Subliminal Messages
I propose a subliminal message competition. The winner gets a shiny new pair of spectacles, carefully crafted to match your very eyes by Dr. Brown himself. The loser gets nothing. The worst subliminal messager may even be banned from Chris’s Tomato Patch, so think carefully about whether that could happen to you before you enter. There’s no guarantee that banning will take place, though; it will all depend on how bad that one is. There’s always the possibility that the worst one will just be told that they lost, without any tomato implications whatsoever.
We make no promises, though.
If the competition goes well, we’ll all have a huge collection of subliminal messages in our collections from all the entries. With the subliminal power behind those messages, we’ll be able to essentially take over the world. Very little will be outside our grasp.
At that point I think we should become mad with power. Sure, we can enjoy the power for a few years, but after that, what’s there left to do with it? I think if we don’t go mad with power, we’ll just become bored. We might also leave future historians with a confusing plotline to try to resolve: why did we not go mad with power like so many others before us?
I don’t want to get into all of that. Once we’re rich with subliminal messages, we must go mad with power. Whether we completely lose our minds altogether and become crazy vegetables sustained only through the power of Chris’s tomatoes, or whether we just become a little eccentric and without any sense of proportion will be left as an exercise for the reader. Maybe a little of both? I guess we have a few years before we need to decide, and there’s no reason to rush into these decisions hastily.
I seem to be rambling on. Maybe I’m a little mad with power already. How cool would that be? But get your subliminal submissions sent in as soon as possible, please. I’m looking forward to running the world, and want to get started ASAP.
