MANDATE OF THE YEAR 4: "WE'RE ALL GOING DOWN WITH THIS SHIP!"

By the Office of the Galactic Overlord

By the power vested in us, we hereby declare that all sentient beings are now required to wear pleated pants at all times. Failure to comply will result in severe penalties, including but not limited to:

• Forfeiture of all rights to wear pleated pants
• Immediate transfer to the Department of Redundant Regulations
• Forced viewing of the entirety of "The NeverEnding Story" on repeat

We will no longer tolerate your frivolous, untamed style. You will be assimilated.
