I liked how they introduced her, like "her mother died in an insane asylum thinking she was Queen Victoria" and my thought was, I like where I think this is going. I was not disappointed.

Welcome to the monoculture.

Welcome to every city being the same.  You walk out of your front door, and you see, what, a McDonalds and a Starbucks and a Theater showing the latest releases of the same remakes and sequels.  Problem is, you walk out of ANY front door ANYWHERE, and you'll see the exact same thing.

Where is the "Filthy Joe's Porn Emporium" of yesteryear?  Where are the mom & pop diners, the small gun dealers, the independent drug pushers that you knew by name?

All gone.  All swallowed up by WalMart and Applebees and Barnes and Noble.  The whole nation is slowly turning into one continuous strip mall that repeats itself every so often, like the background in the old Scooby Doo cartoon.

The monoculture spreads like a virus, too...when an alien culture is contacted, it is immediately absorbed, digested, and shit back out in homogenous blocks, with any marketable bits incorporated and passed back down the chain.  So maybe the whackjobs in Afghanistan had a point, right?  Too bad they were dumb enough to attempt violence, which basically just allowed the monoculture to use any objection as evidence of "terrorism".

And if that's true, then what did all those soldiers die for, anyway?  So that lowbrow "patriots" could yell "FUCK YEAH!" every time another MOAB went off?  Well, like the tombstones at Arlington spell out when viewed from the air, "THERE'S PLENTY MORE WHERE THESE CAME FROM."

This is it.  This is the future.  This is what we wanted, right?  It must be, because we had a fucking CHOICE, didn't we?  It's only our money that makes the Big Pig run...if we didn't like it, we wouldn't buy it.

So let's all go "celebrate diversity" by eating identical Big Macs.

Or kill me.

Oh maaan, I really, really, really love this one actually Rog.
This should be a real eye opener for the cabbages.
- So the New World Order does not actually exist?
- Oh it exists, and how!
Ask the slaves whose labour built the White House;
Ask the slaves of today tied down to sweatshops and brothels to escape hunger;
Ask most women, second class citizens, in a pervasive rape culture;
Ask the non-human creatures who inhabit the planet:
whales, bears, frogs, tuna, bees, slaughtered farm animals;
Ask the natives of the Americas and Australia on whose land
you live today, on whose graves your factories, farms and neighbourhoods stand;
ask any of them this, ask them if the New World Order is true;
they'll tell you plainly: the New World Order... is you!

meh i prevered 1-3 this one has a greater chance of working on the drones though, it's easily proven.

I love this line:

QuoteThe whole nation is slowly turning into one continuous strip mall that repeats itself every so often, like the background in the old Scooby Doo cartoon.

I picture the scooby-doo gang being chased by a giant monstrous Uncle Sam. And when they finally unmask him, it's Dick Cheney. Big surprise thar!

I rather suspect that they'll just yawn, fart, and go back to sleep.
