VPRO Gids cover this week!

Marketing
“Spam product manager #1: I’ve got some good news and some bad news. The good news is that Spam is hugely popular among the people of the South Pacific. The bad news is that, according to the famous travel writer Paul Theroux, the islanders dig it because they’re ex-cannibals and they think Spam tastes like human flesh.

I’m going to market my telephone incompetence.
I’m pulling a Suzanne Somers. Only $49.99. Not available in stores.
