[In place of Mr Bong’s usual reflections on disruption and innovation, we have instead received this from Bong Ventures LLC legal affairs team – Ed.] From: Steven P Bong, Founder and Chief Disruption Officer. 1. Inaccurate Reporting I am dismayed by reports originating in the foreign press purporting to “expose” the “ …

Alternative Solution

"We should not have employed reproductively capable staff"

If the staff are still capable of reproducing it is probably because they are not stressed enough. Mixing shifts within the same week, increase the quantity of Bromide within the water supply, oblige male employees to carry their smartphones in the front pockets and adding a little bit more of that estrogen + progestogen mix in the coffee machine should all help.

I'm sorry I misconstrued it for comedy

OMG.

That is all I have to say. I mean it just created visions of noodle eating hippy stoners straight out of the Silicon Valley series.

Shit name, shit culture and druggie name too boot. What could possibly go wrong. I have visions of this little Asian assistant muttering under her breath about that MOFO who she works for as she can't get a better job and an asshat CEO much like that of "Huli" or whatever it was called in the series.

I wouldn't do business with em as all I would ever be thinking is "Stoners".

It is also sadly (or happily) the first time a legal begal has actually provided me with entertainment, and for free.

Stuart, you did understand that it was satirical didn't you ?

The subtitle is usually the giveaway.. "From: Steven P Bong, Founder and Chief Disruption Officer. "

OK CDO's actually exist do but not formally...

"Stuart, you did understand that it was satirical didn't you ?"

Conservatives (the American kind, can't speak for their British counterparts) don't understand satire. Many of them appear to believe that the Colbert Report, which was specifically created to mock conservative newscasters, was an actual news show, so it's unsurprising that the satire in this piece went unobserved.

"Conservatives (the American kind, can't speak for their British counterparts) don't understand satire."

If only that was all they didn't understand.

You have got to be trolling

Steve Bong is a CEO, thinkfluencer, and inspirational ventrepreneur - not a "legal begal (sic)".

What's wrong with being a "stoner"? Most drugs don't fry your brain and can be very enjoyable. Silicon Valley may be a bubble, but in the meantime the Cali druggies are having more success and fun than you. They don't need your "business".

I don't understand

Two weeks in a row this column has simply been straight reportage.
