Commercial Bodies

Apocalyptic levels of corporate tact continue to prevail in South Korea. Mere months after Starbucks' little gaffe involving some lazy executives relying on an infoslop generator, the manufacturers of a combat video game have committed another by not bothering to fake their own footage. Instead the game uses clips from the Seoul crowd disaster of Halloween 2022, which cost the lives of a hundred and sixty non-Caucasians. The intention was to evoke the consequences of an unauthorised reunification of the peninsula by the Democratic People's Republic, whose record of inflicting civilian casualties outside its own borders lags somewhat behind that of the Freedomising Powers and was therefore evidently in need of a vérité boost to its credibility.
