Tanya:

Yes. Sad but true: Wal-Mart is international. Has a huge chain of stores (including Sam’s) here in Mexico,as well as a restaurant chain, VIPS, and another department store chain called Suburbia. They’re taking over Mexico. Wal-Mart is also big in China. And a few other countries that I know of, though if I recall correctly, it didn’t go over so well in Germany. And Francisco says that I should mention Wal-Mart is NOT in Cuba. Of course.

That is really cute. You wouldn’t see that in my WalMart! Creative advertising adjusted to the audience.

I completely agree. If what they’re doing is different, memorable, and worthy of sharing I have no problem promoting a company.

Thanks, Lola & Emon!
You know, I was conscious of the fact that we were promoting the Alpura company by showing this, but it was just too good not to turn into a video!

This is cool! They may just not buy Alpura but it will keep looping in their head forever. Besides, they achieved a feat by you sharing this with us all.

Reminds me of a wooden floor company promoting their new product – this was some 10 years ago. They placed a 10X10 piece in the middle of South Street Seaport mall and hired two flamenco dancers to dance away. Talk about taking the stomping.

Would love to see more videos like this.
