In the Spring of 2038, it became increasingly apparent that the average person was a moron willing to believe any nonsense anybody would tell them after 1000's of people made themselves critically ill by drinking motor oil (the real stuff, not the synthetic kind) thinking it would keep them safe from Covid 85.

A group of concerned citizens, which included some of the smartest people in the country, all came to the same conclusion:  The greatest threat to humanity was that darn near everybody was willing to believe anything anybody told them, and then tell everybody else as if it were true.  They decided the only hope for humankind would be if everybody would just shut the fuck up.  Everybody should keep their opinions to themselves.

And so began the STFU Campaign.  Hundreds of thousands of T-shirts were printed with STFU across the front.  There were bumper stickers, coffee cups, ballcaps Frisbees, pencils and pens, all emblazoned with the acronym STFU.  You name it, they put STFU on it.

It was the day before the worldwide release, on July 3, 2038, that an intern at the STFU Campaign Headquarters, more of an aside than anything, happened to ask, "If we want everybody to keep their opinions to themselves, then why are we putting ours on bumper stickers and T-shirts?"  And, of course, he did have a point.  In less than a week, the only people working for the STFU Campaign were the few who were trying to figure out just what do do with all that stuff.

The T-shirts, along with everything else, were all eventually sent to the obscure Middle Eastern country of Yunostan, where, in the local dialect, STFU was the acronym for "Tell More Lies."
