Ideas of the Future

BIC Pens just trying to become a multinational conglomerate, man: just trying to propagate their pens' sales and take over the global pen market in terms of total and complete market saturation, the result of years of tedious academic jargon literature and many a suicide because the people just couldn't take it anymore--they couldn't stand the "constant focus on the pen", "the sales numbers", or the "oversight by upper and middle-management". This was a tragedy precipitated by me and my fellow pen-market disruptors--though in reality we hadn't the slightest idea if what we were trying to accomplish was fraudulent or not. We assembled a pen factory of our own: makeshift, of course--and then we acted like we were the creators of the BIC Pen, especially in China, where there's censorship and stuff, I will not put it lightly. There's state-sponsored general fucking of the body politic; but only if you're Voltaire or something.
