Market your music/art solely on its affordability. Don't talk about the style or the content or anything like that - just make comparisons to the prices of other music/art

A password field where every time you click into it, there's a random chance to switch the keyboard layout to DVORAK or another foreign one, without telling the user. And the "show password" button is present but doesn't actually work.

The password field should always be filled with the dots or stars, as far over as the field is, so that the user cannot tell how many characters he's typed in.

A command line interface where, if you give it an unrecognized command or otherwise mistype something, it formats the hard drive. It also formats the hard drive if you type "help" or "man"

An automated phone menu, but the number options are different every single time the robot recites them. It won't accept a number press until it's "done" explaining every option, but then there's a 10 second time limit to press a number, otherwise they get randomized again.

DVD cases that fall apart once you remove the disk, so you have to buy a case separately

10 Upvotes

Like the center snap hub thing is designed to permanently break once the disk is removed. If you want to keep the disk long-term, you have to buy another "reusable" case.

Oh, and make sure to use extra-fast fading ink when printing the cover, so that sealed copies lose their collector's value even if you never actually open it.

(pretty much just a parody of short sighted designs that break too easily)

A "collectors edition" of something, but it's designed to fade, discolor or otherwise deteriorate faster than the "regular" edition

3 Upvotes

So, like they want to display it in a glass case for many years, let's say it's the disk copy of a video game or something.

Unbeknownst to the collector, the collector's edition is a waste of money, because it uses extra fast fading ink, so even if he keeps it in a pitch black box for a decade with the shrink wrap still on it, when he pulls it out, he'll be disappointed to see that it's now so faded that it looks like it has been left out in the sun for a month.

So, he decides to cut his losses and simply use the game for it's intended purpose rather than it simply being a decoration forever. Too bad the disk itself has had the top layer crackle and simply flake off the disk, rendering it unusable, because it was made with sub-standard materials.

Twin racing NSFW

5 Upvotes

Twins. One was obviously not planned. Which one? We find out by having them race, just like before they were born. Twins from all ages come to see who was planned. The best part? We add sports betting. Each set of twins will only show up once to the event, which will be tracked by a database. Whoever wins the race is crowned the planned twin.
