Or, instead of this breathless narrative, we can acknowledge that this is a standard boilerplate legal safeguard employed by hundreds of companies, particularly those that rely on intellectual property or creative work.

But that would require you to Google ["unsolicited ideas" policy], the first two SERPs of which would tell you that the same safeguard is published at Taser, Sling, Fujifilm, eBay, Zynga, Husqvarna, Krispy Kreme, LG, McDonalds, Dickies, American Spirit Tobacco, Reynolds, Nabisco, and The Late Late Show With Craig Furguson (and all other CBS shows).

If you wanted to be creative, you could also use advanced Google-fu in the form of ["unsolicited ideas" (cisco|google|adobe|microsoft)], whereupon you'd learn that all those companies also have that safeguard.

Sheesh.
