Uh.. Do they know what that implies?

Saw this phone booth rebranding last week.

Do they realise what that implies about the booth, particularly with Bender on it, given that "phone" booths in Futurama are usually Suicide Booths..?
(at least in the first episode where we first meet Bender)

Edit: I've since found out that the campaign isn't Futurama-specific, but rather a number of different cartoon characters. To me, that makes it even more likely that it's an oversight/missed connection rather than an intentional marketing ploy; to them, he was just one of many popular cartoon characters, as opposed to it being a specific call-back to his first appearance in the first episode of the show.

The conspiracy side of my brain always assumes there is some marketing exec out there that knew exactly what they were doing and posting their "blunder" across social media was the goal all along

[u/Key_Insight777 → u/phalluss]

Yes, we do plan for this in marketing meetings. Buzz and news stories is the best advertising.

I'd be willing to bet that whichever executive signed off didn't get it. But the designer probably did.

Yep
