The audience's thoughts

An experimental idea for a theater play. The audience sits on stage and the actors are scattered sitting in the audience seats. The spotlight shines on the actors who perform the play about an audience's thoughts during a play, talking out loud, reciting or discussing them with the person sitting next to them. The real audience is on stage and watches what is going in the minds of that imaginary audience which could be them. It be interesting to record the real audience on video and study their reactions. Are they different, perhaps more engaging and forthcoming? Does sitting on stage, the space where actors usually perform, have an effect on audience behavior?

Fired? Your debt is cancelled

What about canceling all debts (credit card, mortgage etc) of any person who loses their job in this economy? Make it law and make it applicable for all people who lost their jobs since September of this year and keep the measure until the recession is officially announced over. Pink slip for debt cancellation. Instead of bailing out companies and banks who may not survive anyway as millions of people lose their jobs, use the money to bring real relief to the people who need it the most.

Chapter 11nd

When it's the government, the lender of last resort, bailing out a big company without asking it to file for Chapter 11 first and re-organize, isn't that the same as putting a patient who has no chance to recover on life support? Direct government bailout of banks and car companies in the US is the equivalent of asking them to file for chapter elevEnd instead. It means the patient stays alive so long as someone doesn't pull the plug. Chapter 11nd means that since no one has the moral right to pull the plug, everyone is praying for a power cut whereby life support goes off and the patient downgrades to Chapter 7nd...

Bar Broadcast

When I'm in a bar and the DJ plays new music I hear for the first time it be nice to somehow know what song it is so I can look it up later. Since most DJs use laptops these days, they could be broadcasting song info using bluetooth and the people in the bar can instantly receive and save the information in their mobile phones.

Investment Banging and Gambling

If you want more bang for your buck gamble it up. The practice is legit, made off first in the US banging and gambling industry which is going down the pipes of disrepute faster than you can say myth or spin. Or faster than even Madoff's wife can get a divorce from him. What else is left to make off? If someone works for the government that person is considered to be a civil servant. Why not call all remaining bankers whose banks were bailed out by the government civil servants too? The irony with civil servant bankers and traders is that their new job status wasn't made up but made off from sitting on a ticking bomb!

Is this fashion??

I don't know maybe it's just me. I saw this shop front in a supposedly upscale lingerie shop. What's the zipper on the face supposed to be? I'm curious to know if people who are into kinky stuff really think this is actually kinky or plain silly. To me it's totally tasteless and in total opposition to the rest of the lingerie they sell in the shop. Whoever put it on display in the front and got paid for it must have been high on drugs or something that day. If not him, then whoever paid him.

3D Pool

Use video projectors on the walls and floor of a pool to turn it into any kind of 3D landscape you want. It will allow you to take a swim anywhere in the world you want or if you like video games you can program it to simulate real-life sea-swim. If you are a tough guy and want to increase your speed to Michael Phelps levels you can put a special close-up version of Jaws and Crocodiles on. The next Olympic medal will soon be yours to claim :)
