When we bought our last refrigerator, we had to special order it. We don't want the automatic ice and water feature.

They miswrote marketing people who only want you to get addicted to thir companies style and structure so you won't be able to use a different (best exemples of wtf I'm talking about are android vs iPhone, metric vs imperial, calendar formats)

Not just that, everyone stopped talking about this the after children in North Korea where shot to death because....they brought this show home (after vacation) and showed to other classmates, and the supreme leader was not amused
On top of that, iirc families where send to work in mine (aka slaves for life)
techers and other employees from said school (who were completely unrelated..) where dismissed and send who knows where

As much as I hate that toy, I hope blackeyedpeas loses, or else future things that should fall under parody could be affected with examples like this.
It's so obviously a parody with the intention to make it funny and referecial, not copy the original piece. Anyone should be able to do so for that purpose.
It's not about the stupid unicorn video, but about everyone else who wants to parody or reference something in their work.

KitchenAid is pretty horrific too. Absolutely not recommended.

My washer and dryer alerted me when they were done, too.
Now the washer has moved in with the dishwasher and the dryer is out late with appliances it met on Grindr.

Doesn't it email you when it's low on ink though? Hewlett-Packard spams you like that, if I recall.

What did the microwave say to the refrigerator? It said, I've been trying to reach you about the extended warranty on your dishwasher!

Is it different than a thirst trap? I don't know what that is but it sounds dangerous.

there's a difference between cosplaying a fictional villain and actually doing their villainous actions

True. I guess for me what makes a difference is Darth Vader and Joker are both purely fictional characters. It would be like me getting mad at people who like GTA and saying they're promoting drug dealing.
But Squid Game is too close to reality for me to comfortably engage with or make light of.
It's like Nosedive (I don't know if you watch Black Mirror.) If someone copy pasted the housing system in real life just cause they liked the pastel aesthetic. I'd be like... you missed the whole point of what the creators were trying to convey. Yeah, pastels are cute, but wtf dude.

Haha okay that makes sense. Still makes me squirm, but I get the convenience factor.

The thing is, I find it very unrealistic that you could create a game show experience with that many people and a number of them not get hurt. Especially since some of the games being played were modeled after literal death traps.

People like the costumes because they're easy to coordinate into a group.

I slightly disagree. A lot of designers really thought these features would be used and would be cool.
