Anthropology plus Bureaucracy equals Satire.

                             Let the Bureaucracy inventions begin!

A return (part 3) to: Anthropology plus Bureaucracy equals Satire.

 

            The symbol of the Anthropology Sports Channel (ASC) in 3-Dimensional imagery, the year is 2189 A.D., reveals a figure of an Australopithecus male standing while looking skyward. The physically unmoving “statue” slowly rotates in a circular pattern. While rotating the Australopithecus dissolves into a Homo erectus, then a Neanderthal representation, followed by a Cro-Magnon, concluding in a Homo Sapien figure. All kept the same position as the original.

            A deep male voice is heard, with a slight echo in the background.

“Let the games begin!”

Suddenly the Homo Sapien moves his arms to catch a falling Earth-like ball. He catches it with both hands then dramatically raises both arms, still holding on to the ball, above his head. After a few moments, the combined voices of many different types of human individuals are heard as one together: “The Anthropology Sports Channel.”

A dissolve occurs.

            A three dimensional image of the traditional Red Stop sign appears- rotating in similar fashion to the ASC symbology. A curved black background sign appears below the red hexagon sign. It reads in very large, white- and moving horizontally- letters: “Warning, to the many bureaucratic members of our audience. The following Anthropology Sports Channel show is an athletic documentary on the beginnings of human social services programs. Please do not be insulted by the science of anthropological research.”

            The end of the warning generates laughter heard. A show mini-event coinciding with many customers watching and laughing from inside the world’s many sporting bars.
