# Hi, We're from the government, we're here to help rewrite your show.
A secret government operation put anti-drug messages into Hollywood TV
programs. Here's how one episode of the WB network's "Smart Guy" was
changed. http://salon.com/news/feature/2000/01/13/smart_guy/index.html
# Drug money-How the White House secretly hooked network TV on its anti-drug
message: http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2000/01/13/drugs/index.html
: Are you a govt agent? Have you manipulate any media presentations lately?
Is your propaganda effective? Are you good at mind-control? Does it work??
# Hillary set to do "Saturday Night Live" A secret memo outlines the first
lady's upcoming appearance as "SNL" guest host. Laugh at lesbo rumors:

# Newscasts digitally doctored - All the news that's fit to invent. If you
watched the "CBS Evening News" 'cast live from Times Square on New Year's
Eve, you may have seen a billboard advertising CBS News out in the square
behind Dan Rather. You might have looked at the well-placed billboard and
wondered just how CBS was able to place its ad so fortuitously. The truth
is, it didn't. The billboard and the ad for CBS did not exist. The image
was digitally imported onto the live CBS broadcast and used to obliterate
real objects, the NBC Astrovision underneath the New Year's ball and a
Bud ad. http://www.nytimes.com/yr/mo/day/news/financial/cbs-digital.html
: Do you expect "newscasts" to be news, entertainment, or some mix thereof?
Do you expect everything that's broadcast to be faked? Is it faked already?
Are broadcasters responsible for conveying truth to you, or for selling you
to their advertisers? Do you still watch commercial TV? Does your implant
twitch, smoke, sizzle? Is your brain adequately controlled? Are you a dupe?

: Is your cyberreality more significant than sex? Are you perfecting tele-
dildonics? Is interpersonal sex obsolete? Would you rather fuck a Reptoid,
human, other primate, other mammal, other chordate, vegetable, robot, me??

# AOL Password stealers (TROJ_AOL.WINSYST and TROJ_AOL.BUDDY). In recent
weeks, we have seen an increase in the number of America Online Password
Stealers (aka AOLPWS) that are being spread on the Internet. So we advise
all our customers not to open email attachments sent by individuals they
don't know and to keep their virus protection up to date. Two of the most
common AOL password stealers are TROJ_AOL.WINSYST and TROJ_AOL.BUDDY,
which try to email (steal) a user's AOL login and password. See
