    1. @bombledmonkApr 2020· in “The Weirdly Enduring Appeal of Weird Al Yankovic”

      I'm surprised the corporate culture parody song Mission Statement didn't come up. Every person who's ever been in a corporation should watch. this video

    2. @csoursNov 2017· in “Can Ford Turn Itself into a Tech Company?”

      > Instead, I heard the Ford Motor Company described as a “mobility solutions provider” that engages in “multimodal journey planning.” People spoke about “whiteboarding” and “blue-skying” big ideas. I watched a video that described Ford’s efforts to build a “holistic, organic, interconnected system powered by a transportation operating system.” "Weird Al" Yankovic - Mission Statement: this video

    3. @framebitAug 2018· in “Ask HN: What buzzwords or expressions do you dislike the most?”

      - Cognitive - Solutioning - Learning as a noun, as in "these are some good learnings" - Most things mentioned in Weird Al's brilliant lampoon of Judy Blue Eyes using corporate-speak: this video

      Oh my god, I did not know that Poe's law applied to corporate marketing now. I could not distinguish this from a parody song like Weird Al Yankovic's - "Mission Statement" [1] [1] this video
