"cultural product."
Step
2 -- Market the ever-loving shit out of the shitty product through a squid-

Step
3 -- Duck! As the avalanche of money from people buying and consuming often
toxic "cultural products" pours in at an astounding velocity.
Step 4 -- Hire armed guards and invest in a state-of-the-art home security system to protect you from the people who bought the "cultural products" you sold and who may have gone mad as a result.
