Dear Producers. So, 2012 was your making? Most impressive, if it had not been for the consistent and at times obtrusive fuck-ups related to keeping my mediastreams non-parallell to me i wouldn't have believed that this could be "wrought" by an entity in the first place. (Matter of fact i still harbour my doubts, but letting my doubts go completely wouldn't be sporting...) The first thing that struck me with your 2012(TM) product was that it rehashed a whole lot of old science fiction stories. At times i couldn't really be sure if i was reading about president Obomi in Zanzibar or following my old friend Sun Boy from Cordwainer Smiths time. Honestly, are you reusing scripts that often just to get a headline in the news? I mean, it's difficult to compete with Justin Biebers allure, but you might try with some novelties for once. (Oh but you had those!) Variations on themes, that is what you are about aren't you? Good old yearmakers. Please remember that variations are all good and dandy, but unless you provide some novel material, humanity might fall into a nietzscheian obsession with the return of the eternal same, and we all know how that turned out. I'd call this an improvement on the famed 2008(TM) when you decided that all the year needed was a reissue of Blazing Saddles. Fair enough, it was a good movie, and we still love it, but Obama is spending his bloody good time setting up that faux village that the evil bankers and odd sorts are supposed to hullobalooba about, isn't he? Oh wait.... As always i'm just waiting for this to collapse into Lukuss, and luckily, it didn't happen this year either, thanks for that. It's going to be horrible, but we'll persevere. Which brings me back to another theme..... Can you please get it into your head that Socialism in One Country does not work? We have it here in Norway, and we're scared the fuck out of how the rest of the world is acting! Could your next update (2013(TM)2014(TM)) please contain bugfixes that enable us to own vital resources and infrastructure collectively on a global level? That would be neat-o! There is room for competition, and that room is in the non-vital services, let it thrive there and wither elsewhere. Sincerely A concerned and recklessly unanonymous Norwegian.
