DURING THE RLN SPECIAL ON "THE MUTANT CURE"
((What follows is the details of the Zero broadcast as described in week change. These broadcasts are done over top of the RLN planned ads during the special in every market. Attempts to trace the broadcast are narrowed down to pay phones in most major cities. Zero is standing before his flag in every one, and gesticulating accordingly.))
[[During the course of the interruptions of ads by Zero, he makes several facts very clear. He offers many statistics at first, analyzing the major networks of many countries, including RLN, the BBC, Al-Jazeera, the NHK, Univision, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Korean Central Television, Chinese Central Television, and nearly every single major and nationalized network that exists in the world. He speaks in generalities, marking a few standouts in terrible and good treatment of mutants in their news coverage. He’s collected data on the portrayal of mutants and those they affect in various ways. Positive and negative, whether or not the ratio of crimes committed by mutants vs. those committed by humans is in line with the national crime averages for those countries. He obviously can’t go into all of this in detail, but if one visits www.theworldiswatching.org, one can view a full body of data for nearly every country in the world. Also included is how many crimes committed against mutants would have been considered a hate crime if the victim’s status as a mutant had been protected from discrimination.
Later, he offers statistics regarding the homelessness, jobless, and other assorted statistics among those that have tested positive for the X-gene, and compared over time. Over the course of the next few commercial breaks, he offers a few personal stories, from people from different walks of life, and even one sympathetic regular human who cannot marry the man of her dreams in the church she had been attending all of her life because her fiancee’s mutation has turned his lower half into the legs of a satyr.
But the climax of this, is when Zero levels his most damning accusation. That Ben Gleck has committed a truly horrific act and has, so far, successfully kept it from coming to light. No more. Zero openly and in no uncertain terms accuses Ben Gleck of stealing the identities and breaking into the accounts of several people over the last decade. The details Zero gives are rather specific, but he does not offer any proof of them for a long moment. Until a police report comes up on the screen. The victim’s name is redacted, but it’s clear from the portions available on the screen that the authorities tracked the internet activity to the neighborhood in which Ben Gleck formerly resided in before moving into his posh Los Angeles mansion. Thus, formally accusing Ben Gleck of stealing millions of dollars from innocent Americans, all of whom are X-gene positive.]]
((THESE ACCUSATIONS ARE NOT CONFIRMED, OF COURSE. This is a clear plan to discredit Ben Gleck and the entire network. Feel free to post reaction, or character's comments to online video site uploads, memes, macros, etc. Zero's blog and the URL given above are both fair game. 8D))
