A bit blindly optimistic. I'm sure our media overlords will find a way to adapt, if they haven't already done so. While this Newsweek example is particularly ham-fisted, it is not that difficult to provide fodder for the imaginations of members of the public, prompting them to have ideas that they will then attribute to themselves.



"BREAKING: NYPD vows to protect Wall Street holy sites from angry protestors bent on offending the profit. #s17 #MuslimRage"

-- epic :)

my brain just sees assignment, multi-dimensional array reference, space in a variable name, and what looks like infix exponentiation of unknown precedence.
