Marc Womac AMAKings, GossipKings, FuckingAwesome

As a total aside here...I'm a 50 year old webmaster who has been in this business for 16 years and has been very successful with it. What motivation would I ever have to promote a program with "FUCKING" in the title? That is obviously marketed to the 15 to 19 year old baby webmaster crowd, not the more serious of us who actually treat our industry as a real business.

I've always been curious as to people's motivation with these ridiculous names and who their intended market is. All it does for me is turn me right off and keep me far away. I understand the shock value in marketing to the surfers, and have no problem with that (as long as you understand who your customers are), but as a B2B marketing plan, isn't it just wrong?

I don't know, maybe it's just me.
