Tis The Time To Tag Team
The Time To Tag Team has arrived. Take a look around. In the tradition of Hulk Hogan and Mr. T in Wrestlemania 1 - people, organisations and products are teaming up. For better or worse one might argue.
Believe this not? Here are some notable examples...
Lenovo + IBM
The People's Tag Team - The mass might of “Made In China” manufacturing + the brilliance of “Made In America” branding. Lenovo’s consumer markets + IBM’s business customers. This historical coupling is best summarised with This Letter which also features a team photo of Chairman Yang and CEO Ward. Say Cheese! guys (or Tofu) - the world is watching.
Morgan Freeman + Intel
The Where Did That Come From? Tag Team - Can the technological innovation of an Oscar-winning actor and the sexy star glamor of a chip maker finally solve peer-to-peer film piracy? Intel is tag teaming with Morgan Freeman's Revelations Entertainment company on Clickstar, a venture set to launch in 2006. Clickstar's mission is 1) to side-step the cinema as the default vehicle for viewing films on their first release and 2) to glamorize the microprocessor industry.
Apple + Intel
The Cheap Chip Tag Team - Consistent with goals to glamorize the microprocessor industry, Intel has also teamed up with Apple. Next generation sexy Imacs and iBooks will sport 'Intel Inside' labels. No more IBM Power PC chips. Did the newly branded Lenovo ThinkPads make Apple Think Different?
Apple + Motorola
The Ipod Might Die Tag Team - After much battles and delay, the Motorola Apple iTunes Phone is finally due out. Sporting ITunes mobile software (looks much like the iPod's), the Motorola E790 will allow you access to song purchase downloads from Apple's Online Music Store. "Hello iPhoto" next?
Napster + (Sony + Ericsson)
The Prodigal Son Returns Tag Team - The prodigal son Napster is reformed and returns to play the game by the book with Sony Ericsson in a tag team against the afore-mentioned Ipod Might Die Tag Team.
Adobe + Macromedia
The PDFLash Tag Team - The Holy Grail of Tag Teams voted most likely to change the content creation and document exchange landscape. Knocking down the Gates of Microsoft?
Tom Cruise + Katie Holmes
The Hubbard or Holmes? Tag Team - No matter what one might think of Mr. Top Gun's recent public antics, Katie Holmes' alignment with the Cruise Brand can only be a good thing. For her that is. Look at former tag team mate Kidman. She's queen of the world.
Nightmare Freddy + Halloween Jason
The Killer Yawn Tag Team - Freddy resurrects Jason Voorhees and sends him to Elm Street to create havoc, making people think Kreuger did it. When Jason steals some kills from Freddy, the latter begins to fight the infamous hockey mask-wearing killer. Yawwwwn.
Chewing Gum + Breast Enhancement
The Mouthful Tag Team - Bust-Up Gum: A chewing gum which the makers say can help enhance the size, shape and tone of the breasts. Maybe this one is better as Double Bubble Team.
