Marketing Porn

A few days ago, I went to Quiapo to look for a battery charger. I didn't find one, so I bought porn instead. If you ever went out looking for a battery charger, you know how irresistible it is to just buy porn instead.


The thing with buying porn is that the peddlers are extremely helpful. They try to assist you a lot. "Bos, debede, bisidi? X? berly legal? Wallet? Cellphone?" There I was, with a handful of porn peddlers while I browse thru their porn library. Competition is really tight in the porn industry. As I was browsing thru a peddler's collection, three or more thugs, er peddlers are trying to drag me out of there and take all my money, then stab me. Of course, they probably want to sell me porn as well.


After 10-15 minutes of meticulous searching, I finally found one, it stars a Teagan, supposedly. So I told the guy I'm buying it by pointing at the dvd cover. I paid him and then some tattooed peddler wanted to sell me more. Now, I'm a one-porn-DVD-a-day kind of guy, so therefore, I didn't want to buy any more crap from them.


So the guy went to his backup marketing strategy. "Natatakot ka yata sa kin eh!" (You scary of me!) That statement got me thinking, "Does he actually think I'll buy from him by threatening me?" Now, to clarify things, I wasn't scared of him per se. I was scared of all of them who probably have tons of ice picks and darts in their pockets. In other words, of course I was scared.

Like a true scaredy cat, I smiled and walked away. And the half-naked porn peddler kept on taunting me with, "Takot ka?" (You scary?)
