Narrator: ?
(1)Narrator: the great and wonderful and fabulous and elegant general secretary Abraham
became the new dictator of Anihc. At first, the great and wonderful and fabulous and
elegant general secretary Abraham worked very hard to win the people’s hearts. After he
gained their trust, he started to long for more personal profit, and it was time to do what he
always wanted to do--amass wealth.
the mighty and great and wonderful and fabulous and elegant general secretary
AbrahamHEEEE, in this technologically advanced era, I could use social media to
manipulate people’s minds effortlessly. I would make people worship me by only showing
them my good deeds. Being quick-tempered, those who dared to speak ill of me would be
“taken care of” immediately. People thought that they lived in a true democracy.
It has been 10 years since I became the leader of Anihc. Throughout these years, by
implementing the policy “fly or tiger, we hit together”-- the ultimate law I use to eradicate
the oppo…...gain the people’s trust. Now, it’s time. You see, the Oam Quotations is so out
of date. Kids these days don’t even read books. So! Jerry and James, I need you two to
create a system to cleanse people’s minds. By using social media, you will make me the
greatest ruler of all time! hahahahaha(Evil Laughing)
Jerry&James: Roger that! The great and wonderful and fabulous and elegant general
secretary Abraham.
Titz: (Hurry) Hey Freesome, we need to talk.
Freesome: Sure man, is anything wrong?
Titz: A few days ago my nephew posted some hilarious pictures (PPT Slide) of the great
ruler the great and wonderful and fabulous and elegant general secretary Abraham
photoshopped into a bear on the internet with the caption saying that “Anihc is just China
backward.”
Freesome: (Laughing uncontrollably), that's very funny.
Titz: (emotional)It was just a silly joke from some teenagers. However, the post was
deleted in like 5 seconds and I believe that's why it didn’t go viral. A few hours later a
group of cops broke into my little nephew’s house and took him away. He was gone for 7
days!!!
Freesome: Oh man, seriously? I feel sorry for you. Yet, why?
Titz: I was horrified upon hearing the news. His family moved away from Anihc because
they feared that they would be implicated. However, he was sent back on the 8th day.
They said he humiliated the great leader, so he was sent to “re-education”. He changed so
much ever since.
Freesome: Oh my god, you know what that means?
Titz: That the government is monitoring us all the time.
Freesome: I have suspected that for quite some time. Now, this is confirmation that my
suspicion is entirely correct. There’s one way to find out more. All we have to do is hack
into the government system and see how the system works.
Titz: What would I do without you. That’s such a good idea.
Narrator: Titz and Freesome secretly moved to the countryside where they wouldn’t be
monitored by the government. There, they worked together and hacked into the
government’s server to access some confidential files.
Freesome: Holy Crap, approximately two-thirds of the codes contain filtering systems that
automatically delete mean posts that may contain offensive content and tarnish the
leader’s reputation. Also, the system can also track down those who posted “inappropriate
information” online.
(scrolls down the codes)
Titz: Wait…... stop just right there. Do they use big data and artificial intelligence on us? By
collaborating big data and artificial intelligence, the great and wonderful and fabulous and
elegant general secretary Abraham has can now control the whole society using social
media, even to the most secret corners! This is such a serious violation to personal
privacy. The freedom of speech that was guaranteed at the beginning of the country’s
foundation has now vanished into dust. The dictator is violating the laws himself.
This is sick. This is so wrong. What should we do?
Freesome: Let’s go to find Onlivan. Being a blind supporter of King the great and
wonderful and fabulous and elegant general secretary Abraham, he has the right to know
the truth. It is time for a reality check! (goes and find Onlivan)
Freesome: What’s up man!
Onlivan: Good Morning Freesome and Titz! Have you guys seen the latest post from King the
great and wonderful and fabulous and elegant general secretary Abraham? He just saved a whole
village of people from the erupting volcano yesterday! How amazing right!
Titz: Yeah about that I must tell you something. I know this may sound crazy (,but we think King
Abraham is deceiving us
Onlivan: Haha, you mean he did more than what he said on his post. Yeah, I’ve heard, he is going
to arrange houses for those poor people.
Titz: No I mean he has been lying to us for this whole time. He didn’t do all the great things that he
claimed he had done. He would delete posts that irritate him, and then he would take those people
away.
Onlivan: Take them away? Away to where?
Freesome: Who knows? Some didn’t even have a chance to come back! They just vanished into
thin air. They are gone. Gone forever.
Onlivan: Haha woah there. Do you guys have any idea what you are talking about? Come on we
all know that King the great and wonderful and fabulous and elegant general secretary Abraham is
a good person, he would never do something like this.
Freesome: Oh so you don’t believe us. No worries, I got some EVIDENCE!
(Show Onlivan the evidence)
Onlivan: Oh my lord, where did you get all this information from?
Titz: We hacked into the government system.
Onlivan: This is so wrong. You might get yourself into some serious trouble!
Freesome: You’re right, but the people must know the truth. We need your help. As the CEou
must help us!!! You’re our only hope! You know this is the right thing to do.
Onlivan: Argh!!! Fine! But we definitely need more evidence to prove that King the great and
wonderful and fabulous and elegant general secretary Abraham is lying to everyone.
Freesome: Oh! I remembered that we found a confidential file that said it needs permO of Anihc
Television, you must tell all the people about the truth.
Onlivan: NO!!! I will report both of you to the officials.
Titz: Yission from the country’s top engineers, James Deen and Jerry Butler.
Onlivan: Alright then. If you give it to me, I’ll be able to broadcast it on TV.But… it’s hard to find
them, and you might be caught.
Ricky Astley: (Open the door) What’s up Onlivan! Ready for the show tonight?
Titz: What show?
Onlivan: I’m so sorry but I may not be able to perform tonight.
Scarman: What do you mean?
Onlivan: We here are trying to stop the great and wonderful and fabulous and elegant general
secretary Abraham’s evil system.
Ricky Astley: What are you talking about?
Onlivan: It seems like King the great and wonderful and fabulous and elegant general secretary
Abraham is always monitoring us all the time. Also, he would delete posts that he doesn't like
online, and he will punish those who dare speak ill of him. Now we must stand against him, my
friends. Now, these two amazing scientists have found a way into the government. We’ll be able to
expose him in no time.
Scarman: What on earth are you talking about? We all know that King the great and wonderful
and fabulous and elegant general secretary Abraham is a good person!!! We must report you to
the officials!!!
(Ricky and Scarman ran away)
Freesome: Come on, we must leave at once. We can go to my cottage in the countryside. There
is no possible way for them to know that we’re there. Also, I’ve heard that Jerry and James are on
a vacation to the countryside, too. We might be able to find him there.
(And so they go to the countryside)
Freesome: Now we must find James and Jerry.
(Find Jerry and James)
Freesome: Look! Over there! It must be James Deen and Jerry Butler.
Titz: Oh..wow. It seems to be easy to find them...
Freesome: This is crazy! It might be a trap.
Onlivan: There’s only one way to find out.
(Walk over to James and Jerry)
Titz: Hey! Long time no see I’m Titz from the government’s development department. I believe that
we have met each other before.
James: Uh…. Do I know you?
Freesome: Of course you do! Don’t you remember us? The two great scientists Freesome and
Titz.
Jerry: Wait… You two are the ones messing with the system! Guards, seize those betrayers!!!
Onlivan: Whoa, hold up. Let us explain.
Jerry: There is not much to discuss. Do you think we don’t know about the system? We’re the
ones who created it, dumbass.
Freesome: Therefore you must help us!!! Deep down in your heart you know this is wrong,
Monitoring each and every one of us, deleting things on the internet, and even taking random
people away from their families forever!!!
James: OMG!!! I guess the rumor’s true then. They do take those people away. Jerry, we must
help them. I’m sick doing all these things for the great and wonderful and fabulous and elegant
general secretary Abraham.
Jerry: How can you believe these two mad scientists so easily. Even if they are telling the truth,
what can we do about it?
Freesome: There is a piece of encrypted information that we must retrieve to expose the great
and wonderful and fabulous and elegant general secretary Abraham.
James: Ok then, we will help you.
Jerry: What!!!! How about us? We might die! Our families may be in danger.
James:I have not had a chance to fulfill his wish-granting true democracy to the crowd. But now,
he has teammates, people with rich resources, and good conscience.
Jerry: Fine. I guess this is the right thing to do. I’m in!
(Every one high five)
Narrator: After getting the information they needed, Onlivan broadcasted the news through three
ways: Television, Radio, and their Redtube channel, a site that almost every person in the country
uses though it contains a lot of ads about the great and wonderful and fabulous and elegant
general secretary Abraham. The words spread insanely fast and everyone started to learn about
what the great and wonderful and fabulous and elegant general secretary Abraham had done.
James: It’s working! The great and wonderful and fabulous and elegant general secretary
Abraham is losing his supporters so fast!
Freesome: Yessssss!!!!!!!!!!
Titz: Look! The great and wonderful and fabulous and elegant general secretary Abraham is killing
those , we have to stop this terrible ruler.
Jerry: I know that he is going to hide up tomorrow morning, we have to catch him as soon as
possible.
James: I have an idea!
(the great and wonderful and fabulous and elegant general secretary Abraham walking)
Ricky: Look, it's our love, King the great and wonderful and fabulous and elegant general
secretary Abraham!
The great and wonderful and fabulous and elegant general secretary Abraham: Do I still
have supporters?
Oscar: Of course! Despite every news article that says that you're a bad guy, we all think that it's a
big fraud!
the great and wonderful and fabulous and elegant general secretary Abraham: Of course it's
a fraud. You're right to believe in me.
Ricky: We shall serve you for the rest of our lives. We will find those hackers and crush their
skulls for you. Now, let drink some water and relax.
(Abraham drinks some water)
the great and wonderful and fabulous and elegant general secretary Abraham:
Why...why I’m feeling asleep.
Oscar: That’s why we told you to relax, now, just take asleep.
(Abraham zzz) Next scene: Abraham at the guillotine, wakes
the great and wonderful and fabulous and elegant general secretary Abraham:
What?? Ricky, Oscar, you said that you are my supporters. What happened now?
Ricky: Are you silly? do you believe that there’s anyone who still loves you?
Freesome: Now, it’s your turn to feel the pain that you did on multiple citizens.
Abraham:NO!!! (DEAD)
