Cult of the Red Stapler

Wow, Staples has everything. $15USD paid for my OfficeSpace fix. I find it hillarious that... 1) Swingline did not give authorization to the makers of OfficeSpace to use their staplers. 2) After the public demanded their own Red Swinglines - they finally made one. 3) Only the "Rio Red" color has packaging that reads "Collectors Edition" and "The star of any office space" (get it?) It seems like a weird "yes we're cross promoting but we're not openly marketing it as such because there is no formal agreement to do so" type relationship. I must say, that it is definitely a beautiful addition to any paperless office ;-) |
