creating fake products revealing the ostensible absurdity of capitalistic variation?  If we hadn't invented the lithium ion battery a gas powered vibrator an acceptable concession for many. We're already burning it and worse elsewhere to energize your battery there and with a lot of loss between so environmental concerns aren't as much at issue as the desire to keep exhaust out of our intimate moments. Parody is funny, but a form masking the pain of the content, often. But Pippa was invited on Merv Griffith's and Carson's - did you know? - and so its an ostensibly popular form, our self-mockery.

Yesterday's Priests and Painters, creators of metaphysical interfaces, to today's digital corpus artists invested in Alien Abduction, beamed to the sky, hypnotized to recall, their fleshy meat bags generally stuck with probes, investigating "subjectively real memories of being taken secretly against one's will by apparently nonhuman entities."  According to Wikipedia. There's some complex point to be made here about our artists/priest/app-devs/conspiracists and networking us like an IT department to whatever etheric plane choosen. What's the difference between a dark theater and an alien abduction beside the cylindrical insert? "The contents of the abduction narrative often seem to vary with the home culture of the alleged abductee.^"
