  1. Fun with Marketing(Market researchers, where were you?) Fine Corinthian Leather, Kentucky Fried Chicken, California Champagne, and other marketing nonsense

  2. Fine Corinthian leather ‘Although the Cordoba name was generally thought to be taken from the Spanish city, the car's emblem was actually a stylized version of the Argentine cordoba coin. Either way, the implication was Hispanic, and this theme was carried out with somewhat baroque trim inside and by having Mexican movie star Ricardo Montalban as the car's advertising spokesman. However, comedians noted that his eloquent praise of its "fine Corinthian leather" interior seemed to indicate either Greece or Mississippi as a design influence. ("Corinthian leather" was a meaningless term invented for the purpose, but the term has come to mean leather with a vinyl surface treatment that requires little care.)’ • http://www.answers.com/topic/chrysler-cordoba

When you think it’s butter, but it’s (s)not… Nobody Does It Butter Than Our Ad Agencies Who Gleefully Spread Their Lies http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A36133-2002Aug2 By Hank Stuever Washington Post Staff Writer Sunday, August 4, 2002; Page F01 In hindsight, this was what it was like to live back then, when cynicism ran so deep that spreadables worked as a national metaphor for mistrust. Even the butter was lying. Subtextually, the tub contained Nixon.
