Winston Winthrope the 3rd was handed his mail by his slave butler. In his pile of mail he had a wedding invitation. How nice, he thought.

You are hereby invited to the wedding of Corporation X to The Almighty Dollar on April 20th, 2010

The ceremony shall be performed by the re-animated corpse of Benjamin Franklin, musical performance by P.Diddy (first dance song that will be played is: "It's all about the Benjamins" followed by "mo money, mo problems") Other notable guests include elected officials from your area and a host of corporations hoping to join the Harem of corporations that The Almighty Dollar has thus far wed

"Do you, Corporation X, solemnly swear to take every action conceivable to make money, until bankruptcy or govt takeover?"
"I do"
"And do you, Almighty Dollar, solemnly swear to never be enough, to cause trouble wherever you go, and to secretly be an ally of Micheal Moore?"
"yeah sure, whatever, where's my beer?"

I now pronounce you a soul-less company whose never ending search for profits will never, EVER harm the poor or under-privileged.

May Ferengi spirits smile upon you.
Awoman.

Nine Inch Nails:Head Like A Hole
God money, I'll do anything for you
God money, just tell me what you want me to
God money, nail me up against the wall
God money, don't want everything he wants it all

No, you can't take it
No, you can't take it
No, you can't take that away from me
No, you can't take it
No, you can't take it
No, you can't take that away from me

Head like a hole
Black as your soul
I'd rather die than give you control
Head like a hole
Black as your soul
I'd rather die than give you control

Bow down before the one you serve
You're going to get what you deserve
Bow down before the one you serve
You're going to get what you deserve

God money's not looking for the cure
God money's not concerned about the sick among the pure
God money let's go dancing on the backs of the bruised
God money's not one to choose

Although a Classic, Closer by NIN does not fit the theme. :)

It isn't funny to me not because of the points it makes but because it's stupid and too tame.

I don't know. It's not my site. I don't like the v.o., either. Say, I have the username and password to the site. Hmmm....

Good effort, and taking half a character name from 'Trading Places' is cute, but it's just not that funny; even sane, friendly companies are out to make money. And the "awoman" part really clangs. I don't think you're going to die from an overdose of high-fives anytime soon.

Ha, that was implying a bit much, wasn't it. I just meant that you're right, not a lot of people will find this funny.

I got what you were doing with "awoman." Still clanged. Sorry.

How did you conclude there was a lack of reaction? And how does someone doing something bad warrant you doing something bad too?

Don't listen to 'em. Continue posting parody and satire. You and I both liked it. That's enough to justify continuing.

He's a criminally underrated musician, probably because he deals in parody. The funny thing is, I find most of his parodies, especially his style parodies, to be better than the source material that inspired them, and infinitely more listenable.

As Devo said upon hearing "Dare to be Stupid", "He out Devo'd, Devo". And he's repeated that quality with other bands' names inserted in that sentence.

Some of his non-parody work is some of his best, in my opinion.

I'm waiting for the perfect steve-o post to pop a link to "Albuquerque" just because a rambling "Aw Hells Yeah!" post deserves a reply that's equally rambling, but at least funny.
