"1. Marketers suck. Including me. Look at my big tech company list over on Facebook. Do you actually learn much? A little, but marketers push themselves too much, and say too little. 2. No one is focused on what you want. Including me. I have a list of tech industry investors. Rich people. I want to hear from them about when they talk about investing, the economy, starting companies, trends, that kind of stuff. But do they stay focused? No. They talk about movies. Their vacations. Their kids. And more. 3.  Everyone is emotional. Including me. I have a list of tech industry VIPs. People who have changed the world. Invented Twitter. Or the Web. Or built Microsoft. Etc etc. But when they post about emotional topics like politics, religion, babies, pets, death, birth everyone goes crazy and reshares their posts. 4. Everyone has gone Gagnam Style. Including me. We love resharing. Retweeting. Talking. Liking. Pushing. Watch my tech news list and you'll see the same story rehashed, repeated, reshaped, remashed."

"William Gelner, executive creative director at 180LA, the agency behind the campaign, told Adweek, "For many, social media has become a way to brag or show off.  From posting images of expensive  meals or wine they've had to exotic vacations they're on, this is an epidemic, and it's running rampant.  This is weird, considering the economic climate we're in.  Mitsubishi, a car with great design but at a more down-to-earth price, felt compelled to make a statement in-line with their brand ethos." When you head over to MitsubishiUnpretentious.com you'll be redirected to the Mitsubishi Facebook page, where a photo from your most pretentious friend will get mowed down by the Outlander Sport.  You can then watch as Mitsubishi analyzes more of your most pretentious friends and mows them down too."
