Homonym: a service for people with dark pasts and unique government names. if you're the only Neil Chumberton in the world and the first google hit for your name is your 2003 arrest for cocaine possession, Homonym will hire a bunch of people to change their names to Neil Chumberton and go on crime sprees. eventually your offense will be overshadowed by a slew of murders and robberies and racist tweets perpetrated by Neil Chumbertons who obviously have nothing to do with you.
on the other hand, if your archenemy is a man named Viborg Willisau who got a lot of publicity for saving a family of five from a fire, Homonym can hire people to save the whales and cure cancer and reverse climate change under his government name, overshadowing his good deed in the same fashion.
Homonym's rates will vary depending upon the number people hired and the severity of the deeds committed. getting 100 Neil Chumbertons to blow up 100 courthouses might cost you a few billion dollars, whereas getting 5 Neil Chumbertons to write 5 TERF screeds on medium.com might only cost you a few thousand.

I had a dream the other night about a Roku-esque device dedicated exclusively to tailor-made boilerplate middle-age 'comedy' movies. It had little ports where you insert cartridges for which actors, plots, holidays, etc. you want featured in your movie of choice. As far as I could tell, 'Diane Keaton' was a default setting that you couldn't turn off (but the target market didn't seem to mind). So now I'm wondering if it's too late for me to get to the patent office today.
