CLASSIFIED-ISH OPERATIONAL BRIEFING / M-010

YOUR ORDINARY WORLD.
AN EXTRAORDINARY EXCUSE TO NOTICE.

An everyday product or object can occasionally sound like the name of a theatrical villain. A detergent brand, a piece of office equipment or a kitchen utensil might have the perfect dramatic title.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR.

Use a product or object name that appears on your own belongings or in normal public view. Invent a harmless fictional backstory based on its sound.

AN EXAMPLE REPORT.

Example report: “The Supreme Spatula sounds like the ruler of a very badly managed kingdom.”

ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE · NOT A COMMUNITY SUBMISSION

WHY THIS IS FUN.

This is wordplay, not a review or accusation against a real company or person. The Department is investigating extremely fictional naming energy.

KEEP IT HARMLESS.

Do not impersonate actual companies, defame identifiable people or reproduce large amounts of protected advertising copy.

FIELD DOSSIER · SUBMISSION OPTIONAL
