"The Brownies are coming out of the oven"

Postby Crystal » Mon Jan 25, 2010 10:15 am

WORST PR line in History!!!

Really, Three Chimns... you couldn't do any better ????

For next season why don't you go with
"Somebody's baking brownies"... It's just as bad, but this way you dont have to send brownies over to the folks at The Blood Horse.

p.s. There are so many off-color remarks to make with the name "Big Brown", atlease we just kept it with brownies..

Speaking purely selfishly, I was very happy when 3Chimneys held the lunch to introduce Big Brown (in late 2008) and served BROWNIES for dessert. :D

You won't hear any complaints from me about the analogy. :wink:

Funny enough, I actually liked the "brownies are coming out of the oven" tagline. Perhaps not the most, er, regal-sounding PR campaign, but since it accompanies photos of cute TB bebehs, I'm okay with it! :)

Big Brown...slight deviation, rant

I don't know about worst pr line but did anyone see the hubub about Venus or Serena Williams self designed tennis tog? The dress has slits on each side so the skirt flips up to show "shorts" that are the same color as her skin. The result is a photo that looks like she's wearing nothing and it's not flattering, must be ripples/dimples in the fabric, the seam that makes it look like real cheeks etc....My beef with it is that she probably has the best glutes in the world, showing them in a thong would be an inspiration and instead these shorts make them look like any 40 yr old behind. Sacrilage.....

Makes me long for some Alice B. Toklas brownies,

Excellent thought, but at my age, my metabolism won't handle the "munchies" anymore. Past the lips, on the hips.

Something serious about the Brownies:

I am sure there will be various ''brownies'' names on the racecourse in future!
The more I get to know people, the more I love animals.

little brownies on the ground... I think that is something my chihuahua does twice a day when we go outside..

Dear Three Chimneys,,
I love you as a neighbor, but clean up the little brownies left in the yard by your Brown horse..
Thank you,
Crystal
