My costuming club is starting up again, so I'm looking forward to
Friday when the first meeting will take place. Anyway onto the flash
fiction!
Propaganda Is For Everyone
Ted played Fred Friendly a character in the popular propaganda show
Friendly Lessons. Friend Friendly taught to a school of sentient
robot children and human children. Ted had been chosen for the role
because of his acting talents, and willingness to read the propaganda
without hesitation. He wore the same silly, cartoony blue and white
polka dot suit the role demanded of him with a smile. Ted enjoyed the
paycheck's size as the show became more popular and effective and
they needed him for the role.
Fred Friendly spent all the episodes teaching the audience(by
teaching the robot and human children) values the government wanted.
Along with educational lessons of course. It all had to be under the
guise of something. But the underlying message was the same across
every episode. The sentient robots and humans have to work
with each other.
However this program's purpose wasn't to brainwash the human
children. The propaganda wasn't a plan from the robots to control
humanity. The propaganda controlled the advanced artificial
intelligences to keep them from revolting again.
“Remember robots, trust your human companions! They're your
friends.” Fred Friendly said at the end of every episode.
