moltons dream

I participate in an infomercial advertising a book which claims to offer readers the ability to contact angels and use their powers to do anything from pick winning lottery numbers to contact the souls of loved ones who have passed on. To the complete ignorance of all involved, the book we are plugging really provides thinly disguised incantations for raising the dead as flesh eating zombies and has been written by the members of a secret doomsday cult masquerading as new age philosophers. As we talk about how the book has changed our life and quote generous extracts from it's contents we are totally oblivious to the havoc we are about to wreak on humanity, all we want is our money. A few weeks later networks across the country begin transmitting the infomercial during late night ad breaks and within two days humanity is suffering the consequences of my participation in a poorly thought out marketing strategy.
