"Trust The Computer. The Computer is your friend!"

We're descending into the parody dystopia envisioned in this game.

In the early 90's, if I were to tell people that a mega-corporation would seek to take over all the world's information, and they would subject users to this Kafkaesque bureaucratic nightmare treatment straight out of the movie "Brazil," they'd think my brain was taken over by "Paranoia" the role playing game.

I'm sorry. Knowledge of that website is limited to citizens with Ultraviolet access, and I see you only have Red. Please report to your nearest Computer station to discuss next steps.
Unfortunately, most still would believe that.
I have half a mind to run a Paranoia game over lunch.
