Originality Outlawed in Springfield

Simpsons Springfield

Mayor Quimby, obviously suffering from a major hangover, declared -- in a drunken rage -- that any trace of original work to be outlawed in Springfield, effective immediately. The populace seems to be unaffected by this new unconstitutional law, probably due to the fact that most of their actions are based off the popular television show created by Matt Groening. This show is, of course, The Simpsons (http://www.thesimpsons.com). Other die-hard fans, paticularly Professor John Frink, have gone to the extreme of converting our suburban little town into a 2D cartoon world based directly off Groening's copyrighted work.

But getting back to Quimby's unreasonable declaration: all original work that is found, will be burned. Experts are appalled by this action commenting, "Outlawing originality makes no sense. This illegalization was completely arbritrary and will force the town's works into a standstill. Technology advances will be halted, new ideas vanquished. We're going to be sitting here watching reality shows for eternity, not to mention the endless rip-offs of cheesy comedies. Even so, a simple town cannot control the minds of everyone either, so while people may not be producing original ideas, they can still think it." The above man was immedistely executed by three men in dark suits... most likely for forming an original thought -- one that opposes Quimby's plan.

I asked Mayor Quimby today of how he is going to deal with controlling people's minds.

Well, Kent, there's really nothing we can do. Thinking of a new solution to this problem would be in violation of the law itself! However, we can do as other lunatic fringe groups and authors of books dealing with a government monitored future have: we can either burn these heathens at the stake or set up a system codenamed "Big Brother." Or we could just plug everyone into a computer virtual reality world and monitor their thoughts from an outside source. Either way, this will be dealt with... you can count on that!

More details will be provided later after we plagarize the reports of competing stations.

Night all.

Ah. With such a slow response from the rest of the world, I have jumped to the conclusion that everyone adores this thought. I therefore declare originality to be outlawed WORLDWIDE.

Muahahahahaha!

Muahahaha! Without no negative response to this illegalization from the world, I must also assume that the entire universe wants this law to be enacted upon them! Very well... it is done! Originality has been outlawed all out through the universe. Bwahahahahaha!

It would not violate the law against originality to abrogate the law itself, since there were laws abrogated before. It is not original to make a new law stating 'law <number> is abrogated.' since it was also done before in your country.

You don't have the power to change Rejistanian laws (well only via the UN)! Originality is the future (And SS is no part of it)!
