Note to anyone considering using ninjas in their marketing:

It will make you seem out of touch and dated. It was clever for a brief moment a few years ago. But now it just smacks of laziness.

It's like hippies still thinking bellbottoms are hip. Yes, at one point that was true, but now bellbottoms just make you look like a hippie.

If you want to appear creative and edgy, please come up with a unique meme, not a dated played out one.

A great example is Hipmunk - a fresh meme that's actually hip.



Mostly good feedback except bellbottoms are bad ass.


We were going for the "so bad it's good" thing ;)


Better to be actually good.


But do ninjas really ever go out of style?
