rally uh i don't know about you but if i were ferrari CEO even if i thought people's modifications to my cars look like ass i couldn't really do anything about it if they bought it with their own money. if they leased it, yeah i'd tell them to either get rid of their stuffty mods or return the car so the mechanics can get rid of them.
heck i'd be glad people actually want to modify my cars. that means they either care enough to make my cars better/less stuffty or like my car enough that they want to make it their own.
I mean, that's nice and all, different managing styles I guess, but at the end of the day you want to cater to a serious image when you're selling serious product. Not memes.
I don't think Ferrari has a problem with personalization. If they did, they probably wouldn't allow them to make any modifications to the car or debadge them at all. What Deadmau5 has done is a direct reflection on Ferrari.
1. what's with the hostility? you don't need to resort to personal attacks.
No I was legitimately trying to not be condescending, I think we all can assume that Mister Cheese knows there's a difference between legitimately famous renowned music producers and average joes. I felt like it'd be calling him legitimately handicapped to assume he doesn't know that.
2. this comparison works completely fine. both an apple laptop and a ferrari are expensive items people can own (one is a lot more expensive, but the point still stands). both can be modified, including distasteful stickers and rebranding (ferrari to purrari, as perhaps apple to banana).
And I'm sure if someone influential was to start advertising a gimmick of said product then Apple would have a problem with it. The difference between a Mac and a sports car is that Mac's are generally advertised on the television, not by celebrities or media. A sports car, however, is a moving billboard for the company.
So no, the brown townogy doesn't really work.
