Over-used Advertising tactics

Perhaps they could be a little more creative with their BUZZ words, however I find the articles in the last 5 or 6 issues of Blade to be some of the most interesting I can remember. :confused:

David, to you and me and others on this forum, you are right. I hear ya.

But those type of buzzwords are for newsstand excitement, and EVERY magazine worth it's salt will work that angle: Cycle World, Cosmopolitan, Hot Rod, etc, etc, all do the same thing.

(Try reading a cover of Cosmo without the word sex or sexy. Never gonna happen.)

Like Kevin pointed out, look inside for the good stuff. :thumbup:
 
Hope someone posts alternative words for "Hot" or "Hottest" that might be considered equally strong buzzwords. Personally I think that the editors are right on target and know their market.
 
OVERUSED BUZZWORDS:

HOT
HOTTEST
CUTTING EDGE

COLLABORATION

My favorite is giving you information that only 8 people in the world would understand or know what their talking about......IE

This steel is Carbon Poly Nobad with 5% Aluminum Slag and 3% Hot Forged KatanaWana Tempered layered Damascasheen with a CNC Concentric Zero Quenched Iron Ore from the Asteroid Rutan in the Andromeda Quadrant of the Milky Way and then heated to 50,000 degrees in an Easy Bake Oven for a RC of 692 with a diamond honed full beveled false edge and a Titan Ruby splayed coating of Powdered Zinc Oxide with zero molecules for a hard coating that will Match the custom sheath of Wombat fur that is extricated from the wilds of Zambeezee in Equalateral desert conditions of drought and wetness.

Kind of hard to imagine a world without all the buzzwords and crazy advertisements as we have become so accustomed to it. :confused:
