Substitution
An oil CEO wants to switch up the words in an advertisement.
“Algae?! That’s what they’re pushing now? It’s in the commercial?! Stop production on the next advertisement,” Harold Pennington addressed the director of the commercial.
With the understanding of the landscape being fraught with alternative fuels, Pennington reminded himself he stood as the CEO of a major oil corporation.
With that came the consideration of this commercial. He wanted no wind turbines,no solar panels, and definitely no algae.
Penningon stepped onto the set and ripped up the script.
“Our slogan is ‘We Sell Oil.’ Show that in the ad with a a nozzle inserted in a gas guzzler. Goddamn algae.”

Smartystan
The gleam from the streets of Smartystan sparked the brain. Platinum and diamond streets always seemed to drive thought in the city-state-nation. It meant that vehicles could rove over the avenues and boulevards with ease and become not a distraction but a reminder of how clean and well-kept even the alleyways and back lots had been.
