You'd
live in a place where no two people had the same name, and
all were h0t 17/f cheerleaders with a fetish for pierced
gay Dobermans in spandex.
You'd only pay $19.95 a month to live there, but half the
time you tried to leave your house, the door would be stuck.
Once you got outside, even if you were in a hurry, you'd
be assaulted by slimy little door-to-door salescreeps offering
you great AOL 14.4 modems for only $399.99
The commute to work is just a double-click away, but every
time you try to leave your driveway, the flow of traffic
knocks you back into your yard.
48 hours after moving in, your mailbox would be overflowing
with special offers, promotions and discounts from www.getlaid.com
The local post office would tell your mother you're not
a known resident.
The local post office wouldn't forward your mail to you
when you move.
The administration would kick you out of town for cursing
after one of those brutal toe stubs.
If you saw a crime and called 911, they'd reply a week
later with a form letter saying how you "really are
important to us."
The administration would tell your boss to either pay up,
or move his slack-ass company somewhere else.
Everyone on the street would have something to do with
kiddy porn, and this business would account for 75% of all
city revenue.
Every time you went to the mall, people would run up to
you and violently scream M/F??!!, AGE/SEX?!?! or g0t PH1SH
d3wd?!11 while little kids called your cell phone saying
"Wanna SCREW?"
Those that didn't do that would call you and say "Hi,
I'm j0e hax0r from the town council. We had a database crash
and lost your tax records. Please give us your address and
the key to your house or we will be forced to evict you
and your family."
Every time you went shopping, you'd be kicked out of the
store by a bouncer screaming "WE'RE SORRY, THIS STORE
IS TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE."
Whenever you traveled to other cities, people would see
your license tag and laugh behind your back.
Even your 3 year old son would know the intimate personal
details of the town security expert.
You'd occasionally be sent home during the day by another
bouncer telling you that the city has performed an illegal
operation, but that it's really the Earth's fault.
The local McDonalds sign would be realistically changed
to "McHax0r Wuz H3r3" and "Gr33tz 2 K}It0sawruz"
almost daily. Police don't investigate, but do show up with
little scrubby tools, or just remove the sign altogether.
Half the kids in the daycare you use are thinly disguised,
fat, hairy, drooling, diapered men holding sacks of candy.
Your daughter would disappear to the No-Tell Motel every
night, and you'd foot the bill.
Putting up controversial art in your home would result
in the police bashing in your door, throwing your ass on
the floor, and kicking the crap out of you while saying
"Ya got two chances left, dickface. ROFLMAO LOL!!"
You'd send your kids to school for history, math, and science,
but they'd wind up studying ph1shing, one-handed typing,
and annoying acronyms.
You'd not have any idea who your neighbors are, and most
new arrivals would move in at night, stuff everyone's mailbox
with crap, and vacate before sun-up.
The administration would secretly sell off chunks of their
personal land in the city, while buying up neighboring cities
with imaginary funds.
The administration would build a huge, state- of- the-
art park, and allow the kids to play there free, then suddenly
demand money while ripping down the swings and beating the
kids currently playing there.
Don't forget the AOL playground, which is locked so that
the kiddies can not get out "for safety reasons,"
and then hordes of perverts & pedophiles are allowed
in.
The police would work for free out of some sort of "duty"
to the city, but would secretly only be doing it for the
free food stamps.
Upon waking every morning, a voice from above would shout,
"HEY! YOU DO WANT A GODDAMN AOL VISA, DON'T YOU?"
To which you say "no." The voice then replies,
"OK, I'LL ASK YOU TOMMOROW."
A trip to the local library would find you a few ancient
doom 2 patches, commercial pix of Pamela Anderson Lee, and
a viral copy of PkZip 2.04g
Community events would be periodically interrupted because
of the speaker randomly flying out of the meeting hall and
appearing several minutes later with some stupid comment
about a Punt Monster.
Your neighbors would be called to leave on pilgrimages
to a mystical land called USENET, where they would bleat
the virtues of your fair city.
Somewhere in another city, David Cassel would be sitting
with a telescope trained on City Hall, smiling contentedly.
