We have long been cursed. None knew the answer to that eternal question: "Who am I?" But I have discovered a cure!
First you must watch some TV. Watch it like it's supposed to be watched i.e., the advertisements count.
You are now a product. Congratulations! There is a company out there selling your attention wholesale.
Now you call them and ask them what they are selling. Good luck!

Why? They tell us what they're selling. Happiness. Truth. America. Great big fucking piles of pills, just like Grandma used to make. Ask yourself this simple question: Am I better off with all this stuff, or would I rather live in Mali? That's right. You have to choose between TOO MUCH, and NOT ENOUGH, and TOO MUCH IS
ALWAYS BETTER THAN NOT ENOUGH.
Hi! How can I help you today?
I don't really want to be helped, I'm just here because my parents dragged me here.
Oh, we get that a lot, hon. Don't worry, we'll find something that fits.
No, you don't understand, I'm not interested in buying one of your identities.
I hear you! And we'd never force you to buy anything against your will, just take a look around! Get some ideas. Maybe you'd like to try on some of this 90's grunge?
Ugh, plaid?
Very popular with the hipsters right now...
I'd rather get shot.
In that case, maybe something from our goth collection? We have classic 80s, 90s revival, and industrial?
Yeah, no.
Maybe something a little more popular?
What, like your bullshit preppie cheerleader section?
Yeah, probably not, huh.
You just don't get it. I don't care what I look like, I don't care what other people think about me, and I don't want to be in one of your stupid fucking boxes. I want to be an independent thinker, a romantic anarchist with enough sense to know that anarchy doesn't really work but too much anger to sit well in the system! I want be pretty in an unconventional way and make friends that care about things but don't really know how to change them so we all sit around talking about how to make the world a better place, and maybe we make a little impact before we get all old and gross like our parents.
Perfect! We have an independent anarcho-realist right over here!
I said I didn't -- oh, wait, that actually fits pretty well.
Do you want it in the pink or the green?
Yeowch. Nicely done, there.
QG wins the thread.
That was really good.
