'Glucose Kills Babies' - what does that mean?

Inspired by Cassandra Forsyth's comment on The FitCast.

OK..... so what are you using the design for? If it is something for mass appeal, and your customer hasn't yet listened to that particular episode (like me), you've could have lost 'em, I think. But, I am probably not your average target consumer (never assume to be representative of that - marketing rule#1), so....

....if you were one of my marketing students, I'd ask you:

1) to define your market (who is your audience/customer)

2) what appeals to them

3) what are you trying to tell them

4) what are you trying to do wih the design (what is its purpose) and how does the design convey your message to your audience.

not so sure that its a good route to go. Sure it grabs the attention but as a mom its kinda creepy. Not so female friendly IMO not that that really matters but thought I'd put it out there anyway.

It is just a joke for Cass, there is a slim chance I will use it as a design. I think the t-shirts we got now work fine. I could offer it in the store for people who wanted to buy one.

Personally, I think it is funny and I would wear it.

But then again, in this over sensitive society, mentioning death and babies in the same sentence won't go over to well.

It's too cluttered.

Just have; 'Glucose Kills Babies' on the back with a fitcast emblem on the front breast.

I'm with Jenn on this one...a little too creapy. And I agree with Beachead that we are an overly sensitive society, but kill & babies I don't think applies.

Kevin, I really don't think you want this product out there. To associate that with thefitcast would be a mistake...I understand it's a joke and it's funny...but only to someone that has heard the episode.

I strongly suggest you reconsider putting that on a t-shirt. It's going to turn off pretty much anyone that had kids, neices, nephews, little brothers or sisters.

Just my $.02.

Ted

It was fun on the fitcast. It won't be fun on a t-shirt.

No offense taken...I was just under the impression you were thinking about using on an actual shirt. No sweat.
