Make Poverty History

by Chris Abraham on 20/06/2005 ·

I consider the Make Poverty History campaign to be noble.


Sadly, you can read the name two ways, “we’re going to put an end to poverty” and “we’re going to make more poverty than there ever has been.” In marketing, this semantic gaff is a true faux pas. I don’t even intuitively know what Live 8 is about.
