1984

• CCTV Director: So we are scheduled to put up more cameras in Canonbury Square next month, have you secured the equipment yet?
• Worker: Yes well we have the cameras, sir, but there is this one little thing...
• CCTV Director: A problem? What?
• Worker: Well you see, Mr. Livingston, Canonbury Square is where Orwell lived.
• CCTV Director: ...
• Worker: George Orwell
• CCTV Director: I don't follow. I don't watch reality TV.
• Worker: No, sir, he was a writer. He kind of predicted this sort of thing would be happening.
• CCTV Director: Sounds like a smart fellow. What's the problem though?
• Worker: No, sir, that sort of IS the problem. He predicted the cameras and such in Britain. But as a bad thing.
• CCTV Director: A BAD thing? Why could it be a bad thing? We are fighting terrorism, looking for Bin Laden!
• Worker: Yes, I know, but he saw it as an invasion of privacy and breaching of rights.
• CCTV Director: That sounds like terrorist mumbo jumbo. We are living in a time of peace, why would we violate peoples rights?
• Worker: We are actually at war sir...
• CCTV Director: Same thing.
