A hint of Sombrero Fallout, there?

I work in a bookstore, and I see the things that are published as if they are a "take a memo, ""Racist Zombie Book"", I want a draft by Monday".

I want to make a book that is full of racist zombie comedy. "Black people are all "I like to eat ribs", Zombies be all "RIBBZZZZ" , White people are all like brainy, Zombies be all BRAINZZZ; with funny pictures. I'm not trying to hurt people with racism, I'm positing a terrible idea that is full of racism.

kinda thinking that such a book already exists, you caught a glimpse of the spine of it in the store where you work, and then it got lodged in your subconscious before coming out the other end in the guise of a terrible, original idea

there is a sequel to that 'stuff white people like' book ffs. and i'm sure they sell like, zombie plush dolls and all kinds of crap like that. it's just a mushing of those two ideas along with a tribute to shitty standup comedy tropes

Stable of magazines for people who think they're alright, but nothing special. 'Fairly Attractive Woman', 'OK at Cooking', 'Relatively Competent Man' the launch titles? cld be realistic, aspirational titles for ppl with self-esteem issues. 'Happy Enough' mag profiling people who are doing ok, feeling alright about things? Dunno, haven't thought it through.
Anyway, SWOT analysis:
S: Brand is honest, realistic, reassuring, values appealing to many in these tough economic times.
W: Possibly subconsciously stolen from somewhere? Brand displays offputting lack of ambition.
O: A lot of people who are like this, probably
T: All other magazines are basically like this already with less explicit titles?

S: no-one's done it before
W: ...because it's a terrible idea
O: go down in history as a spectacular failure
T: from the lawyers of those affected by your scheme

Les centimètres énigmatiques (snoball), Tuesday, 7 December 2010 17:30 (fifteen years ago)

haha - whenever I hear/think about SWOT analysis, I think about feeling like a hostage in board/staff retreats where this is often done, and dreaming about being rescued by a SWAT team.
