If anyone here is lucky enough to actually get this job as GLOBAL marketing manager, please remember to give Europe and the UK a LOT MORE Transformers love!

It's sickening and pathetic to keep seeing what is warming our shelves over here in contrast to what the USA and Japan are getting and have been getting for years.

Sadly they would never give the job to a fan, even if they meet the required criteria. It'll probably go to some stereotypical unimaginative, black suited, brown nosed, executive 'yes man' type.

Yeah, sorry, I certainly didn't mean to leave any other countries or continents out intentionally. Man, that REALLY sucks... Anyway, like MightyMagnus78 already's mentioned, the people they choose for these kinds of jobs usually don't have a clue as to what they're actually marketing and have even less heart for their products or their customers wishes.
