We Built This City 3

Plastonia - Media



I was always disappointed that our newspaper coverage amounted to a half-page photo in the SUN. It was a good photo and a big photo ... but who reads the SUN? Nobody, that's who.

The television coverage was a bit better, but in the parts where I was being interviewed they put the caption "John Brown" for my name and afterwards I had people saying to me, "I thought your name was Brett!" I always suspected that our boss, who was a bit nuts and like to create drama, did that on purpose.

The kids created their own newspaper for the city called The Plastonion Eagle and printed a few issues. Most of the content dealt with local politics and the performance of a kid named Martin who had run in the first election and formed the government:

Martin is fair but treated unfair. Martins lowers fines but people still refuse to pay them. The price deal is an incredible way for government to lose money to you but you greedy pigs want MORE.

This issue also polled the citizens and found that the government had a 45% approval rating.

Part of the reason Martin was able to snag the Presidential role was because he was good at organizing the other kids and formed the first company that, in the end, wound up swallowing all of the other kids' companies and almost became a monopoly, but we held a hearing and the government blocked the final merger.
