AU:; in which childhood friends from Texas, Leonardo DiCaprio and Raini Rodriguez move to California to both become Hollywood superstars. They wanted to keep their relationship as private as possible but after a heated interview with a TMZ journalist they get married. Unfortunately for the Hollywood power couple TMZ leaks their wedding video which causes Raini so much stress the doctor tells her she only has hours to live on the night of the Academy Awards. Leo decides to cover up her death so it doesn’t take away focus from his achievement. Each year Raini’s dear friend Mariah Carey visits her grave.
me when i was 16 at my first job: oh my god this is so overwhelming i have to do everything correctly and i have to go above and beyond i can’t believe i’m making $7 an hour! i’m here like… 12 hours a week!
me at 24: *sits in the bathroom with the door locked for 30 minutes while the customers are screaming and fist fighting because i’m not there to scan their coupons*
It’s so weird to see people actually accepting the “corporations are people” thing.
Like people saying things like “Pepsi feels bad and apologized”. Pepsi doesn’t “feel” anything, it’s an organization that attempts to make money by selling a product of the same name.
And the Denny’s-style blogs and twitter outlets where “Wendy’s” has a “sassy personality” and picks fights with the other fast food twitters serve to further this illusion. This whole act is being projected by an entire marketing team whose job is to make you think nice thoughts about the product so you’ll buy more.
They aren’t real. It’s all illusion and it’s leading people to think that they are hurting real people when they criticize or resist corporate action.
