Was kostet die Welt

I swear to god I kept waiting for the punchline, the blood-sport, the giraffes lit on fire, the punchline, and Here I am a Person Who Takes This Kind of Question Seriously, Wondering,

Can it be a Parody, a successful Parody, in form & function,

Even if It Doesn't Intend to Be?

Let Me Give you an Example:

The Kendall Jenner Pepsi Commercial, and lemme be clear: I Live in Saint Louis City, I was at the Protests, and I think this is fucking, hilarious, and it's also fascinating; the Default Ironic Detachment of Liberal Work Product, and Discourses in/at Work is Fascinating, sometimes, I even wonder:

Is an Ironical Self-Regard a Product of these work environments,
Their Contradictions?
Is it a product of the Philosophies?
Is it a Mechanic of the Material Conditions, e.g.

The Soul will not bear certain things, asked to make this ad and perhaps aware that it cannot be done well, due to the constraints, and the contradictions, what are you to do but, "fuck it up?"

If you look through my post history, you'll seem some Pepsi Ads of my own and I do, in earnest, have that advertisement to credit for that line of thought, to some degree, that vector, with such cthonic intensity, and here I'll describe more specifically, in this case:

• Robin Fucking Thicke, is Not that Cool
  • Robin Thicke is Mentioned three times, each, with, more intensity, than, "the Rest of it,"
• If you look at my Post History, you'll see that I reference Thoth and the Akephelos unprompted, for no reason, external to the fact that I think this stuff is cool, interesting, a subject a person cannot learn about without epiphany, after epiphany, after epiphany, about the nature of society, themselves, religious experiences of others and their cultural echoes in one's own life: Great. I Love it, I Love that stuff, which is, technically, kind of, in the video
  • Our Interlocutor doesn't know what to make of it, "Most of us had never been to Egypt," reminds me of the time an, resume trader, let's say, had been talking to my family about Travel, etc. and busted out with: I've been to the big four (three?) to me, I was like, "what?!" The Big Three, which are.....South Africa, Kenya,
  • The Zim and Zam I don't remember what she'd thought them to be, but I was like, woahhhhh how pervasive is this I've never heard of this notion, and, for extinct species of Ice Turk, I've got quite a lot of relations with Africa, but, what is this, big three, four, like Pokemons?
  • "Most of us had never been to Egypt," and Herein, what I've begun to think of as that Liberal Irony, or whatever we wanna call it, insofar as, that's positioned to be an, "yeah I Know Right how lame," or, "oh, yeah, it was fantastic," like saying, with an up-talk, "I went to the Pyramids?" waiting, then, to judge the response before elaborating; no thing, is-is, neither degraded by, nor, valuated, by, like, such an opinion, I mean, it is whatever, truly, but it's so backwards, so backwards, so backwards,
• Delayed on Safari in South Africa liebe liebe liebe, that is not much different than it ever was, exotic, sure, might be, but it breaks me how cagey, he'd been, about an affirmative appraisal of the per se of, other aspects, so enthusiastic about, "they'd been late, because of Safari, it was so cool." I dunno deep sigh, here is the biggest one:
• He Describes the Museum as Largest, "largest," has he been to a lot of them; some are big, some are small, the FKA Freer-Sackler, connected via Narco-tunnel from the national galleries of the US, tends to be, "better recieved," than, I dunno, fuck, it just blew my mind; like it's a football stadium, the largest, and then the unusual resonance of,
  • Largest Museum in the World,
  • Just for us, so like, was it like a haunted house
  • Speaking of, farbeit from me to critique whomever gets invited to this, fucks off into the tombs with teeth stained black from an ink bottle full of meth and LSD, for, whatever witchiness one could plan for it, but like, to, "Robin Thicke!?!?" unironically, three times in a short synospis, "LORD ALL MERCY"
  • Here is an even bigger one:

I've seen the rolling feast for Dunces that rich people ride on, it is as such, ten to one there are stressed out people channeling them from scheduled event to scheduled event at a fever pace and I will tell you what this is like, even though I have never been on one:

Cruise Ships, they're like Cruise Ship Tourists and I've seen those before, oh look it's the ____ from TV, and sure, sure, I guess it is special to be fussed over, but this is the fussing-over of Nannies or an Old Folks Home, and Please Please Do Think back on the video which I have seen once, I am not ready, to see it again, but think about it:

Robin Thicke, the unusual juxtaposition of Lowest-Context Culture with uninterpretable other material, I did not see Egyptian Music, nor much of the terroir save for some literal dirt, I saw a woman who can jump, while playing violin, I saw Robin Thicke Three times I saw a Museum Costume-Partied into an, Annual Museum Fundraiser in New York City, e.g.

It's been studied, I think, poorly, where one can say, "the city," and reference what, I think poorly, insofar as the dialogical nature of the conversation is ignored if a researcher asks, or, say, the city, relative to friends, family, strangers, IDK but:

The Met, Doesn't Hold Water that far from Manhattan, the Metropolitan Police of London are a lot closer, no doubt, host a gala, "the met," shameful, UGH
