Hym "Step 4: DEFLECT TO KIDS. This single men crisis can only be solved by ignoring the single men crisis entirely and breeding new boys who will hypothetically be both not single and not in crisis! Shit! I had that one ready in the abstract but then I forgot. It was supposed to be #3 but then I forgot and then I replaced it with the new step 3 and THIS ONE was integral. God damnit! I hate having to retcon things back in like this. Deflect to kids. We need to breed more fat-cocks. That's the solution."

Get the Deflectal mug.When a powerful person, company, or institution deliberately floods the internet with unrelated but highly searchable content in order to bury or “deflect” attention from an embarrassing rumor, scandal, or conspiracy.
The move usually involves releasing something with the exact same keyword as the damaging story, so when people Google it, they get the official, harmless version instead of the scandal.
Examples:
• People joked that Disney named the movie Frozen so that when you search “Disney Frozen,” you get the animated princess and not stories about Walt Disney’s frozen head.
• Rumors spread that Beyoncé had a year-long affair with her bodyguard; not long after, she dropped a song called Bodyguard.
• Gross gossip about Dubai “chocolate porta-potties” parties started circulating, then suddenly “Dubai Chocolate” became a big marketing push.
