I think it’s fine because it plays off the commonly stated “corporations are people” sentence that exists in the world.


Yeah, and I think it's fully intended to embrace how silly it sounds, given the tongue-and-cheek opening paragraph:

> It’s widely known that Corporations are People. This is universally agreed to be a good thing; I list Target as my emergency contact and I hope it will one day be the best man at my wedding.

It reminds me of that episode of Community where Subway enrolled a person who they hired to legally represent their corporate entity so that they could open a shop on campus without violating the school's rule that only student-run businesses were allowed.


I usually use that as a bozo filter
