Is that domain name taken, isnt.it? One could sign up for an e-mail address, like its.john@isnt.it.
Picture a curated help in acquiring the skills to brave a global communications society. For people who say sorry when you step on their toes. People who dress impeccably every day in Oxford shoes, a three-piece suit, and a bowler hat.
There must be a market for that. I suggest that the Spotlight Verlag do some market research.
Written, of course, in the postcolonial vernacular of agency and subalterity. Cannibals eating whites. Whites eating all kinds of things. No cliché spared, no sensitivity non-offendend.
A glorious, academic masterpiece.
A squid named Bristol Myers. In the grand tradition of Paul the Octopus (RIP), Bristol Myers, Squid, would entertain people the world over just because of his name. If he learns to do nifty tricks, that’s a bonus.
For the reductionist-positivist science nerd in all of us. Can’t believe it took me so long to think of that one…
William Shatner impersonators. A constant soundtrack of Shania Twain and Bryan Adams. Celine Dion would obviously move her show here. Comedy performances by Mike Myers. A dance show featuring Mounties in dress uniform. Paul Gross of course sings at the grand opening. And a part of the hotel would have signage only in French.
How has no one thought of this yet? Steve Wynn, Donald Trump; somebody: call me!
Some actors and actresses just have an uncanny resemblance. So why are people who are supposed to play sisters, brothers, or other family members always cast so randomly?
Here’s what there should be; a database that matches people that could play family members. So we can all suspend disbelief a little bit easier in the future.
A few pointers to begin with:
Tentatively titled “From Tuck-son to Mitchigan and R-Kansas: How to Get It Right Instead.”
This, judging from a nonscientific study of international news media, is direly needed.
A society for the protection of old highways called the Autobahn Society.
Yes, this is merely a bad pun on the Audubon Society, but at least I’m not alone.
If you’re anything like me, you are confronted with too many choices. Especially when buying stuff. All of these choices involve some amount of uneasiness, annoyance, or just plain confusion.
So wouldn’t it be great if there was a website that gave you a choice list, divided in categories of what you want to buy (a laptop, a car, a phone, a TV, a refrigerator, clothes, luggage, shampoo, etc.) and gave you just a handful of well researched choices of quality stuff?
Less is more. Microsoft may sell Bing as the decision maker, but in reality it doesn’t decide anything. If anything, it gives you more choices. Not that Google is any better…
So, can’t someone save us all a lot of time and aggravation and make sure we buy something that’s good enough without worrying about all the extra bells and whistles that we don’t need anyway?
The dream of smell-averse significant others the world over: A garlic pill that tastes nothing like garlic but makes you smell like it in unison with your spouse. Crisis avoided.
