    Scene from a US classroom made up of high school seniors:

    “Now class, you’re all about to get ready to head out in the world, most of you are 18 or soon will be, and you’ll be adults! So today in this class we’re going to discuss some serious topics (that are still approved by the administrators!) Isn’t that fun? OK, it’s an open discussion but I’ll lead: what’s your favorite color? You can pick any one you want since you’re practically adults! But before we get into the discussion, let me just take a sip of my Lipton® Diet Green Tea Pineapple Mango. It’s so refreshing! This is what I’m having today, but tomorrow I’m going to have my favorite: Lipton® White Tea Raspberry! Isn’t being an adult fun! Now, let’s all have a safe discussion the shareholders will just love!”

    Oh just take the blue pill Neo… the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. It’s not like you were ever going to truly rebel. You just pretend to do that on the internet to make yourself feel better.
