Northeast Philly sex shop owner says business 'mobbed with customers" after Trump campaign presser

https://www.phillyvoice.com/four-seasons-northeast-philly-sex-shop-fantasy-island-donald-trump-giuliani/


Trump's moribund presidency has become a laughingstock since his legal team held a Saturday press conference at Four Seasons Total Landscaping in Northeast Philadelphia, timed almost perfectly with the announcement that Joe Biden had won the election.

Though The New York Times has reported that the unusual location was chosen intentionally — instead of the much more logical Four Seasons hotel in Center City — the world seems more than ready to drop this in the column of alternative facts.

"Oh yeah. It’s helped me out. Matter of fact, if I knew this was coming, I would have definitely got in touch with a web designer, and also [gotten] some silkscreen-type things, to just put on a shirt because my Fantasy Island Facebook page has been blown up. I’m past 7,000 people commenting on everything that’s been going on. I had to order some more stuff and ask the companies if they could physically pick up some stuff at my distributors or actually ask UPS if we could fast-track some of it. People in the neighborhood forget about us because we haven’t done any major, major advertising. We could never afford advertising like this. This is worldwide. I don’t know if I’ll ever trend like this ever again."

Business seems to be booming on the block. One hopes that mass suicide on the part of eager "customers" won't be the next spinoff!

Heard that from Keith Olbermann, and some other place I can't remember.

that the guy was initially complaining about all the people "standing outside" of his place (including taking selfies) but not actually going inside and partaking of or buying anything. I guess he found a way to "market" himself finally.

What a development..
Cousin fukker, America's mayor, Presidential campaign wrecked by Biden's zinger, corrupt henchman revealing private talks by butt-dialing journalists, wanker, employee of the month for the local dildo shop. What's next?
