In the Year 2000

Have you seen this story at the NY Times?

It’s a glimpse into the future.

Apparently the cool thing to do in a few years is to get a Happy Meal from your favorite Corporate McEnterprise, who is financially linked to an Entertainment Conglomerate and with that meal you get a free(!) Downloadercom.

This Downloadercom would inevitably be about the size of a cell phone with a screen the size of a postage stamp. The brilliant idea (which I really do think is pretty ingenius) is to string along our kids to continue to ingest the terrible food Corporate McEnterprise dishes out, thank them for the pleasure, and by using WiFi (ever wonder what the Fi stands for?) enter a special code for Entertainment Conglomerate Episode XJ9B-Part2. Part-1 and Part-3 require additional purchases.

Soon you can find your Favorite Copyrighted and Trademarked Characters right on your Downloadercom!

Aren’t you so excited that this technology is coming to light? Who would’ve thunk that after all of these years the marketing string would so eloquently and ingeniously wrap around the neck of our loved ones? Even Grandpa can get into the fun, downloading Ensure Coupons via his Downloadercom and print them via the Printanator, sold seperately (just $29.95!).

Oh, the wonders of WiFi and flash memory. It’s enough to give you chills, isn’t it?

This glimpse into the future was brought to you by your Corporate Masters. We’ll continue our dodging-the-law conversation from Friday first thing tomorrow.

Or what it was, incarnation, three stars.
Delivering signs and dusting from their eyes.
