In case you missed it, yesterday was April Fool’s Day and there were many corporations and tech companies sharing some serious groaners with a few funny ones in the mix. The one that caught our attention was Audible’s attempt at humor with Audible for Fish.
According the the landing page:
Does your favorite goldfish display signs of aggression when you leave for work?
Did you know that 13 out of 27 fish owners reported a positive change in their pets’ behavior after playing Audible titles for water-dwelling chums?
Fill your fishes’ three-second memories with the soothing sounds of underwater audio, and then play it again! Because they won’t remember anyway.
While I get it…the goldfish is simple and iconic and being “on brand” for being orange, it does makes for a “clean” graphic, but c’mon….you’re part of Amazon and have the resources to do something better.
