"I have... a problem." "I'd be happy to help; what is the problem?" "I have encountered certain... files. Pictorial representations. I want you to find every single copy of them that is available on the Internet, and delete them. Then I wish to know who was responsible for supplying them in the first place." "I'll need to see the pictures." (a moment later) "...oh. That, uh, I can see why you wouldn't want that getting around." "Yes." "Is that, uh, was that a real photo?" "No!" "Just asking..." "I do *not* engage in such activities, and if I *did* I would not be fool enough to *photograph* them, and if I *were* such a fool the pictures would never leave my control. And it's irrelevant because I do not do such things." "Okay, okay. It's not my place to judge your sex life..." "That isn't my sex life! That's someone's demented fantasy!" "Right, I understand. Nice boots, though." "THEY ARE NOT NICE BOOTS!" "Yeah, the heels could be a little spikier, and it doesn't sit quite right on your leg..." "THAT'S BECAUSE I NEVER *WORE* BOOTS LIKE THAT, YOU FOOL! THEY AREN'T REAL!" "You don't need to get upset, Polaris. I'm not one of these idiots who would crucify a superior leader just for a few sexual peccadillos." "THIS IS A *FAKED* *PHOTOGRAPH*, MILAN! Do you understand me? It did not happen, it *will* not happen, I have never even *fantasized* about it happening, AND I WANT IT DESTROYED! I want the names of the people who created this disgusting travesty, I want the people who stored it on their servers, I want the people who have it on their *personal computers*, AND I WILL MAKE THEM ALL PAY! *Do you understand?" "Perfectly, but, Polaris..." "WHAT?! If you intimate again that these pictures are somehow factual--" "No, no, I got your point, it's just... how am I supposed to track this data down when you just erased the entire hard drive?" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Weather Underground.
