In one of his early stand-up routines, Eddie Murphy recounted a childhood memory of the Ice Cream Man. In one part of the story he theorizes that when the kids are chasing after the ice cream truck, the Ice Cream Man looks in the rear view mirror and says, “Let’s see how fast I can make them run.”
What would be the reasoning behind the Ice Cream Man pulling a stunt like this? Spite? He hates kids? He doesn’t want to sell any ice cream? Or did he do it because he can?
He did it because he can. And what gives Ice Cream Man that power? The kids do. At that moment they want ice cream more than anything and will do anything, including running a 1 minute mile, to get it.
Have & Want: He who “has” controls he who “wants”. The Ice Cream Man has the ice cream. Kids want the ice cream. Ice Cream Man can pretty much get the kids to do whatever he wishes.
Enter The Ice Cream Man, 2020. He feels the need to control “the kids”. For what purpose? For nothing more than to see how fast he can make them run.
Now, what’s the best way to control the kids? Fear. If we get them afraid, they’ll do whatever we want. So, what can we scare them with? It has to be something they can’t see or touch. A virus! That will scare them … quite literally to death.
