“The problem is you take ‘ignorant’ and then add ‘stupid’.”
Urbano Monte’s Massive Map of the Earth - 1587
1587 .. seriously?
The eternal problem. Sales VERSUS Marketing. He even features ‘sales and marketing soldiers’
As I wrote they might say …
“Your Passion Is Our Satisfaction.”
… to your face but behind closed doors you are just a target that they are at war with.
