After a quick search, I went to the site. In terms of generating sales and market share, it's completely useless, and as a potential client, totally annoying. As far as brand identity goes, the website's great. HEY! Maybe this is another ploy of the Fabulous French to frustrate Americans...this time on the battlefield of fashion.

"fabuleux marcel" is fair enough... google it, it's top result. Easy. Unless you want to spam all "marcel" searches? Then the SEO guy comes in. and I have the best sex when I wear stuff without brands. I'm not very much into advertising bimbos/ god I hate brands... but then again nobody knows all my stuff is MUJI (the no-logo brand... yes brand lol) so f what…/ not everyone wants to be a googlewhore. “fabuleux marcel” is fair enough… google it, it’s top result.

"You don't have DSL? Huh! We don't *want* you to buy our product!"

The webbies agree it's not even a site, the seasoned (traditional) advertising people found the concept extremely well thought through and perfectly executed ... My opinion? If the concept is 'take a cheap product and try to sell it as expensive as possible', then the advertising is indeed spot-on. But fucked up must you be to buy a product with that attitude. Better spend that money on a shrink. And the site ... ? It's not a site, it's old-skool advertising that was too difficult (and expensive) to bring on TV, so let's do it online. HOWEVER ... it's so out-of-the-ordinary that some lost souls may just buy it, and god knows there are many of those. Let them dwell in peace ...

It's not because they work on a Mac the rest of the world does. PC and pop-ups don't go well together. On top of that PC users want their windows full screen!

Straffer nog: "In the UK and Ireland, the term is occasionally used as slang for the Belgian beer Stella Artois. In British culture, Stella Artois is associated with a drinking culture in which domestic abuse may follow a bout of drinking Stella Artois at the local pub. The name Stella is also linked to the film A Streetcar Named Desire, as this is the name of Brando's beaten wife." Wikipedia vindt dat de marcellekes toch ‘wifebeaters’ zijn.

Marcellekes don't fall in this category as the bit around your shoulder isn't wide enough. (although I can imagine that in some parts of the US, this might not be true anymore, I was thaught this information being in the north and north east) The translation of marcelleke in English is <b>vest</b>. Believe me, it has caused confusion in our household as vest in dutch is something completely different ;-), but you knew that! On the subject: <i>so called Flash sites</i> is for loosers FYI (and off the subject):
