If we bring them back, we need to add googily eyes to them. I know that's not the message that people are trying to send, but how can we resist the temptation?

We can resist anything but temptation.

Someday this will be in a museum of cultural artifacts from this time period. What will the historians say about it?

shitty AI voice that sounds like David Attenborough

The foul, uncultured masses had developed a taste for blood. In their ignorance they had mistaken their benevolent, job creating overseers to be the source of their troubles. With violent fervor they created propaganda espousing their murderous intent, as the piece shown here exemplifies. These horrendous works of art were called memes, pronounced "may-mays", and were spread amongst the mob primarily through mobile communications devices.

That's a true statement but it's also true that in the entirety of human history no society has managed to wrest power away from the rich for more than a few generations. They may lie dormant for a while but they always come back. Self destructive greed is in our nature.

Why didn't they bring it out more often?
