Public Loudspeakers Shrill With Controversy
A recent poll on putting up huge loudspeakers in NATIONSNAME’s cities for public government broadcasts has been brought to your attention.
I’ve encountered with many choices
1. “This idea is brilliant, and NATUIONSNAME can’t afford to pass it up,” claims Theresa Moral, your Minister of Safety. “These loudspeakers can assure the public that the government is always here to help them. The potential here, to immediately warn citizens of an emergency such as an earthquake or a stampede of ANIMAL or something, simply must be taken into account! This could save lives! And I suppose, when there isn’t anything the citizens need to be told, you could always use them to broadcast patriotic messages like ‘Freedom and Moral’ and inform the good people which party to join and vote for with newsbriefs and such. It’ll be worth it to strengthen the populace’s devotion to our glorious nation!”
2. “I think people need to realise what this really is: brainwashing!” retorts May Eliot, a wealthy marketer. “I don’t want to hear all this flag-waving hogwash every time I go out for a walk. But when it comes to emergencies, I do agree that something should be done to warn everyone: we should send out messages on mandatory miniature radios that you can carry in your pocket. It could tell you things you need to know too, like what shoes to buy and such.”
3. “To be honest, I can’t see why we should put up with advertising at all,” says Alexander Smit, an anti-business protester. “All it is is some multi-billionaire or politician somewhere trying to make even more money while the rest of us struggle to make ends meet. I say we ban it. Maybe the economy will suffer a little and some people may lose jobs but that’s just a minor side-effect really, especially when you consider that no longer will our children be encouraged to fill themselves with junk-food because some guy on the telly tells them it’s cool!”
