choice is an illusion



Just watched this video on the near-monopoly that a company you've probably never heard of, Luxottica, has on the eyewear industry. Think like every fucking eyewear brand that you can think of.
Not content with just owning all the top brands of eyewear, they also fully own outlets like Sunglass Hut and OPSM.

If you watched the video, the CEO is one clever but slimy guy. You can just tell he's a genius but he won't hesitate to take advantage of others. It's pretty genius to maintain the illusion of choice by maintaining a huge variety of brands so it's all "free market" and shit. Although it's not like that same shit isn't happening with stuff you'd find at the supermarket. (Although that's significantly less price-fixy or whatever the monopoly equivalent of that is)

Now switching from O.O to :D:

This thing might be as old as the internet, but I only just discovered it. I couldn't stop laughing at some bits.
It's a guy going to a chatroom, initiating cybersex, then progressively ruining it for the other party.
