…it’ll stand up and dance if you put enough effort into it.
Wow! How’s that for suggestive?
Sadly, it’s not about what you’re probably thinking.Whenever a new business opens in Korea, it’s usually to a great deal of fanfare. And that goes for any business – restaurant, clothing store, coffee shop – you name it. It seems the bigger the fanfare, the more successful the business will be in the future. Grand openings equal grand futures or something like that. They’ll have music blaring, dancing girls, occasionally clowns, and a lot of the time they’ll have one of these:
Of course, it’s not supposed to look like that. It’s supposed to be standing tall and proud, inflatable arms flapping away, beckoning passers-by to stop in and see this fabulous new establishment.All this poor guy could manage was something like this:
I’m not sure what message that’s going to send, but I expect that such a lackluster performance could be taken as a bad omen for the business’ prosperity.
Let’s hope whoever paid for this thing got some kind of a refund. I wonder if they could sue the company that provided it if the business fails?
“My shoe store went under, and it’s all your dancing tube guy’s fault! People laughed and nobody would come in. They thought we had cheap products and couldn’t afford a decent tube guy. It’s all your fault!!!”
Hey, why not? People sue for less every single day. I just wonder if Tube Guy will get subpoenaed.
