Swearing for your Supper

Okay technically this is marketing so we can blame them. I'll happily throw in F-bombs when the convo and situation calls for it. But would you hand out one of these in a meeting/at a conference?

REALLY depends on the audience, but I might.

I assumed it was cybersecurity, checked, and it was. Wouldn't fit any other niche and is risky nonetheless.

Yeah I should have clarified the industry. Even then though, Iโ€™ve only seen the โ€˜hardoโ€™ info sec folks swear on LinkedIn..

I said no, because it would 100% rely on the audience. It's risky, and that can be an issue.

I like them as stickers on your table on a trade show floor - I'm sure they'd get picked up and talked about - but not sure about as a leave behind for every customer.

is there some sort of play on words with the F&K that means something to the audience?

Not really a fan of gratuitous profanity. Itโ€™s basically going for a cheap laugh and hard to take seriously.

This is how i feel about comedians as well. If itโ€™s not funny without a bunch of profanity throwing some in doesnโ€™t change that for me. But also I personally might as well be a sailor and I recognize the double standard ๐Ÿซก

This fairly well known cybersecurity company made this collateral for a conference and looks like thereโ€™s plenty to hand out. Owner of the company reshared the LI post, including this picture

I like it. It's edgy, but not offensive. Once you figure out what they do, it's actually on point.

When a lead answers the phone for the first time in history only to scream at me to stop calling my first reaction is to laugh really loud. I don't even think about it.
