How would you design a shopping center?
Sigiloso
I would design a shopping center with only 2 stores: a Footlocker and a Hotdog on a Stick. Let's face it, those are the top earners at any mall. Furthermore, the shopping center is designed like a maze so an average shopper spends at least 3 hours finding his or her way out. At first, the shoppers experience the typical shopping euphoria. They enter this huge lobby with a multiple escalators taking them to three different levels. Except, these three levels are actually all the same because they only contain Footlockers and Hotdog on a Sticks. Then the shopper thinks, wow if a mall can afford to have so many of the same stores at the very front, the mall must be huge. This is where they go wrong. The deeper they venture into the mall, the more they realize that this center just consist of these two stores. Soon, they are parched and exhausted. Buying some hotdogs on a stick and a cool lemonade provides only temporary relief as soon the guilt of eating crappy food like hotdogs on a freakin' stick hits them. Then, they will go into Footlocker trying to buy some running shoes so they can work off the calories from the hotdogs they just ate. However, the act of shopping for shoes makes them hungry again so they eat more hotdogs. Soon, the additional sodium intake from the hotdogs make their whole body bigger, causing them to buy new shoes because the old ones didn't fit anymore. So, this cycle repeats until all of the patrons die and we have all their money. Adapted from the movie: The Human Centipede.
