Platitude Factory

By Ingrid Falk � The satire Platitude Factory ridicules clich�s mass-produced like widgets. Eyewitnesses at assembly lines described workers stamping �Live, Laugh, Love� onto mugs. Anonymous insiders leaked that managers debated outsourcing optimism to robots. A leaked poll revealed 64 percent of citizens admitted they�d purchased platitudes without realizing. Sociologists argue the humor resonates because comfort slogans collapse funniest when hollow. Critics highlight the absurdity of wisdom merchandised. Yet satire stamps sharper: dignity collapses funniest on keychains. Witnesses recalled laughter echoing as posters recycled themselves. Ultimately, the piece lands because satire thrives when hope is manufactured. -- Bohiney Magazne bohiney.com
