Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

They probably think it's funny, but it's actually a pretty good indictment of their greed.

It's hilarious how many famous, greedy, capitalism condemning ballads get co-opted by greedy capitalists as their jams. Money from Pink Floyd especially.

It's almost impossible to insult a capitalist for their greed, they just get new cruel ideas from it. Must be nice to live without the capacity for shame.

I mean, it is kinda.

I'm guessing a 50-some year old reliving their glory days, fully ignorant of the irony or just celebrating their lives asleep to the fact they are working for a shitty industry. But, if I'm honest with myself, I'm always thinking of the worst outcome. If it is an actual self-aware joust at the system from the inside, then that is pretty funny.
