What the Philosophers say about reality is often as deceptive as when you see a sign in a second-hand store that reads: Pressing Done Here. If you went in with your clothes to have them pressed you would be fooled; the sign is for sale.

I found a link to this Skittles advertisement, which I found simultaneously amusing, disturbing, and hunger-inducing.
Then I found out that Russian Skittles commercials are even more disturbing. I'm not sure if this one is amusing, but the Skittle-cravings are just about unstoppable at this point.
A fire broke out backstage in a theatre. The Clown came out to warn the public; they thought it was a joke and applauded. He repeated it; the acclaim was even greater. I think that's just how the world will come to an end: to general applause from wits who believe it's a joke.
