The wisdom of the saying "You get what you pay for" is all too apparent with Woolworth's management in the UK. When you hire ill-informed imbeciles to do your marketing, chances are the decision will come to haunt you in some way. Woolworths recently introduced a line of beds for young girls - and the advertising staff decided to give the brand a nice, cozy name: The Lolita Bed. We're not making this up, folks. They actually named a bed for young girls after the titular character of Vladimir Nabokov's notorious 1955 novel about a sexually promiscuous vixen who brings ruin to the middle age man who becomes obsessed with her. Stanley Kubrick adapted the novel for his 1962 film version. After outraged consumers complained, red-faced Woolworths execs pulled the ad campaign and explained "the staff who run the website had never heard of Lolita, and to be honest no one else here had either." You would think that after the story was met with international scorn, the top brass would have at least run to Wikipedia for a crash course in what the name Lolita meant to most educated people. Alas, even this obvious method of saving face was too logical for the great brains who run one of Britain's oldest department store chains.
