Staff, this holiday season we’re going for broke. We’ve jammed our store full of flat-screen TVs of all sizes, wall-to-wall, and now we need to make shoppers think they can’t live without owning one.
Lamar, you were in charge of selecting content to excite the shoppers. They need to be slobbering, frothing at the mouth, willing to spend everything they have for one of these TVs.
So, what did you choose? An action-packed Blu-ray thriller? Perhaps a thudding pop music video? A larger-than-life romance for the women?
Не, бос, я выбраў…
In English, Lamar, not Belarussian.
Sure, Boss. We’re going with closed-circuit broadcast of President Lukashenko.
LUKASHENKO? Doing what? Sky-diving? Running from a burning building?
Even better, Boss. President Lukashenko addressing National Congress, in Minsk! Is very good, huh Boss?
Lamar, take this revolver and shoot out every TV screen in the store. We’ll have to sell these things as large radios…
Okay, Boss. After I shoot all TVs, what then?
I’m glad you asked, Lamar….

Oh, come on now, those aren’t real politicians. For a start-off, they are all awake and aren’t pulling any goofy faces.
Apart maybe from President Lukashenko, whose fake Hitler moustache is in truly poor taste.
Yeah, like you’d ever wear socks, Unca….
Wow, everyone is shocked speechless! I am too, it’s just that I’m not afraid to admit it…
That’s why I learned to knit socks, Unca. Now I need never fear a world without socks.
His hair is white,
His moochie is black,
He’s a wearing a tie that could be pink
He is a sorry sight
And he faces a lot of flack
And most people say on TV he stinks…
Rock ‘em, Sock ‘em Robots made out of socks?
You reckon that’s a moustache Nosmo? I thought it was very luxuriant nose hair…
Why, thankyou, Miss Spin..
Special sprinkled donuts for you today…
We should start a worldwide sock amnesty, unca. Let’s reunite all the odd sock brothers and sisters around the globe.
Can we add mittens and scarves to that amnesty too?
I am still struggling with my scarf..
I’d love to Shra, but I wouldn’t want to anger the socks.
Second that Spinny!
