Something to lighten the mood

Has anyone put wallpaper on speakers? I can only imagine it would work surprisingly well, or be a disaster.
Believe it or not, it has been used massively in cheap Guitar amps and cabinets instead of Tolexing, surprisingly it holds up well for decades, remember Guitar cabinets are moved and bumped around all the time.

So yes, go ahead.

Just choose a colour/texture you like.

Very famous 60´s Silvertone amps come to mind:

As you can see, seams are not a problem, at all, wallpaper is designed to be seamed together; these are holding better than same era Tolexing, go figure.
We are talking 1966 or earlier !!!!

Often not even wood veneer holds that good.

Ya ever see those annoying commercials about those 'miracle' remedies?
You know, the ones with some guy with a stethoscope around his neck, claiming to be a doctor?

"I'm not just a doctor,.... I take snotine lotion too!"

And did you ever buy into that chatter and take those so-called remedies?
How on earth does advertising like that even convince the viewer?
 
Why bother taking a capsule, when you can just change morbidly obese to "plus size model".
reminds me of the two ronnies skit 'we will be interviewing a man who has been on a diet of sennapods and garlic and has lot 15 pounds.... and all his friends'

Or going back to the 40s 'An apple a day keeps the doctor away. An onion a day keeps everybody away'

Hey, even US Military 😱 was forced to change the definition of "obese" under penalty of NOT having enough soldiers, go figure.

gone are the scale and the hip-waist measuring tape, replaced by a somewhat easier to pass physical test (walking a few miles on even ground, at your own pace).

They also let almost everybody in, and then subject them to a 90 day intensive weight reduction program 😱

There is also a similar standards lowering for intellectual tests, I wonder how can they solve that within 90 days .

The problem is real:

Only about 23% of young Americans are eligible for military service, with many potential recruits ineligible because of their weight.
