En el episodio de hoy, asistiremos al gran golpe contra Amazon, orquestado por uno de nuestros personajes favoritos: Oobah Butler de Vice. Un auténtico bufón de las miserias humanas que, con su ingenio afilado, logró escudriñar y explotar las grietas legales del gigante del comercio electrónico. ¿Cómo lo hizo? ¿Cuánto tiempo duró la fiesta antes de que Jeff Bezos enviara a sus androides de combate? Y como postre, Lord Sartán nos servirá en bandeja las noticias más miserables del momento, esas que te harán sentir que, después de todo, tu vida no va tan mal. ⚠️ Lágrimas en la lluvia no es un medicamento, pero lee bien esta advertencia antes de consumirlo. Este programa es la puerta de entrada al miseriaverso. Cuidado, que engancha. Como el vino: uno no hace daño, pero más de uno y acabarás viendo la vida con resaca existencial.

British politics can be laughable. But can poking fun at it actually spark change? Marie Le Conte speaks to professional prankster Oobah Butler, whose viral videos have amassed tens of millions of views online and caused real-world action in their aftermath.  • “There's something really lame about a prank. It's quite a disarming thing to use. If it's not punching upwards, it can't be funny fundamentally. It's fun to mess with institutions that ‘deserve it' in a way that is beneath them – you're dragging them down with you.” – Oobah Butler • "I don't think I can call myself an activist. I'm down here in the mud.” – Oobah Butler Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/bunkercast  Written and Presented by Marie Le Conte. Produced by: Eliza Davis Beard. Audio production: Jade Bailey.

I've declared in the past that CPG brands must pivot from linear thinking to advancing a truly circular economy. Yet, I'm 100% sure I wasn't envisioning this strategic transition in the same way as the sports drinks brand Release. Where does “the world's first fully reusable energy drink” source its “upcycled functional ingredients”? At the same place it became a top-selling beverage brand…Amazon. Confused? Well…whether Amazon delivery drivers simply have trouble finding public restrooms or they are indeed being pushed to unrealistic productivity standards, those smiling trucks are usually filled with water bottles of urine. So, prankster turned CPG entrepreneur Oobah Bulter decided that “material” would be perfect for a sustainable sports drink. After that, he added some slick branding and Amazon marketplace strategies…and the algorithm did the rest of the work.

TripAdvisor is the most popular tourism website in the US and is a great resource for finding travel destinations and restaurants. That is of course as long as they are real and exist. The Shed at Dulwich was only real in the minds of those who wanted to reserve a table at what sounded like a new upscale, farm-to-table eatery. Oobah Butler had other plans, mainly to see if he could get The Shed to the number one spot on TridAdvisor's list of restaurants.

Oobah Butler is a British journalist, author, comedian, TV host and filmmaker, perhaps mostly known for his elaborate prank videos for VICE. Many of us have laughed at the absurdity of hyping a non-existent restaurant into the London No 1 on Tripadvisor; creating a fashion brand from market stall garments and displaying it on Paris Fashion Week; or sending another (better?) version of yourself to your highschool reunion. Oobah did all of these things and documented it, and when he received media attention he sent alternative versions of himself to the interviews. That's why his book is aptly titled How to bullsh*t your way to Number 1. We met him before a talk during Sime Leader Sessions at Epicenter in Stockholm, to discuss what is funny - and what exactly he is revealing about our human nature.

If you have ever bought something in an online shop or been to a restaurant, chances are you've read a review for it, apparently written by a customer. And chances are you've also spotted more than a few suspicions ones, which stand out for their unqualified and lavish praise while being unusually free of personal details, or perhaps because they appear as a diatribe of awfulness designed to put you off forever. Who wrote those? In fact, there's a whole industry surrounding fake reviews - and it matters because more and more of us are buying things online and relying on other people's online advice to make the right choice. Freelance journalist Oobah Butler talks to us about his entire fake restaurant in London, James Kay, at review site Tripadvisor, tells us how they try to weed out inventions such as Oobah's and brand reputation consultant Simon Wadsworth lays on tips for consumers and businesses.(Picture: Customer review rating.
