I've noticed a lot of corporate ghosting in the media since President Obama is nearing the end of his term. The anchors used to be more diverse and now they have returned to mostly white men. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted!

Corporate Tortograph Theory

Corporate Tortograph Theory states that in the world of late-stage capitalism, the human impulse for creativity has been channeled so exclusively towards marketing that almost any absurd collection of words, names, or syllables is likely to coenside with a real-world entity, person, or organization of some sort, often in the corporate sphere.
“Jesse, I typed “Gortco” into Google and came up with a page for a random Norwegian company… just another proof for Corporate Tortograph Theory.”

The Walt Disney Corporation

A money-hungry corporation that stopped making good original content years ago and almost exclusively makes shitty live-action remakes of the movies from their glory days, with the exception of a few poorly written sequels of the few tolerable movies they’ve created in the past ten years.

corporate trivia

Local chains of trivia hosting whose most common venues are sports pubs or chain restaurants. May also include non-chain restaurants. Format is broken into short rounds, with frequent breaks to make the trivia seem longer without writing lots of questions. Instead of giving the whole night or category a theme, each question is random to provide maximum generic appeal. The host is picked not for their interesting question writing skills, but for their radio-style personality.
I spent 2 hours at a corporate trivia last night and had to drink 4 drinks out of boredom while our annoying trivia host individually graded one question at a time, written on their logo'd trivia notepads. Waste of time and paper.
