1. They can not have a real use.
2. They have to exist.
3. The have to incorporate an anarchic spirit.
4. They have to be a tool for daily life.
5. Can not be sold.
6. The humor may not be the sole reason for its creation.
7. Be innocent.
8. Can not touch taboo subjects
9. Can not be patented.
10. Being against bias.
