N!xpired

or
N!xau you see him, N!xau you don'tN!xau (pronounced N-dow, with a click in the middle), the African Bushman who was launched to fame in the 1980 film The Gods Must Be Crazy, has died of natural causes at the approximate age of 59. Even he didn't know how old he was. In the film, N!xau is hit by a Coke bottle that falls from the sky, and he assumes it has been dropped by the gods and must be returned to them. From this simple concept came the then-highest grossing foreign film of all time. For the first film, N!xau was paid $300, which he allowed to blow away because he didn't understand the concept of paper money. But the Hollywood machine quickly corrupted him and he demanded $800,000 (Namibian) to build a house, plus a percentage of the back end and merchandising rights to appear in the sequel. Attempts to bring the story to network television were thwarted when test audiences did not respond well to his native language of clicks and sounds. However his unintelligibility did gain him consideration for his own Osbournes-esque reality show. He had suffered from tuberculosis, and was unable to stage a comeback in I'm a Celebrity, Now Get Me Out of Here the role instead going to Kathy Griffin.

They will see that as someone who only owns one or two expensive handbags and want everyone to know they can afford to have a couple, but can't afford to own enough of them to be confident enough to remove the giant branding.
