[ExI] New Wendy's Add?

[Brent Allsop]

Extropians,

My entire life, I've always enjoyed the lemmings all jumping off a cliff 
type ideas in our culture.

The most recent great example I've seen is Wendy's new advertisement 
which can bee seen here:

My feeling that everyone is jumping in the grave, when something so much 
more could be done, is surely the reason for enjoying all these so much.

How many of you have real problems going to the funerals of loved ones, 
where they bury people to rot in the grave, while having these types of 
images going through your head?  I always wish I could just screeeem!

Have any of you ever considered the idea of doing something like wearing 
a black suit, along with a bright pink braided hair set like this guy in 
this commercial, to a funeral, like I have?

Wouldn't it be great if there was some well recognized, something like 
this, we could all do in such cases?  Maybe even something a bit less 
loud than pink hair braids, but still recognizable?  Or must we continue 
to just watch all this insanity in silence?

Anyway, funerals are always hard for me.  How many of you have the same 
problem?  And how many of you try to think of schemes that might be a 
little more socially acceptable than running around screaming and 
slapping everyone at a funeral trying to shake them out of their 
primitive insanity?
