| Commercial #2 - *SOCIAL STAGNATION* ANNOUNCER. Bored with the same old board games? Well, step into the nineties with �Social Stagnation,� the board game for the politically correct! The object of the game is to collect enough Media Hype Chips and Congressional Lobby Points to virtually stop anything from happening! If you can bring the country to a grinding halt, you�ve reached� Social Stagnation! But watch what you say, if you offend even the smallest special interest group, it�s back to square one! HUSBAND. Okay, this one�s for three media chips. �Who buys a toupee?� WIFE. The follically challenged? SON. The differently haired? HUSBAND. You�re both right! SON. Okay Dad, you need this one to senselessly monopolize network broadcast time. �What should you do instead of �training your dog?�� HUSBAND. That�s easy! Respectfully empower your animal companion to make cognitive choices! SON. Sorry, Dad. You were on the right track, but you had to use twice as many meaningless words. HUSBAND. Oh, darn! WIFE. Okay, Cindy, your turn. Tell me the last four things you do in an average day. DAUGHTER. First I signify my voluntary affection to my significant adult companions by by giving them a goodnight kiss, while still respecting their personal space boundaries, then I perform my dental hygiene ritual, then I say my prayers and go to bed. ANNOUNCER. Oops! Did you say �prayers?� Move back twenty spaces! Yes it�s fun for the whole family, with Social Stagnation! And remember, it�s not just a board game� it�s a two-dimensional recreational pastime! |
