Business Wizard 2.0
Boredom can bring about many things.
Boredom, a wizard cloak, a pointy hat and a camera can bring about many things as well.
Those things may not always be very good. Point and case, BUSINESS WIZARD 2.0!!
Yes, I resurrected Business Wizard. This time armed with a copy of the Financial Times. XD
Business Wizard, being part of a business, is sometimes required to give presentations to the board members. Here he is demonstrating how pointy hats and wands relate to productivity.
Sometimes his co-workers are not up to scratch. When an underling makes a ridiculous suggestion, Business Wizard goes all Malcolm Tucker on their ass.
"NO YOU FUCKING CAN'T!!!"
Ah, that was fun... Or was it?
Whenever my brothers and I get together in an evening and talk about ideas that might be amusing, the results are often... disturbing. One idea that has become a theme recently is a super-hero scenario where all the powers result in some sort of detriment. The tag line would be "You don't get a super power without paying the price." The better the power, the worst the effect on the rest of you. For example, a pointless power like Lazar pointer eyes would result in nose bleeds. But an awesome power like telekinesis would result in full body paralysis.
Mind reading? You go blind.
Airokinesis (controlling the air)? No legs for you.
Hydrokinesis (controlling water)? Broken liver.
Want to control fire? Well, now you can't control your bladder.
Precognition? You get to be a narcoleptic.
And so on and so forth. We eventually had to stop when I feared it would actually be incredibly offensive to people with disabilities. Which began an argument as to weather it was offensive or not. On the plus side, there's the general problem 'normal people with super power' things tend to get which is that once you've established the powers and the characters are all used to them and have a way of dealing with it... What do you do? I think that was Heroes' downfall - it had no direction after a while. Also, the powers limitations don't tend to get well defined.
I've always like the idea of making something with 'super heroes who are burdens of the state'. What do you think? Insensitive or a good idea?
At least it's not as obviously offensive as my idea for a sitcom about Yahweh, Odin and Krishna sharing a flat in Leeds. (With Yahweh going to see a psychiatrist who happens to be Buddha). XD
I got hold of the Analects of Confucius, but as he is constantly referred to as 'The Master' I am always laughing at it. D: I don't think that's the idea behind it, some how...
