Somehow I don’t think that this was what the Barenaked Ladies had in mind when they listed off all the things they could and/or would do if they had a million dollars.
The next step in this utterly ridiculous “joke” is to then film a reality television show that exhibits all the crackpots who actually take him up on the offer. Oh. Wait. Maybe he’s making a movie out of it all instead.
But it’s all art for art’s sake, isn’t it? And in that sense, the ridiculous becomes the sublime because to have it any other way would mean the entire system would collapse.
