The Green Arrow torso poster becomes so popular that DC begins overmarketing Green Arrow paraphernalia, which proves to be less popular than they anticipated, resulting in bankruptcy.

Carl Icahn's spiritual quest was just a cover for his real estate quest; he buys several Buddhist Temples and most of the Vatican City.

The taxes on private pleasure planets prove too much for most folks budgets. Everybody moves back to earth where they all settle in the Boston area in order to take advantage of the nifty transportation system.

The Coalition Of Nations Whose Children Will Not Stop Crying, Dammit, What Is Wrong With You succeeds, but 20-30 years later those children sue the Coalition Of Nations Whose Children Will Not Stop Crying, Dammit, What Is Wrong With You for trauma, pain and sufffering, after proof surfaces that the Coalition Of Nations Whose Children Will Not Stop Crying, Dammit, What Is Wrong With You fabricated the videos in the first place.

All the lawyers come back to life when both Heaven and Hell reject them. The lawyers then sue the Royal Shakespeare Company on the tort action of battery.
