Can Marketing Create World Peace?

When the government of North Korea recently closed all of its nuclear facilities at its Yongbyon nuclear complex, I'm not sure that Aquent played a role, but we had just sent out the direct mail piece pictured above, so who's to say there was absolutely no connection?

When I first saw this piece, I was wondering if the Dear Leader was going to take offense. I mean, he does have a million-man army and, apparently, nuclear weapons, so I wouldn't want to rub him the wrong way. Then I did a little bit of research about North Korea and found out that "under the wise flawless Songun leadership of Comrade Generalissimo Kim Jong Il all the ills plaguing the outside world dare not touch Juche Korea which is why all the Koreans live lives of complete blissful happiness that never even once suffers any dampening by the single reverse, setback, or fiasco."

Reading those words convinced me that Aquent, at least, had nothing to fear from the country "known around the world as the Land of Joy and Hope of the Utopian Socialist Workers' Paradise." In fact, once I saw this video, I kind of wanted to move there!
