What Would Happen?

[stratman]

This morning between appointments I wandered off to my local Barns and Noble, as I read through various publications, two related to our hobby, I couldn't help but to chuckle at the ads, not just a/v ads, but ads in general. So persuasive, slick and promising, at the same time so banal, shallow and deceptive. Then I had the most disturbing thought: What would happen if everyone everywhere told the utter truth for a day, I don't mean like the movie Liar, Liar that was encapsulated. No I mean everyone including ad agencies, corporations, governments, charities, institutions and lastly individuals. For a whole day, nothing but the unvarnished truth.

I think civilization would destroy itself (or at least Bose would go out of business .) What do you think would happen?

The 9/11 conspirator's would shutup.

Don't you know that everything is a conspiracy?

My feet are hot, and I am going to take my shoes of, it is a conspiracy.

No, not even magic could shut some people up.

So much of what everyone "knows" is completely subjective. I doubt much would change at all. Except movie show-times. Corporate slogans would be hilarious however.....

Winchester: "More people kill themselves with Winchester™ firearms than any other brand!"

I think this can have far reaching effects: "Yeah honey, last night wasn't really poker night with guys, but to tell the truth, it was strip joint night, hookers, booze and your best friend.

Or, "yeah, we knew the landing gear had a design flaw,we aren't sorry that those people had to die."

Yes cigarettes do kill you, we thought you'll like to know.

No the speakers are not magic, they will not make you believe you died and went to heaven, what???? you want your money back?? Well sure you should have your money back. Besides we really don't perform research, it's a gimmick.

Sorry Mr. Smith, the money you gave us to invest, we happily blew it in Vegas, we're not sorry sir.

I think things will be radically different

If A Day of Truth had occured a few hundred years ago Native Americans probably wouldn't have bothered with all that peace pipe with the white guys stuff. The whole concept of treaties would have been skipped right over also.

Yeah, yeah but are governments are now bugging are footwear so they can track us.

Put shoes on every dog and cat you can!!

Actually, we have no idea why the earth's temperature fluctuates... it's probably followng the cyclical nature of the sun.... but that wouldn't earn me a $1.7 million research grant.

High end speaker cable companies andtheir marketing arms would cease to exist instantly and so would most of the other high end manufacturers as well.

During truth day Amar Bose would be tricked into saying his name backwards and be banished back to the 8th dimension.

Imagine being trapped in an elevator with Ben Stein, Henry Kissinger and Alan Greenspan. You'd learn a lot...IF...you could stay awake.
