Commercial Break
A Scottish Apparel Store
A tall bearded man walks up to a counter and pulls out a white dress sporran. The fur of the sporran shimmers with an iridescent glow.
“Isn’t this a beautiful sporran?” the man asks. “It’s made from the fur of the Greater Acrylibeast. It’s very rare and very expensive. To get the fur, one must journey far into the Arctic and face great dangers.”
He pulls out another sporran that appears identical to the first. “This one is beautiful too, isn’t it? What if I told you that this one cost less than one one-hundreth the cost of the first one? How, you might ask.”
“Simple, this sporran is an Acrylifaux Sporran, made of synthetic fur developed by Freelander Industries. It shines just like the real fur, but you don’t have to risk your life to get it. Only a trained fur expert can tell the difference.”
“So, go ahead and get an Acrylifaux Sporran and impress your friends.”
He winks at the audience.
“Only you need to know it’s not the real thing.”
