When did the dizzy duo have time to create these questionnaires? And why is Tiffany wearing her Fuse uniform? Doesn’t she have any other clothes? At least Luann continues to have more sense then they do.
This is so accurate for this generation. Instead of doing something productive, like getting a JOB, proving your worth and earning a reputation (or as they’re calling it, a “brand”) just create the illusion of one (well, more like delusion), then pat themselves on the back, expect everyone else to buy into that delusion, and demand a trophy.
Luann is really the perfect Beta Test, she doesn’t have any problem telling them what she thinks, but she does it by smiling and responding ironically to the enthusiastic Bets and Tiffany and their massive use of weird acronyms. This project probably won’t be successful, but it could unite the three. I hope this leads to Luann spending more time with Tiffany and Bets and less with Bernice.
For a series of letters to be considered an acronym it has to be pronounced as a word:NATO, NASA, AIDS, PIN, RAM. If it is spoken letter by letter such as N A C Q it is an initialism.
@Ivlax: Yeah, how did they come up with Batubs, anyway? That doesn’t seem to have any Tiff in it. Yeah, I know, but I’m too lazy to go back and look. This is SO lame!
Too bad they can’t just talk to her to help her, rather depend on the alphabet soup and computer. I think they have good intentions, but not sure of their methods. Good comeback on Luann’s part! ;-))
“Our business plan is quite simple. As you know a fool and her money are soon parted. We are trying to do our part to make that happen. I’m sorry Luann but you are not in our proper clientele base.”
Every corporations dream. 100% computerized. No human brain to interfere in the process. Or blame when it goes South. But people still pocket the money.

Luann is 100% correct. The BATUBS idea is completely C-R-A-P!
Time to throw in the towel and head back to the drawing board.
So where is Bernice at?

Luann is right. It’s all C. R. A. P. All those labels are nothing but stereotypes, and stereotypes are C. R. A. P.

Luann should turn down this deal and instead make her own brand. Maybe make a comic strip about her whole life. That’ll draw the crowds.

Luann was cold to the idea Monday, perked up when they “complimented” her yesterday, now she is back to being snarky.
Either way, neither Tiff nor Bets is listening to her so much as being enamored of their own marketing prowess in real time while pitching Luann…
