can you see a way to make it better
2006-10-01 14:42:06 · update #1
For an example, I have a pair of pliers packaged on one of those plastic bubble cards sitting in front of me. Not only is the plastic extra tough but they used electricians tie wraps to be extra secure in attaching the pliers to the card. To get the pliers off the card I need a pair of pliers. Plus something to open the plastic. The security code alarm sender plastic thingy was stuck on the outside back of the card, it came off when they were in the bag being brought here. This is from a top brand name company, they are not cheap pliers. There must be a better way to package them.

i don't know why but it seems that our whole economy is just based on making something cheap and selling for alot more than it's worth this is called getting ripped off and it's very popular and many people have tried it and many have ended up successful and the concept of these cons is to trade nothing for something but you know what they say crime doesn't pay but i am getting off the subject here
and i mentioned this i don't know why people do this but our economy is also based on deception too just to sell a product people will tell you anything to get you to buy their cheesey product (especially lie) and it seems that products like this aren't being made with much effort
(i don't really think that anything is being made with any effort these days, just look at the stuff they put on the telivision pretty cheap production values,just goes to show that everyone is turning lazy and not working as hard as they used to,it seems that their thinking they have better things to do)
well i can do this all day but i don't normally write this long but i fell that i should end it now.

How about the Segway?
Sure, it has marketing value for being "trendy", but it is an over-complicated, over-priced electric skooter that doesn't even go that fast. It sucks. Maddox thinks so too, and he is always right (see link).

The persons who can answer this question, probably don't buy badly engineered products, unless they are really well concealed in a mystery box or something.

Have you ever been inside of a PT Cruiser? I think they were made for double leg amputees.

Frank Gehry's "creations". He has no idea how they stand up.
