The Clipping Chip
There's this chip, see.
Someone has painted a big bright smiley face on this chip.
And they say put it in your cell phone
it will make you safer.
But in fact, it reports everything you say to the government.
New Network
So this big Macrosoft corporation is building this big new network
and everybody who's anybody will be on it
and it will be the best network in world.
(maybe, almost, until the next one comes along)
So the government's getting calls from people
who say "we think you ought to look into this,
it might not be in the public's best interest."
The government gets a little antsy and says to Macrosoft,
"Maybe this isn't in the public's best interest."
And MS says to the government, "Here, take this key to the basement
of our network. BTW, most people don't know about this
basement, so just be real quiet while you're down there, OK?"
