Very popular in Japan.
Sony (who did not invent the CD).
Philips (who probably did invent the CD)
Sony again (who has a hell of a lot of money)
Money (which is power)
Communism (which is a stage between capitalism and capitalism)
Philips (who didn't want Sony to pull a Microsoft on them)

You connect the dots!
Art and commerce!
Isn't it beautiful!
A match made in heaven!
Sublime beauty and prostitution all at once!
