A pretty girl is sitting at the bar at the counter. Four men enter the bar.

The first one sits down and speaks loudly into the void in front of himself:

- I am a programmer. I make artificial intelligence systems, will soon move to Silicon Valley to build a Facebook killer. I have an expensive car. I am good in bed and respectful of women all over the world. Who wants to come with me?

The girl ignores him because it was a display advertisement.

The second sits down:

- Hello! I have a Mercedes, a loft in New York City center, and a collection of rare jazz on vinyl.

I know that girls like you love that. Come to me?

She ignores him. That was a targeted ad.

The third sits down:

- Girl, you know the joke about three knitting needles and a ring? So,

Once Bob, John, and Rick meet Lana…

The girl sits aside in silence. It was terrible content marketing.

The last one is left:

- Hello! May I ask you a question?

- Ask.

- Why did you turn these three off?

- Because I am the administrator of this bar and count the leftovers.

- Do you count manually?

- Yes. How else?

- But there is an application to count automatically. Want me to show you?

Then they got married. This is real marketing.
