Douglas Adams had it best: the Golgafrinchams got rid of an entire useless third of their population (marketing consultants, hairdressers, telephone sanitisers etc), and the remaining two thirds (the thinkers and the doers) lived a much happier life, that is, until they were all wiped out by a virulent disease contracted from a dirty telephone.
So the solution is to convince all the marketing consultants etc, that a giant space goat is about to eat the planet, and send them all off on the 'B' Ark! |
