fractal marketing

Fractal marketing is the process by which a product or service is promoted through modern electronic media and is subsequently picked up and scattered by potential consumers.

Whereas viral marketing presupposes that a consumer is infected with the intended message, fractal marketing reflects that the consumer modifies the message: it's still part of the snowflake's pattern, just a unique piece of it.
An example of fractal marketing would be Apple's Switch campaign of 2002 and Ellen Feiss's subsequently marketed web identity. They are affiliated, they are part of the same pattern, but this outcome could not be predicted by Apple.

meat-market

A place of gathering where males and females engage in openly lewd and lascivious behavior under the influence of alcohol. So called because of the over exposure of female flesh present and the ubiquitous desire by the males to engage in sexual intercourse with them. Meat-markets can be easily discerned by the whorish style of dress present on the females and the abundance of white hats on the males. See The Royal and white hat.
