Viral Marketing

Several quotes. Minimal use of adjectives. A lot of violence.

A man approaches a courtyard filled with people. He is carrying a sword. "There is nothing special about the sword. However, it is very shiny." He is wearing some type of combat suit. It is sleek and dark. He is wearing a helmet. It has a computer interface similar to the one in movies like Terminator or Iron Man. He kills everyone in the courtyard.

Really weird stuff happens on the internet. Nothing to cause a commotion. Admins of popular forums are locked out of their admin panel. Things that don't seem to be possible start to happen. Webpages melt. There is a short period of time, around one or two minutes, where websites behave in strange ways. They transform into MS Paint while still retaining their website properties. The website still manages to function as the website is being updated with crude drawings of ejaculating penises by millions of people in real-time. Everything goes back to normal after the time limit is up. A large smiley face appears on the top of the screen. Clicking the smiley face leads to a webpage with an incomprehensible URL. Something to the order of2937FLOhhatpod/af;O&9jf(6rw088w4++297%%4@/{}7 except even more fucked up. On the website there is a giant indescerinable image. It a square whose real-life size is 20x20 inches. This happens on several websites and the smiley face on each one links to a different URL with a different image.

Tone changes. People are confused but not scared. Because there is nothing to be scared about. People are simply wondering how these strange but harmless things are happening. There's a strange website on the internet that only has one message on it. It says, "Tomorrow, A GIANT WILL FALL." Tomorrow....something weird happens.

So, while everyone is kind of having fun and laughing about all this weird shit, nothing really seems to happen. But maybe reality is altered. Maybe memories are wiped? One day, the world is filled with peace and people no longer need anything to survive. The next day, all these fuckin nukes go off and it looks really awesome but probably sucks really bad for the people that got nuked. A high level understanding is reached because the sudden change of reality really motivates people and tickles their brain into thinking at an even higher capacity as they see the universe and the fundamental particles that make it up while the four fundamental forces, each of which obviously operates at a different scale and allow atoms to combine, genes to evolve, numbers to be counted, people to see, hear, smell, touch, taste, and people to think.

There is a distinction made between sense and nonsense. Between absurdity and truth.
