Talk about gearing up for the Harry Potter frenzy

Marketing is marketing, right? So it should come as no surprise when everything in the world revolves around the launch of the last of the Harry Potter books, supposed last there must surely be something else to follow?

 

Now what exactly is this Zappo fellow talking about, well let me enlighten you. It was no coincidence the word 'gear' was used in the title because after reading of the latest ecstasy tablets to be seized in the States bearing the HP insignia, it leaves you in no doubt that the drugs industry is a business.


I always enjoyed the old saying that a cigarette burns itself you just the sucker.


Geared up for Harry PotterThis is the latest attempt at distinctive branding of the products they peddle, which by the way comes from Europe and not vice versa as some would think.  14 people were charged in Brooklyn for allegedly (gotta love that word allegedly, nothing wrong with covering one's rear in case the prosecutors have got it all wrong) smuggling in 400 000 pills into the States from Europe.


Within this batch were the pills bearing the distinctive insignia of HP (not the sauce you old codger). Before this they had Bin Laden heroin, no doubt the user wanted to get bombed


The manufacturers of addictive substances will go to no lengths to peddle their drugs and this goes for both cigarettes and alcohol


That's me for now, I am off to the pub


Zappo and out
