...is the Web site for the new TV show, Big Brother. Brought to you
by (insert corporate sponsor name here). 10 people locked into a
house for 3 months, monitored day and night by videocam, voting once
a week to eliminate some of their number until the sole survivor
collects a cash bonanza, all to enrich the interests of the show's
corporate sponsors. Eager volunteers and a watching nation, make 1984
a reality but flipped around: government doesn't have to coerce the
people into accepting non-stop observation, the people, well trained
through a lifetime of media consumption, embrace their omniscient
monitors.
