Yesterday the oblong followers made another successful pilgrimage. This time to one of the biggest musical events of the year, the Reading festival.
Once again they had ‘The Future is Oblong’ signs on full view, which built up looks of intrigue and wonderment from the festival goers.
Many of the music revellers did not get the concept, but wanted to know what was going to happen in the future and why it was oblong.
“Why?!” was a question often cried out. “Why is the future oblong!?” They wanted to know more. But once again our followers were loyal to the oblong. “Something big will happen soon”, they said. “And when it does, it’ll blow your mind!” This led to more excited and impatient oblong fans who just wanted to know the secret there and then.
Many of the women at the festival took to the oblong like they would to a scruffy haired man in skinny jeans with a guitar. They loved it!
“The oblong has been neglected for too long!” they cried. The oblong disciples nodded and agreed, holding their signs up straight and proud.
Some of the men folk looked as suspicious of the oblong as they would if they saw their girlfriend talking to Russell Brand. But after a few explanations, all was well in the world, and they too latched onto the power of the oblong.
Others wanted to get involved in the oblong campaign by waving the sign and shouting the message for all to hear. They too believed that the future is oblong!
At the end of the day, when most people were in the festival site, our loyal oblongeers left. Safe in the knowledge that they’d spread the oblong message to a mass captive audience that would pass on it on throughout the weekend.
The oblong continues to grow!
