I saw a sign at the local Disney Resort here in Ko Olina apologizing for closing off most of the gardens from guest access. I immediately thought of prompts and writing challenges and competitions. Well actually didn't but when phrasing my thought I realized that what I was thinking about had equivalent conventions attached already.
So I went back and thought about it a bit more. What I wanted to say was that I wanted to start a thread of transformative phrases that shift the frame from one thing to another to avoid blame or inform differently. Perhaps one of the essences of societal manipulation whether it be electioneering or corporate misdirection. This has been a hobby of mine, wondering on how people come to opinions that don't hold others accountable for their actions and the results. Kale Lassen of AdBusters fame published a phrase that has stuck with me for all these years, roughly, ' How many people must a corporation kill before it ceases to have a right to exist?'
ok, without further ado; the situation of a luxury resort walling off the grounds and gardens where people are paying top dollar for the experience:
"Please excuse us while we re-imagine"

I hate imagineering.
I'm all for a re-imagining of the US govt's corporate policies; and the US govt's govt policies as well.
I fixed this for you. You're welcome.

Haha, well played.
Would this be appropriate to your prompt:
Eating a burger at Burger King: "the cow was asking for it."
I don't know, my brain is not working.
I reread this thread twice, and keep having the feeling that some of the entries are unnecessarily verbose, yet their messages might be of some great interest if clarified. I could be wrong.
The above sentence could also be clarified in a less wordy manner. You could translate it as: "Huh?"
I think Bret Easton Ellis's movie, The Canyons, will prove to be an example of the "paradigm shifting framings of things that emerge from one thing to a completely different thing slipping out from under the responsibility of causation."
I got something
A lab where they're experimenting on monkeys. On the building's front door we read: "Chimplant Lab -- here, the evolution of science is not just a theory."
Warmer?
What constitutes a paradigm?
Well I think pharmaceutical companies (and other corporate interests, like cosmetics industry, maybe that even more because it's not in the name of curing people) may disguise their greed by claiming they do everything for the sake of science and progress, which is how they justify torturing animals like monkeys and rats. That's why I thought it may fit.
And isn't (ideological) propaganda that shifts paradigms? Or one thing that does that.
1812: Man wants sex, man marries woman, man owns woman, woman obeys.
1912: Woman has headache, man respects her feelings.
2012: Man offers paracetamol, woman reports him for attempted rape.
2112: The world is populated by nothing but clones of Genesis P-Orridge, and waterbears.
1812, 1912, 2012...
All false. Try again after you've completed ninth grade history.

Maybe check your facts before you call me out. In any case, the dates are not important. The post was to highlight a paradigm shift, as is the point of the thread. But I guess you missed that.
Try again after you've completed English Language. Condescending prick.
1. Is that a divorce decree or did you cite the wrong link?
2. Did you just cite the right of women to vote as proof that men respected women's desire to not have sex?
3. Did you just cite a single, random occurence of a false rape allegation in England to prove that women claim rape any time a man offers her a Tylenol?
I don't know if this fits as an idea generator, but it's brilliant nonetheless. Since I believe the theory of evolution to be one of the greatest paradigm shift ever. And whoever came up with wall animation deserves some kudos too.
Ah, ... anarchy.
Yes?
Yes.
