The dark side of Everybody’s Free (to wear sunscreen)...you need a sense of humor
beingzoe 8 months ago | Subscribe Creative Endeavors Gibber-gabber

If you don’t like black comedy don’t watch the video above.

If the feel-goodery of my previous post, Reminded (again) of the beauty of life…Everybody’s Free was just too much for you to handle, this skewed, stilted, and cynical interpretation of the Baz Luhrmann song Everybody’s Free to Wear Sunscreen by John Safran will have you laughing (and cringing).

One of my favorite quotes from this piece is…

Shoplift as often as you can. Shopping centers factor shoplifting into their prices, so if you don’t do it, it’s like their getting money for free.

Or maybe…

Remember you can wear your underwear four times without washing. Forwards. Backwards. Inside-out forwards. Inside-out backwards.

And this video is so dang cynical I don’t have any compunction about letting you know that we sell sunscreen in the trading post store, for industrial/organizational needs we have the “SunX line of sun screen”: and the individual/outdoor adventurer line of Beyond Coastal sunscreen and skin care.

Always wear sunscreen, but only if it has that coconut oil that gives you cancer, and smoke Winnie Blues.

About posting to community blogs

Post anything. Talk about work, life, or play. Get and give advice and tips. This is a trading post so feel free to promote yourself, projects, or your business (just don't spam!).

You need a SPOT to post new discussions on the community blog and comment on other people's posts.

Some folks call it a blog, a forum, or questions and answers. Trader Dan is old fashioned and thinks of it as folks talking and having a good time.

The only real rules are NO SPAM, don't be rude, and indicate if your post is NSFW. These things tend to peeve Trader Dan no end. Promoting yourself is okay if it is meaningful to the community, but limit yourself or you will be deleted. Controversy is okay, but hate, flaming, and jerks are not.
