#1224: Council of 300 explain
[A secret society meets in a darkened chamber; a kitschy video involving two people and an RC helicopter is projected onto the background.]
Master: …Then it is settled. We the 300 members of the Secret Council, decree that this video meets our standards, and shall “go viral”.
Master: Send it to one of our agents to be leaked to the common folk.
Steward: Some of them are noticing the number.
Master: …Add a plus sign to throw them off.
Steward: Very well.
Soon…
[A communication sent to Cueball, one of the many unsuspecting plebeians of the world.]
Email: Ooh! check out this great video I found!
