After seeing yet another of those stupid "smack the celeb" banner ads, I started fantasizing about if someone would actually start going around following those stupid ads. This immediately made me think of psyochotropic conditioning.

So, I'm sure you can guess:

An antogonist who was conditioned to do everything (insert megacorp of choice) says in their ads. Initialy, this conditioning just meant that they had one certain sale for anything they advertised on the matrix. Since then, the marketing department changed and started adding some "shoot the monkey and win" ads. No one thought to remove the standard background script, so the individual(s) scorched to be perma-buyers are now running loose, punching celebrities and shooting monkeys.


So, anyone else have any ideas of antagonists that will make players wince once they understand?
