In this time of plague let us remember
that we’re all in this together.
That what unites us is stronger than what
divides us.
That we’ll make our way out of this in one piece,
stronger than before, wiser than we ever thought
possible.
Remember, anything that feels good
is trite, has been done, has been seen,
has been composed a billion times before.
There is no pleasure that doesn’t increase
the risk of disease.
There is no disease to which you’ll say no
because of the price.
If it feels good, you will pay for it.
This message has been brought to you
by your friends at Fill In the Blank.
We’re all bad.
We’re holding your mother
hostage in the basement.
Buy our useless and/or
dangerous product
or she gets it.
Thank you.
