Marketing is serious business, yet sometimes it's good to poke fun at very serious things to loosen up and look at things differently. Every so often it's good to laugh at ourselves. Do you have some good jokes on marketing? I proclaim today marketing humor day.
Help us get over the mid-week blues. Join in the fun, leave a good marketing joke as a comment here. The most original (and in good taste) wins a copy of The Big Moo by Seth Godin.

BMW Gets Blue Windscreen of Death
Redmond, Wash. (SatireWire.com) — Microsoft announced this week that a version of its Windows operating system will be installed in BMW's new 7 Series cars, a move analysts say will dramatically increase the vehicle's ability to suddenly crash for no reason. According to BMW spokesman Gehard Voorst, the cars, which will now take at least five minutes to warm up, will enable owners to confidently cruise and compute at high speeds for several hours before the machine abruptly seizes and catapults the driver through the 7 Series' new "blue windscreen of death."
