"Dysfunctional", yes; "unrelated to the reality", no.

Of course there are good managers and marketers, the only problem is to find them among the mass.
The strips are fun because they express a reality, even if a bit dysfunctional and exaggerated, it is still the world were we live, and scarily true.

It's not like marketing magically removes soules, it's just that "flexible ethics" is what you learn on marketing school... so either you embrace it, or you leave it.

I doubt they'd make the connection.

When I did my IT degree a friend working in consulting (this should have been my first clue) suggested I couple my degree with a business degree, majoring in marketing and international business.

Three of the courses provided conflicting facts which were to be taken as gospel (the only solution was to learn what the 'truth' was for each different subject. I guess an unintentional lesson on subjective reality and perspective), and the fresh-faced, preppy (and highly attractive) young business students were like... pod people.
Not exactly over-burdened by thoughts of ethics or morality. ...Or just thoughts in general, really.

Spooky. I bailed on that degree quick-smart.

Sometimes you have to wonder what the average marketing person thinks of this strip....
