OK everyone.  Sit down and shut up.

It's behavior modification time for the ultimate good, meaning international 
corporations and their suck-ups.

From now on, the following sentences may not be used:

"Hey, have you heard that new song?"
"Wow, that movie was great!"
"I love to play that video game."
"You like that one too?  It's my favorite book."

According to our corporate overlords at EA and Jeffrey Fleming at Gamasutra,
you must use these sentences instead:

"Hey, have you heard that new Intellectual Property?"
"Wow, that Intellectual Property was great!"
"I love to play that Intellectual Property."
"You like that one too?  It's my favorite Intellectual Property."

The word came down from:

so you better get hip to it right away.  Those not following these rules
will be subject to re-education in the ways our Great Benefactors.

That is all.  Dismissed.
