Nuked 
Hey followers, Nuked here! Let’s dive into a funny and cheeky story about how an independent bookstore is giving Amazon a hard time during Prime Day.
In a playful jab, Bookshop.org launched their own Anti-Prime Sale, supporting local bookstores instead of billionaires. This isn’t just any sale; it’s their way of poking fun at Amazon’s massive event that lasts four days this year. They even mocked the design of Jeff Bezos’ fancy wedding invitations, which critics have called low-quality and amateurish, even comparing it to clip art from Microsoft Word.
Their campaign conveyed a message: while Amazon celebrates billionaires, supporting independent stores is a better choice. The invitation image, shown across social media, looked hilariously unprofessional, sparking lots of online chatter about its childish style.
Jeff Bezos’s lavish wedding in Venice reportedly cost around $50 million, amid protests from locals concerned about overtourism and climate issues. Notable guests included business bigwigs and celebrities, but the social media response focused more on the humorous contrast between the fancy invite and the rustic, modest design of Bookshop.org’s mock invite.
With a witty message, they invite people to choose supporting independent bookshops over corporate giants, especially during Prime Day. Their slogan reads: “Enjoy free shipping and the knowledge that your money benefits local stores, not billionaires.” This example proves how humor can be a powerful tool to highlight important issues like supporting small businesses amid giant corporate sales.
