Here's a whole buncha stuff that made us shoot milk out of our noses, including tweetfails, the internet of things and the long awaited return of Batman...
Are you down with the kids?
Oh sure, we marketers like to pretend we're all hip don't we? With our skinny jeans and our asymetrical hair, but does your marketing department really know what the youth are banging on about or is their shade just jank?
