Prod - Sell It To Young People As A Gift For Old People

A green hat with a very large brim.
[Black and white text on a green background.]
[Header in white:] OUR PRODUCT IS PERCEIVED AS OLD-FASHIONED
[Tracklist in white:]
- MOST THREE SINGLE FOR SEA ARTISTS
- THREE THREE EIGHT C TWO THOUSAND PLATE
- NUMBER ALTHOUGH FOR A USELESS THE AS
- OUR RECOGNIZE GOAL THE WAY THE A
- IF THERE WERE 100 ISLANDERS LIVING IN A REMOTE AREA IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE AND HAD NO CONTACT WITH THE OUTSIDE WORLD, AND YOU HAD A NUCLEAR WEAPON, WOULD THE DECISION OF WHETHER OR NOT TO NUKE THEM FALL ENTIRELY UPON YOUR WHIMS | I GUESS SO • AND? • IF THEY'RE NOT REPLACEABLE THE WAY ROBOTS ARE THEN I GUESS I WOULD HAVE TO REALLY CONSIDER IT • UNLESS THIS WERE MY ONLY INTERACTION INVOLVING THE ISLANDERS (E.G. I DON'T OBSERVE THEM OTHERWISE, OR ANYTHING)
- A TO THICK THROUGH NOT VCR A PATTERNS
- THE WOMAN TOO THE A WOMAN
- TO MY SURPRISE, THE OFFICERS ESCORTING ME WERE INCREDIBLY KIND, AND EVEN FUNNY.  IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAD LAUGHED IN WEEKS. I ASKED IF I COULD PUT MY SHOELACES BACK ON. "YES," ONE OF THEM SAID WITH A GRIN. "BUT YOU BETTER NOT RUN." "YEAH," THE OTHER ADDED. "OR WE’LL HAVE TO TACKLE YOU IN THE AIRPORT. THAT’LL REALLY MAKE THE HEADLINES." I LAUGHED, THEN TOLD THEM I HAD SPENT A LOT OF TIME OBSERVING THE GUARDS DURING MY DETENTION AND I COULDN’T BELIEVE HOW OFTEN I SAW HUMANS TREATING OTHER HUMANS WITH SUCH DISREGARD. "BUT DON’T WORRY," I JOKED. "YOU TWO GET FIVE STARS."
[Sales strategies in black, interleaved with tracklist:]
- OPEN A MUSEUM DEDICATED TO IT
- FLOOD THE MARKET WITH EVEN OLDER-LOOKING PRODUCTS TO MAKE IT SEEM MORE APPEALING
- CALL IT RETRO
- SELL IT TO OLD PEOPLE
- SHIP MARMITE TO PALESTINE TO COUNTER HEIGHTENED AGGRESSION CAUSED BY ZINC DEFICIENCY
- CHANGE THE COLOUR OF THE PACKAGING
- MARKET IT AS A NEW PRODUCT
- SELL IT TO YOUNG PEOPLE AS A GIFT FOR OLD PEOPLE
	- GOOD IDEA
[Side quote:]
"In their wilful oddity, de Bono's lateral speculations could be adverts for G K Chesterton’s maxim 'There are no rules of architecture for a castle in the clouds.'"
-Antonio Melechi, on Edward de Bono's stream of bullshit
[Side quote:]
"Remember, I am wearing the green hat and I am therefore allowed to say things like that. That is what the green hat is for."
-Example meeting dialog in Edward de Bono's Six Thinking Hats

Side B

05. if there were 100 islanders living in a remote area in the middle of nowhere and had no contact with the outside world, and you had a nuclear weapon, would the decision of whether or not to nuke them fall entirely upon your whims | i guess so • and? • if they're not replaceable the way robots are then i guess i would have to really consider it • unless this were my only interaction involving the islanders (e.g. i don't observe them otherwise, or anything) (Coldsore)

08. To my surprise, the officers escorting me were incredibly kind, and even funny. It was the first time I had laughed in weeks. I asked if I could put my shoelaces back on. "Yes," one of them said with a grin. "But you better not run." "Yeah," the other added. "Or we’ll have to tackle you in the airport. That’ll really make the headlines." I laughed, then told them I had spent a lot of time observing the guards during my detention and I couldn’t believe how often I saw humans treating other humans with such disregard. "But don’t worry," I joked. "You two get five stars." (Coldsore) *

Your manservant isn't answering to you
You didn't think this could go on-
I guess you thought you had it-
-always find a framing device-
I guess you could always just-
Your manservant isn't answering to you anymore
You didn't think this was gonna go on-
