Marketing

The American Dream never really existed. 

It was a marketing scam.

Let's go through the marketing campaign for Prairie Belt smoked sausage in a can.

Person 1: Well, let's make sure the label is yellow and red and blue. That will be eye-catching.

Person 2: Good idea. And let's put a kid on the label.

Person 1: A girl? 

Person 2: No. A boy. A white boy.

Person 1: Is he eating the sausage.

Person 2: No, he's sort of anticipating eating it.

Person 1: So, he's smiling? 

Person 2: Half-smiling. Like he's not sure if he's excited to get to eat this or not.

Person 1: (pause) Talk about truth in advertising.

Person 2: (laughing) Right?!
