The disaster starts with the following sentence: "so marketing had an idea..."

They either want to embed video or forms directly into emails.

Sad thing is it's only been like 4 months since the last time I told them they cannot embed video or forms directly into emails because that's now how email works.

Marketing idea, there's an oxymoron!

There's also this great one that goes: "We've always done it this way"

Also: "But it's just a button"

@HiFiWiFiSciFi thank god it didn't become reality for emails yet.

It’s not like it’s completely unrealistic, though.
Just look at PDF. If I didn’t know it and somebody would tell me that you can have interactive 3D content and forms in a file format for printable documents, I would spit out my coffee laughing out loudly. But here we are. Crazy land.

Wait, your marketing have ideas?

Mine have "but we have already agreed on this and promised our entire customer base this will exist on <insert date>"

I'm I'm still sitting here trying to work what "it" even is as it's the first I'm hearing about it 3 days away from launch.
