Once upon a time, on an Internet far, far away, there was a site called trainwrecks.

We’re back, and we hate you.

Oh my god, the Youngs are now narrating our youths back to us. (Keep cool, Very Slightly Less Youngs, they apparently haven’t found out about Daniel Clowes yet.) nedhepburn: OK Soda was a soft drink created by The Coca-Cola Company in 1993 that aggressively courted the Generation X demographic with unusual advertising tactics, including endorsements and even outright negative publicity. It did not sell well in select test markets and was officially declared out of production in 1995 before reaching nation-wide distribution. The drink’s slogan was “Things are going to be OK.” OK Soda was intentionally marketed at the difficult Generation X and Generation Y markets, and attempted to cash in on the group’s existing disillusionment and disaffection with standard advertising campaigns; the concept was that the youth market was already aware that they were being manipulated by mass-media marketing, so this advertising campaign would just be more transparent about it.
