Yea, in light of the previous joke, it's something of a theme today. But it's my process of grieving - you see, I've had to face a couple instances lately of fun ideas that had to be 'reconcepted' for comfort or budget. It happens.

Or if art pieces were sponsored like ad segments - like a random piece of prettiness to stare at for a few seconds.
