No. According Brandon/Dale Surrealism's a pyramid marketing scheme, like
Amway.

Surrealism uses art to advance it's goals, admittedly nothing
surrealism has produced has the power of professional wrestling but that
will change.

No. Brandon/Dale/Barrett use surrealism as a form of mental
masturbation (I'm doing something daring! (and mommy is impressed!)) and
fashion statement.

It's *me* who intends to use the power of the surrealist meme to start
a pyrimid marketing scheme thus making lots of money while emancipating
the hearts and minds of the people. We need gimmicks though, things
that can compete with professional wrestling.

All ideas welcome. Get into this lucrative market while there's still
ground floor opportunities. Remmber Surrealism(TM)! Don't be fooled by
inferior products!

"The big mistake I made was with Dali. I got greedy. I wanted 20% of
the cut for him to use our movement name and he only offered me 10. So
I threw him out. If I'd settled for 15 we'd be bigger than Disney."

You wished to be Bretons little one! His daughter however was Aube. Suthering
Breton wont bring an Auriora to the powers of surrealism.
