It's not so much about slaughtering the elephant as it is exploitation of the villagers to promote his company.
It's like he's saying to them "Fine. I'll help you. I'll get rid of this elephant and save your crops and even feed you for a day or two, but you will have to wear my hats when you slaughter it".
If this is more a philanthropic gesture, are the hats necessary? Should Bill Gates require every kid who is saved from malaria wear Microsoft t-shirts?
- dpcan 16y agoReally? You think that's how it went down? Isn't it more likely that he handed out the hats as a nice gesture to the locals, and he had no idea those same people would soon attack the dead carcass and start handing out its flesh?
- stellar678 16y agoYeah, well somebody definitely made the editing decision to include that nice shiny, well-framed shot of the guy wearing a GoDaddy hat. So whether the decision came before or after, they seem to be happy about it...
