Halliburton Solves Global Warming
SurvivaBalls save managers from abrupt climate change
An advanced new technology will keep corporate managers safe even when climate change makes life as we know it impossible.

"The SurvivaBall is designed to protect the corporate manager no matter what Mother Nature throws his or her way," said Fred Wolf, a Halliburton representative who spoke today at the Catastrophic Loss conference held at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Amelia Island, Florida. "This technology is the only rational response to abrupt climate change," he said to an attentive and appreciative audience.


"It's essentially a gated community for one," said Wolf.


At today's conference, Wolf and a colleague demonstrated three SurvivaBall mockups,
and described how the units will sustainably protect managers from natural or
cultural disturbances of any intensity or duration.




"Much as amoebas link up into slime molds when threatened, SurvivaBalls also
fulfill a community function. After all, people need people," noted Goody as he
showed an artist's rendition of numerous SurvivaBalls linking up to form a
managerial aggregate with functional differentiation, metaphorically dancing
through the streets of Houston, Texas.

I saw that movie too. I recommend eveyone to see it! I believe it's called "The Yes Men".
It came out in video stores about a year ago. Hollywood probably still carries that movie, but I doubt Blockbuster would.
