Marketing 101

What's the sum of Russell Simmons plus Walmart? The answer, another genius idea of the mega-marketing mogul himself. The other day while browsing through the mens department(no longer called section)looking for socks and under shirts, I stumbled upon a huge selection of arglye-print sweater vests and button-ups. Now, I immediately thought to myself, hmmm, Phat Farm has competition on the budget-shoppers horizon. Looking at the hang-tag, it read American Classics. That's funny, cause either this was a direct hit in Russy's pockets or he himself was cornering the market like I never seen before. Looking up in the sky(dumbfounded), just below the eye in the sky, was that cheesy ass, chicklet grin of the man himself on a poster board. Now my question to you is, would you wear American Classics even though it's a Walmart stocked brand...
