When I think of the term Sales Promotions, I think of some partially balding sales clerk at (Insert favorite corporate shopping store here) slowly and methodically taking down the previous weeks sales stickers while putting up the new ones, complete with an evil grin fixed upon his pallid face. I have always assumed that it must be this miser of man that is behind the changing of the weeks promotions, or more importantly the subject to my dismay. Him and his team of veteran enjoyment-robbing-pirate-hookers, they know I am coming and change the sales upon my immediate departure to the vast, glorious, and dangerous land that is The Supermarket. I feel this way because it always seems that all the cool shit was discounted the week before. I know that it's relatively stupid and implausible to assume that a corporation would make its primary focus to short me out of my potential to get a sweet deal, but seriously wheres the love at?
This brings me to my triumph of the day. Strawberries, not just any strawberries either. I'm talking about delicious, organic strawberries for two dollars a pound. So organic... they are organic. Finally my quest for a bitchin' deal is complete. I guess all I have learned in any of my marketing classes is true, people love sales promotions. It invokes equal parts happiness and excitement, like a pirate sailing the high seas of consumerism avast his ship of savvyness. Now excuse me while I obliterate these strawberries.
Edit: Forgot a picture, already ate the damn strawberries, here's an owl getting hosed.

Owl getting a bath.... awesome
