Nothing

Nothing exists, is british and you can buy it. It's nothing : niente, nada, nichts, rien.
If you try to find anyone speaking of Nothing (the object, not those boring guys who never stop talking and say ... nothing) some see in it the latest ad hoc present for those who have all (true !) or those who say to you they want nothing for Christmas. At least now you have the possibility to bring something. You took their word for granted. Yes ! One more geek you would say, or non-sense, even hyperconsuming symbol ? actually you will notice that Nothing is definitely something because it's an object. A plastic one. Sold in a piece of carton, printed with the logo.
And the user manual (there is one, do you know spontaneously how to use nothing ? lucky you)
So this is nothing, congratulations, you name it. Minimalism. Nothing is precious. Nothing is simple. Nothing is sacred. Open the packaging and you will be thrilled : "nothing will happen (can't help laughing, sorry). Let nothing come in your mind and it will bring you peace. Soon you'll discover that nothing is really better that something".
So this will be your little success. Not to mention of course that the product is guaranteed "effects free" meaning that if anything happens you can request a refund. Nothing is not for free even if it's not expensive but ironically the shipping is more expensive than the object by itself !
