I don't know their area of research, but I'm already rooting for the puppy shredder machine!

You've invented a machine that desalinates seawater. It could make the deserts bloom, save millions of lives. But you can't get funding. So you go to the mad science funding board.
You attach a puppy shredder to the side of the thing to get in the door. But then they have some questions about the puppy shredder. So you start doing research.
The puppy shredder is more believable now, at your second presentation, but they have concerns about its efficency. You start increasing its power, adding more infrastructure. All the bones and fur have to go somewhere!
Third round of mad reviews. They say the puppy shredder doesn't have wide enough intake port! By God, you'll show them! You TRIPLE the size of the puppy scoop, add robot arms and a big vacuum cleaner to suck the little sons of bitches up! You need more power! It's time to switch to nuclear batteries! But where will you get the plutonium?! It's so damned expensive! The bank in the middle of Silver City just received a delivery of gold bars, direct from Fort Knox! But first there's those accursed poltroons in the Righteous Brigade to be dealt with! And then you'll show those pea brains at the mad science funding council! YOU'LL SHOW THEM ALL!!!
And somewhere in the middle of all this is a desalination miracle machine that could change the world. It just needs that damned funding...
Relevant SNL sketch: World's most evil invention
Haha I love how the Rock plays that with such a straight face.
I hate that you can see him obviously reading his lines offscreen rather than facing the other actors. But it's still one of my favorite skits
Surely the unethical funding is coming from the unethical traditional finance system, right?
You can't be less ethical than cutthroat shareholder capitalism status quo, I suspect.
Sheesh buddy, it's a funny meme. Don't make it your personality.
Sticky tape. As opposed to the unsticky variety of tape.
Police tape ain't sticky. Neither is ticker tape. Or cassette/video tape.
Sorry, I was born in 2000. I'm not familiar with completely outdated magnetic tape storage formats or completely outdated financial measurement tools. Also, police tape does have a sticky side or at least some of it does.
That there's an evil machine attached with no functional purpose related to the primary device is even more evil.
What's really evil is: you must use the evil machine to allow use of the non-evil parts.
Oh, you want your cancer cured? No problem, please insert one puppy and step into the cancer-healing chamber!
Sounds like the Evil League of Evil.
Is this the NPH show that triggered in my mind? A memory I barely knew I had stored up there?
Doctor Horrible's Sing-a-long Blog. a beautiful piece of media that came out of the 07-08 WGA strike.
Yup! Also starring Felicia Day, Nathan Fillion and Simon Helberg as the unforgettably useless henchman Moist 😄
Bad Horse has entered the chat.
Guild of Calamitous Intent.
This is the Revenge Society not some Guild of Calamitous Intent!
Despicable Me did it:
(Okay so that was a bank funding supervillainy, but same difference.)
Formerly Lehman Brothers
And what is so unethical about your machine?
It has a live feed of the chat from a game of LoL
