Civil War Sends Indignant Classes Below Stairs
The grumpiest, most irritable population the World has ever seen* finally blows a gasket when the internet goes down for a month and AOL put up billboard adverts saying "We apologise for teh inconvenience." Unable to vent their rage on the web the population take to the streets with bottles, spades, hammers and sarcasm and vent it on each other. It is not a single civil war but 65 million individual campaigns; everyone against everyone else and their annoying habits. Conflicts spawn bloodier conflicts as people become irritated by the inability of their neighbours to kill each other properly.
After the red mist has cleared UN troops identify the most livid survivors and give them what they want - complete isolation, 3 miles underground in wooden boxes, set on a gigantic wheel. The boxes are equally spaced around the wheel to ensure that no one is any closer to anyone else than they need to be, and the constant rotation ensures that no one can lay claim to an inferior location to everyone else. It's a London Eye for the terminally irritable.
*the middle class irritability count for February is greater than that of the entire developed world for the previous 50 years |
