B. U. G. S.

Is anybody else getting tired of sitting down to watch a movie and seeing some logo, then another logo, then another thing that says “A Gooble Picture” and another that says “a Lopside Production,” then an endless set of names, one by one, and, finally, a short mention of the title, some more credits, and on and on?

You have to watch for several minutes before you know whether the movie has started yet.

We live in an age where there are laws to deal with discrimination. There should therefore be a law requiring everyone in Hollywood to follow the same rules with regard to other professionals. For example, before anyone in the movie industry is allowed to sit down to a mean, at home or in a restaurant, he should first be require to see a complete list of everyone who had anything to do with the chair he is about to sit in. This list will, as in Hollywood films, include everybody who had anything to do with the chair.

There will be the name of the retailer, the wholesaler, each subcontractor who produced each part of said chair, the designer of that model must of course have a certain number of seconds to present his logo, as must the person who adapted the chair to mass production.

Out in the woodlands around the world are people who handled the equipment or the elephants who brought one part of the wood in. But plastic chairs or parts of chairs cannot be neglected. Someone in the chem lab developed the type of plastic, but not specifically for chairs, so the people involved in the process of discovering or and designing its use in that particular chair must be named.

Special thanks at in order for some people, of course.

No one will say exactly when the Hollywood personnel are actually allowed to SIT in the chairs. That is left to the artistry of those who made the chair.

After a few minutes, the Hollywooder will realize that he is now free to stop acknowledging everybody who had to do with making the chair and can sit down. At that point, a few hundred people who had to do with each of the utensils, knife, fork, spoons, cups, plates, napkins and so forth must be acknowledged.

There will, of course, be lawsuits about how much time those who made the table and the tablecloth should be assigned.

If the food is being warmed, we could allow a slow, solemn reading of everything on the label and then a listing of everyone involved in each phase of its making. In other cases, some research will be necessary for which, as in the case of Hollywood, the consumer must pay.

And for which the consumer must wait.

But we cannot discriminate in favor of the food and furniture industries. This procedure must be gone through with every product movie people drive, play with, or sleep on.

I do not think it would be long after these laws were enforced that we would be able to just SEE the damned movies we paid for.
