"Baobei, Pig in the City" (宝贝, 猪在城市)
// BLURB //
What about Hamilton Yokota? No, he’s a Brazilian native with Japanese ancestry. We need somebody more culturally diverse. Somebody fresh. I’m thinking… up-and-coming Korean-born Chinese artist currently living in Japan. Where the heck are we going to find somebody like that? Oh, man, Dan Park would have a field day with this one. Get me a list of candidates ASAP. You said a Korean pig speaking Japanese? No, no, we need a… never-mind, just get me a list. We’ll get the right person. Then we’ll brand this in a smart way. We’ll garner the appeal of everybody. Nobody has expectations for pigs. What’s more attractive than something you expect nothing out exceeding your expectations.
