You stroll up to the "Exotic Adventures" section, and as you do, a wave of excitement pours over you. You had always wanted to go on a safari type adventure somewhere, and shopping for appropriate clothes is exciting in and of itself.
Your excitement turns to confusion when you notice the photographs accompanying the items - next to each rack of clothes is a photo of the item "in action" so to speak, posed with models, and it isn't anything at all like what you expected. The clothes look normal enough - khaki shorts, athletic shirts, hiking boots, etc. It's the models that look bizarre.
One is very clearly part zebra. She stands on the Savannah, poised with grace, elegance, and power in her black capri pants and white top. She isn't wearing any footwear because her feet are hooves. In the background stands a mixed herd of zebra and wildebeest. The photo's caption says "Stand out from the Herd with Zebronix for Women".
"Huh," you say, unsure of what to make of the ad. Most of your brain believes that it's a digital effect or makeup or something. But there's that small part in the back of your mind that believes this could be more authentic than you thought possible...
You look a but further, and sure enough, every article of clothing has a similar photo with it. Gorilleanis, Bella Liona, Tigrana, even a very disturbingly realistic photo for Elephantina. The model looks to be about ten feet tall, since she's got several human women standing around her. There are so many other lines with so many other animalistic models. It's stunning.
"Attention customer," the loadspeaker chimes in with a very soothing male voice, "be sure to take advantage of our special sale today - buy three hundred dollars worth of clothes from our 'Exotic Adventures' line and receive a free trip to anywhere in the world! See associate for details."
You pause for a moment, thinking things over. Free trip to anywhere? In the world? For just three hundred bucks worth of clothes? And did the loudspeaker say customer? As in singular, not plural?
