Read an article about TV ads that are being run at the moment by both the right and the left to try to sway opinions.

Congratulations everyone. We are now living twenty minutes into the future.

I thought '20 minutes' was a rather clever interval of time. As in, "Before this show ends, this will be reality." or "Soon enough you don't want to change the channel." It was in effect functioning as a kind of meme, re-enforcing the world it proposed.

I loved that show. It was so dark and brutally honest. Definitely one of the better shows of its era. (Though there wasn't much competition) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1987-88_American_network_television_schedule
