#323.1 Le marketing risqué

Marketing at the risk of one’s life

The leader of company has to be eager and must work without a sparing himself / herself to make the company successful but sometimes it’s dangerous.
The CEO of Philip Morris and her grandson, Paul Maul are in the bank. Her cigarette and lighter are in her hand. The woman is making a deposit and cashing a check. A man with a hat is walking in. His picture is on the wall. He walks to a window. He pulls out the Smith & Wesson revolver. He shows a note that asks for money. He takes two bags of money. He starts to run away. The lady hits him with her lighter. She stops him. A policeman takes the robber away. A crowd watches. The bank director, Bruce Carpenter gives the CEO a reward. She looks happy to get the money. Philip gets seven balloons from Bruce. Philip also has a big smile on his face. Few days later, she went to the jail to meet him secretly. She gave him a reward, thanking him for advertising Philip Morris brand cigarette as an outcome. While he was running away from the police, he had his cigarette in his mouth the whole time.

In America people celebrate "the Thanksgiving Day" on the fourth Thursday on November every year. The Thanksgiving Day is the day to thank the harvest and show gratitude towards everything. Traditionally people eat turkey and punpkin pie but it is still not proven why we eat turkey and pumpkin pie on the Thanksgiving Day.

Bonfire Night-5th November

In November 1605, the infamous Gunpowder Plot took place in which some Catholics plotted to blow up the English Parliament and King James l, on the day set for the king to open Parliament. The men were angry because the king had treated them badly and they didn't like it.
The story is remembered each 5th November when 'Guys' are burned in a celebration known as "Bonfire Night".


1605年の11月、カトリック教徒が国会議事堂を爆破し、両院議員やジェームス王1世を殺害しようとした極めて悪質な事件が起こった。ジェームス王の人々への扱いが酷いとして連中が怒りをあらわにした結果である。
この物語は、毎年11月5日に事件の陰謀者たちを人形に見立てて焼く「ボンファイヤー・ナイト」というかたちで憶えられ、残されている。
