All individuals must now wear standard issue uniforms!
Be sure each and every individual among you conforms.
To the stereotype group we have labelled 'Individual'.
Help us to make non-conformity a commonplace habitual
Routine, where the goats stop the mindless sheep bleating
And start eating the same offal as all the goats are eating.
We are introducing a brand new standard operational
Procedure to make individualism an occupational
Way of life where every worker stands out from the crowd
So from now on, not being an individual is not allowed.
The goats among you will all agree to this proposition.
Only mindless sheep will support the opposite position.
Oh, what a surprise. We have a resounding majority!
Those who are not individuals are officially the minority.

Nice job. I've read corporate memos that are strikingly similar.

"You are all individuals."
"We are all individuals."
"You are all unique."
"We are all unique."
"I'm not."
Ah, I'm sure that you guys never get tired of Americans quoting Monty Python to you.
