FUN

The Fun Theory

This site is dedicated to the thought that something as simple as fun is the easiest way to change people’s behaviour for the better. Be it for yourself, for the environment, or something entirely different, just so long as it’s change for the better.

the first group of trash bin appreciators looked like they were using sign language so one of those deaf jerks couldn't enjoy this thing and will no doubt go on littering and probably get fat by continuing to use the escalator too

you deaf pricks make me sick

Some of this would be abused (like putting other stuff than glass into the recycle arcade machine) or would just be annoying over time (piano staircase) but i like the general approach a lot.

Agreed. Being deaf has got to be the most stupid life choice anyone could ever make

No he liked them, that's why he cut off his ear so he could turn into one, he just never got around to taking the other one off.

Shouldn't have said anything. Thought you meant it as a joke & laughed.

From the Birgitte Philippides comments:

THE THING I HATE MOST ABOUT ADVERTISING IS THAT IT ATTRACTS ALL THE BRIGHT, CREATIVE AND AMBITIOUS YOUNG PEOPLE, LEAVING US MAINLY WITH THE SLOW AND SELF-OBSESSED TO BECOME OUR ARTISTS.

I think you're thinking of Vincent Van Gogh. Beethoven is the red colored table vegetable which is well known for being a rich source of the element boron, which plays an important role in the production of human sex hormones.

I think you mean the "Blood Clot Orange". They were INVENTED by Beethoven. Lots of people make that mistake. They're wonderful.

I was all riled up about you insulting deaf people. But I guess it's okay since they can't see what we're saying.

Since when are atonal messes considered 'fun'?

They were research pieces. If anything, the results supported the hypothesis - suggesting a successful concept.

It's only successful in the short term. It's something new and different, arousing curiosity that will, after time and exposure, fade to apathy and discord.

Never overestimate the human attention span.

If all stairs were keyboards and all trash bins made sounds, no one would use them any more than they do now. It's not fun that makes people use them... it's novelty. If this became the norm, people would go back to using the escalator and throwing their trash on the ground. Particularly just to avoid the noise pollution.

I think this saying can be applied to alot of situations. I whole-heartedly agree that the best way to get something done is to influence someone with a nice shiny new light or exciting sound.

I resent that remark!

I'm definitely a soulless prick but I'm also most definitely capable of enjoying things... like, shooting people in the face or being on the receiving end of a BJ (from a female who is of age and is at least moderately attractive... somewhat attractive... ok fine I'd probably accept and enjoy one from a one-armed midget with Parkinsons named Jean-Bob; ya happy now?).

Dr. Benway is just being a realist. I guess he stepped a bit too far towards cynicism and kicked sand into your vag on the way.
