Hey, we all bought into it, right? What happens in Vegas
stays in Vegas! And that means you can live out your most immoral, criminally
perverted fantasy without fear of discovery or prosecution if only you do it in
Las Vegas; at least, that was the marketing claim. And I’m sure most of us have
gone there and done unspeakable acts, expecting that neither hide nor hair of
our debased, degenerate debauchery would ever rear its ugly head into the
carefully constructed charade of normality we disingenuously and derisively
call our everyday lives.
Oh, but thanks to Prince Harry blowing the whistle on this
little enterprise Vegas apparently (allegedly) has been running, everyone is
going to realize now that their every move has been documented (allegedly!) by
hidden cameras, and it’s only a matter of time before they’re blackmailed or
publicly exposed to their spouses and employers (allegedly!). And now that we
all know about it, hardly anyone will go to Las Vegas to live out their sick,
twisted, disgustingly depraved lunatic shenanigans any longer (unless some of
them actually enjoy the masochism of
such humiliation: for these individuals will be pleasantly surprised and
rewarded beyond their wildest dreams! {Allegedly.}), and Vegas will lose all
their business to Atlantic City from now on. (Just think of it: Won’t the magic
of living out one’s wildest corrupt fantasies lose its luster if they must be
performed in New Jersey? When one does stuff like that there, it just makes it
seem commonplace, doesn’t it?)
So thanks, Prince Harry, for ruining it for everyone! You
pampered Royals think you can just do anything you want, don’t you? Even
ruining a great ad campaign isn’t beneath you apparently! Oh, for shame! A lot
of ad people spent a lot of time tricking everyone into coming to Vegas to lose
all their money and behave like reprobates with that ad campaign, and now it
was all for nothing! Happy now? I mean, sure; you get to debase yourself with
excesses and scandalous behavior all the time wherever you want to, but for
most people, there’s only one place where we thought we could do it, and now
that hope is gone forever. And I think that’s just sad.
Here’s the salacious story:
And here’s a commercial from this crafty campaign, tricking
us into thinking we can get away with anything in Las Vegas:
(P.S.: This is just as joke. Vegas does not conspire to photograph
and blackmail its visitors. It only conspires to get them all liquored-up and
trick them into losing all their money gambling.)
