Corporate Persons are Jerks.

1. Very funny!

But I'm a bit concerned that calling a certain group of people jerks might make you open to charges of racism. There may be a backlash.

2. Maybe you are right. A lot of Du-ers seem to be racist against Corporations

4. maybe some have some truth to them

but sweeping generalizations are usually a poor choice.

8. Sweeping generalizations about corporate people?

Sweeping generalizations against imaginary people? In a political satire cartoon? Good god, get a sense of humor and an ounce of perspective!

5. the aetna one is inaccurate; cancer hurts aetna's profits

perhaps it should say something like, "i promised to help out when you got sick but my wealth is more important than your cancer!"

on the other hand, there's a reason i'm not a cartoonist.


very funny concept!
:rofl:

7. That's an insult to jerks.

Who will dis you as a by product of their naturally bad attitudes, where as corporate persons understand being a jerk is wrong, but willing to be what it takes for money. There is no room for the corporate model in the future of a society driven by the concept of fairness, though they see themselves as the only thing real or necessary. Toxic and narcissistic are in my mind as more fitting terms as well as a lethal combination,tyvm.

The gaseous oil exec was awesome!

9. Well

I work for a Not For Profit Corporation. How does that fit into your analysis? We pay taxes, but aren't allowed to sell stock or make profits.

How would a society driven by the concept of "fairness" be run, and who would decide what is "fair?" How would the laws be different from the ones we currently live under?

Where are the angles that are going to run this society for you?

10. Don't take my word for it.

Catch a documentary called 'The Corporation', and get back to me. I'd also suggest that the rule of law the citizenry has had so much faith in has been abandoned to favor the rulers of apparent order.
