New Google Identification Badges-"It Hurts, Man."

"Okay, well, anyway, there were all these hooded figures standing around the edges of the room with these little brands in their hands.

And then we all had to roll up our sleeves and get the Google Brand. Yeah. It hurts, dude.

Afterwards, we all sang the Google Song, "Hail to Our Google Overlords, Long May They Reign". It goes to the tune of "Yankee Doodle Dandy." I think it's pretty stupid, but hey. I guess this will save me some time in the morning cause instead of yanking out the ID card I'll just flash me some tat."
