Silly Conspiracies from Dumb Decisions Thread

[Infusions]

I was looking up Tangled and was surprised to see it had made so much money despite the awful marketing. And then I came up with a joke:

Maybe Disney purposely made the marketing SO BAD, that whenever someone had seen it and enjoyed it, they would always tell the person, "NO IT'S NOT LIKE THE TRAILER AT ALL IT'S REALLY GOOD", and then the person wouldn't be able to build a solid opinion of whether or not something like that interested them because they wouldn't have proper footage to see it based on so they would HAVE to see the movie out of curiosity because their friend told them to!

As opposed to had it been a trailer about the fairytale, people could have built an opinion, "EH I'M JUST NOT TOO INTO DISNEY MOVIES BUT THANKS". It was like word-of-mouth times ten.


Have any other silly theories from dumb decisions?

After generations of working in New York’s garment district, wool found it’s way into the dna of certain members of the populous. City officials fearing they wouldn’t be able to keep the wraps on this secret much longer, hired a brash young troubleshooter named Jim Henson.

His solution was to persuade the most heavily affected men and animals to move to a specially zoned district known as Sesame Street.

A documentary on this neighborhood was aired on tv, but they were so cute it was mistaken for a childrens educational program. Henson jumped on this opportunity and continued the documentary as their new cover.

So now if anyone manages to find their way into that section of town they think they are in the middle of a tv show being filmed.

Edit:
Oops!
I lost track of the “dumb decisions” part as I was working on my “silly conspiracies.”
I started with a story about how sports demanded more records be broken to get higher ratings, so they wanted to replace athletes with animated characters. In order to do that they needed to blur the lines between reality and cartons, so that’s why Cartoon Network started airing live action shows.

But during a rewrite I thought it would be funner to do it about muppets. And I think it was.

You know something, let me just check the label on my sweater. Oh My Grover! It’s 50% wool!
