Awards time
The award for least communication between product development department and marketing goes to Gillette for thinking they could make something better than the Mach 3.

Marketing: "This Mach 3 is fantastic, and everyone we survey has agreed. Just the right amount of blades too. Yay us!"

Meanwhile, in product development..

"Fucksocks, Wilkinson have brought out the 4-blade Quattro. Everyone will bin their Mach 3 and buy that instead. We must development a new razor; one with 5 blades. No, 6! 5 and then one on the back"
...sometime later...

Marketing: "What the fuck's this piece of crap? We've hit perfection with the Mach 3, who's gonna buy this? No one, that's who. Everyone still prefers their old one."
Prod Dev: "We've spent a truckload of cash on this, so make sure it sells"
Marketing: "We need to beg people to buy our new Fusion. What says 'please buy our new razor, we know it's second rate, but buy it anyway. It cost us a bomb to invent.' most? I know, lets get expensive sportstars to stop people using their old Mach 3 by using sporting tricks. I mean, surely every man would buy the Fusion if David Beckham kicked a fucking football in your face."
