Last week, dear old Mark Zuckerberg introduced to the world his latest product to help mankind. After all, that is the obnoxious conceit of this man whose internal jingle is the ditty from the 1971 Coca Cola commercial "I'd like to teach the world to sing (in perfect harmony)". In his latest endeavor, META, he proposes we escape all the crap in the world by putting on virtual reality glasses ($200 from Facebook), buy a subscription and spend hours with favorite avatars for people and places. I can imagine the kind of drooling this concept evoked in the world's facist leaders. Get people hooked on this device, create incentives for them to spend more and more time in virtual reality all the while, you and your cronies rape, pillage, terrorize, murder with impunity and turn the real world into a hell on earth. Think of the synergies! Think of the profits!
I think the following would be a fabulous META ad geared to address FOMO anxieties of so much of the 1st World population.

Seems to help I know

Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?
The light's so much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
So go META
Things will be great when you're

Don't hang around and let your problems surround you

Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova
You'll be dancing with 'em too before the night is over
Happy again
You'll be dancing with 'em too before the night is over
Happy again
The light's so much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
So go META

Waiting for you tonight

You're gonna be alright now (META)

And you may find somebody kind to help and

Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand
To guide them along
So maybe I'll see you there
We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares
