Inspired by a recent tweet do you know any examples of the use of mythical, religious, fictional, historical characters/stories/situations used wrongly?
This is the tweet:
@ThingsJackDigs im not mayonnaise
I'm convinced no one has actually read the story of Icarus.
Like, no-one's going to call their new super liner the Titanic any time soon are they?
The tweep also noted the preponderance of romantic songs about Romeo & Juliet, given that effectively it's two barely post pubescents committing unintentional suicide a couple of days after they first meet.
Anyway - do you know any more where I can smugly look down on some marketer, singer, screenwriter or brand manager who knew the names but not the story?
Stumble It!
