Ah, the benevolence of national telecom monopolies. The bell system will rise again, and it will be pissed! Even as I speak AT&T and it's cadre of fanatics are consolidating their power.

On a first watch-through, I see a lot of specifics that are wrong or inaccurate, but the general gist of things doesn't seem too bad.

And, not only is my cranium filled with Mercury-era tech, but it's being run by Iosef Stalin's love child! QUICKLY! ACTIVATE THE FEET-O-TRON! Between the style, and the music, I keep expecting there to be some sort of close up of Stimpy's armpits or something...

And that brings us to the way chimpanzees are sensitive to the scent of poo, which they use as a handy ranged weapon!
