Santa might look fat and jolly, but don’t let appearances fool you. The man is a cold-hearted capitalist overlord. He might’ve started out with wooden toys and hoops, but now he has a global distribution racket with ties to everything from games consoles to smartphones. The man knows what he’s doing.
He comes down your chimney every year to put expensive objects on your carpet. That’s some aggressive marketing right there. Amazon, Google and Facebook could learn a thing or two. So what would things be like if Santa took tips from techland and ran the show like Silicon Valley?
