my own private I dunno: résumé | screenplays | fan fiction

in case there isn't enough bullshit in your life

| | comments (1)

If you've ever worked in corporate America, read a press release, participated in a focus group, or otherwise encountered those oddities of wordsmithing that are all about using language to make things less clear rather than actually deploying them to communicate in a useful way, you'll love the Landscape Urbanism Bullshit Generator. Click the "make bullshit" button, and out spouts bullshit phrase like:

"rectify front-end convergence"
"brand integrated partnerships"
"aggregate integrated niches"

Have fun.

Guess I hadn't read this far down before. Pity. It brings to mind Bea Arthur's stint in the Roman bureaucracy in History of the World Part I. I know she was concerned with Philosophy not Business, but surely good bullshit transcends categories?

what cinematic cliches would you eliminate?

Amnesia as a plot point? The slo-mo walk away from an explosion? Bags of groceries with a baguette sticking out of it? Villains who monologue their evil plans? Ticking countdowns?  | answer it »
