Ahem. Time for another -------------- textfile.

Anarchy Inc.
|
||
--------------
|
||
|
||
(.... Daredevil, Ruby Tuesday, Modem User, Surf Rat, Dark Shadow ....)
|
||
(.... Senator Bunker, Havoc T. Chaos, Moon Roach, Lord Omega ....)
|
||
(.... The Misfit, Eric C. Thompson, and Alexander of Atlantis ....)
|
||
|
||
Now that my compooter is no longer in a state of disrepair, we may proceed on
|
||
one of our lilliputian excursions into that vast, untapped visceral body of
|
||
ethereal knowledge, that antithesis of antimony (what?), namely, this file...
|
||
Note that it is not done in cooperation with Radamanthine Dungeonwriters, Shadow
|
||
Stories Inc., BfB, or any other such organization- just Anarchy, Inc.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
You must be here for one of two reasons-
|
||
|
||
(1) You are bored, and when in such a state are apt to read anarchistic
|
||
literature. Seek counseling.
|
||
|
||
(2) Your English teacher has noted the literary quality omnipresent in
|
||
files of said group, and now you are doing your homework. Have your
|
||
English teacher seek counseling immediately.

|
||
| this is... | My friends, what is advertising? Chopped ham? No,
|
||
| a cute box | it's chopped liver, chopped to a smooth texture...
|
||
\---------------------/ Seriously, the only reason you read this file is
|
||
because of it's name. THIS FILE HAS NO NAME. But I lied, it has a name. You
|
||
can lie in advertising, it's considered standard practice to do so, even.
|
||
YOU HAVE SUCCUMBED TO THE PRESSURE OF THE MASS MEDIA, and shame on you! Why,
|
||
suppose there were a product on the shelf, called "This product has no name
|
||
(TM)". You'd probably buy it. You bought this file, after all.
|
||
|
||
Enough of that. Let's get down to proper things now. The mass media is
|
||
out to get us. You don't think they do all the nice things that they do just
|
||
for a service. Of course not. They want to sell you things. They want you to
|
||
buy things. They want you to make them happy, monetarily that is.
|
||
|
||
All advertising is not bad. Those public service announcements, (even
|
||
though they are there to keep the government happy to keep the station on
|
||
the air to keep advertisements on the air as well) are not bad, but they are
|
||
rather boring. But since you're not buying these services, they don't care.
|
||
/---------------------\ Since nobody but a splinter interest group ever
|
||
| buy anarchy | expresses any remote interest in the mass media's
|
||
\---------------------/ attack on our sanity, I think it about time some-
|
||
thing's done about this. Why, it's a travesty, a travesty of sanity, if you
|
||
will, and I'll not stand for it. So I write this text file. There, by the
|
||
grace of god, be I, me, sitting front of me apple ][ (+plus+, not //c).
|
||
|
||
Good grief, look at that commercial. Whatever happened to good adver-
|
||
tising, like Ed Barbara Furniture USA hi kids! Not that that's a soothing
|
||
voice, nor a good commercial; in fact if I had my chance I would probably do
|
||
something on the level of garroting that man.
|
||
|
||
Good grief, he[the Author]'s rambling again! We've got to put a stop to
|
||
it! But first these messages... [note: there are no messages; there was but
|
||
I had to save space- so I deleted 20k of ads. Sorry-/ed] [note: some people
|
||
have been complaining about there being too many notes./ed].
|
||
|
||
/---------------------\ [I'm getting sick of this! /ed] [Gag!.../ed?]
|
||
| reading boxes | Ever notice that a large percentage of commercials
|
||
| causes cancer | are just for shows that you could watch just to see
|
||
\---------------------/ other commercials? Wow! This stuff feeds on itself!
|
||
Now you can see why this has to be stopped. Well, at least the cable companies
|
||
almost don't have commercials, except between shows there exist commercials of
|
||
other shows, but those other shows don't have commercials, so it does not feed
|
||
on itself in that case. Still,...
|
||
|
||
So, you're going to watch television anyway... Ahem. That's Ok, as long
|
||
as you realize that the mass media advertising blitz really is nothing you can
|
||
do about, except ignore. Or use the device known as a remote channel selector
|
||
to quickly zap your television into obedience. Seems that those networks are
|
||
going to have to learn that our viewing time is sacred to them, and they shalt
|
||
not tamper with thus. Soon they will realize that 7 commercials in rapid fire
|
||
succession will not keep us glued to that TV channel.
|
||
|
||
On another note, you could do what I've done: Give up network TV series
|
||
altogether. The only network prime time show that I watch is Mike Hammer (my
|
||
hero?). That is, as soon as he's out of the clink.
|
||
|
||
/---------------------\ Now there comes a time in any text-file writer's
|
||
| 12:59:59 | to conclude his file. Now appears to be that time.
|
||
| Time to wake up... | So, with a flash, I will vanish namelessly into that
|
||
| (conclusion) | Big AE in the sky...
|
||
\---------------------/ -poof!-
|
||
|
||
"That's funny. I was reading this file, you see, and all of a sudden the
|
||
author vanished."
|
||
|
||
"Nothing funny about that at all. Haven't you noticed how that happens
|
||
every time you read a text file?"
|
||
|
||
"Oh yeah."
|
||
|

My sincere apologies for the unfortunate few who had not the courage to press
|
||
the ESC key and sat through the entire reading of that FOMA. Ahem.
