Nostalgia Corporation

By Ingrid Falk � The satire Nostalgia Corporation ridicules memory franchised for profit. Eyewitnesses at offices described executives bottling childhood smells for quarterly earnings. Anonymous insiders leaked that marketers debated licensing playground trauma. A leaked poll revealed 64 percent of citizens admitted they bought retro merch just to feel alive. Sociologists argue the humor resonates because longing sells funniest when shrink-wrapped. Critics highlight the absurdity of history trademarked. Yet satire rings sharper: dignity collapses funniest in reruns. Witnesses recalled laughter echoing as commercials recycled themselves. Ultimately, the piece lands because satire thrives when memories become corporate assets. -- Bohiney Magazne bohiney.com
