George Plant
Genius On-Line Product Catalog (a Parody) - Conclusion
And that's about it, really. We could continue, but you can see that all this was nothing more than the nonsensical ravings of lunatic minds. Except for one thing: What was the point ?ScopeY said it best after he finished reading it:

"I'm not sure I understand what's going on."
It was a parody of the business side of Genius; the kinds of things the company could be thinking about to secure the life of the business. The examples were meant to be absurd and really stupid (although I do think Georgie's Reserve - Genius Happy Fun Ball deserves a second chance). The list was meant to show that what Genius-the-business has to deal with every day is a lot different than what Genius-the-community spends its time doing. We depend on Genius-the-business to provide the platform that allows us to do what we love doing. We get to have fun reading and listening to great music, and showing each other how smart we are.

Here's an analogy that drives the point home. Consider Grand Central Station in New York City. It's a structure built to handle people, and they all have somewhere to go. It's a beautiful facility, but it's pointless without people:Correspondingly, all those people need the infrastructure of GCS to do what they need to do: Genius-the-business works hard to provide us with the tools to do what we love. They get a lot from us, and we really do get quite a lot from them.

The point is, it takes two. Genius-the-community owes Genius-the-business a lot. Without Genius-the-business, we wouldn't be here. Besides, just think of how obnoxious it would be if you actually had to deal with ads like these every time you were here! I want to say a special "thank you" to The_Legacy for his time and talent on the VRE game descriptions. The guy is a bona fide genius. You should go read his stuff. Featured video:
