I saw a lot of comments saying "Prime Day" was really "Prime Marketing Day". Seems that was the case.

Prime Day is essentially a farce at this point, giving customers really great prices on only their own products like the Fire Tablet and Echo, which allow the customer to easily spend more on Amazon. I bet they would love it to be like Singles Day on Alibaba but all the marketing in the world can only help it along so fast.

Can confirm. I spotted a plane towing an Amazon banner over my city on Prime day.

I can't figure it out, is this absurdist sarcasm or just factual reporting of real events?

They've had semi trailers around here for a few months now.
