So last night, while driving over the Charles in the Woo-mobile, I was thinking...
It should be a federal law that if someone happens to do something ridiculous and get themselves killed, and another person happens to catch it on video tape, than the family of the deceased moron should receive 50% of the profits from the sales and usage of the tape. Sure, you're thinking that I'm a sick twisted little man, but think about the effect it would have on society.
1. Create more jobs in the entertainment industry.
2. Inspire people to "go out with a bang"
3. People's view of death would brighten
I mean, really, you can't get all upset when your great great uncle twice removed dies because he was 115 years old and then on the same day go home and watch primetime television to see someone launch his car off a bridge, into a river, and detonate his trunkful of dynomite. More explosions, more demand for the video, more money for the wife and kids.
Alright, don't take me seriously. I like people. But hey, it's like brainstorming, you know? I'm just trying to solve all the world's problems, so I'm throwing every suggestion I can think of out there.
And my excuse for all of this...I had an incredibly good day thanks to a few key people. I'm feeling very free and happy.
I'm Rick James, bitch.
Enjoy yoself.
