Bruce Schneier, crypto guy and security expert, has always been decrying what he calls “Movie-Plot Threats” – people worrying about specific outlandish scenarios instead of security in general. He is now having a contest to come up with the best movie-plot threat, and the winner will get an autographed copy of his book Beyond Fear, and, if he can manage, a phone call with a movie producer.
I might have to enter this one myself. Hmm, if the terrorists were somehow able to obtain the formula for the Big Mac secret sauce, then they could…
First!
How about cyborg monkey ninjas from space?
What would cyborg monkey ninjas from space do with Big Mac secret sauce?
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times: Don’t ever turn your back on a monkey! They just can’t be trusted…and they throw poo.
I’ve heard you can’t trust monkeys to take notes for you in class, according to my good friend, Brak.
shimauma,
Unless the whole lecture was about bananas.
Poor Brak.
Snakes on a Plane 2: Air Force 1.
Terrorist have:
Bird flu infested Naked Mole Rats -they’re naked and they’re mole rates
Aids infected Tasmanian Devils- not the real ones, the Warner brothers kind.
Democratic victimization specialist roaches, even after the nuclear holocaust, they keep on kicking.
I’m sorry it’s late and I’m just a trifle exhausted. Pay no attention to the woman behind the keyboard.
It could be a zombie horror flick. Human shields are forced to guard a biological weapons plant by a would be tyrant. The war is averted, but the human shields are unwittingly now carriers of a plague that slowly turns them into shambling devolved monkey creatures.
Few in the US will realize the danger, since anti-war activists will be infected first and this wont change their behavior one bit. We could center the story around a college campus where the Young Republicans must defend them selves from the growing zombie monkey threat while trying to escape the madness.
…use a racist womanizing lying saxophone player that was once the Governor of Arkansas, who also gets elected President, to further their nefarious agenda for two loooong terms. They use the “sauce” to control his li’l brain & get him to reduce America’s military strength by half, sponsor a bill that clearly favors mexican/foreign labor over domestic, and generally enable him to maintain his lecherous lifestyle, while sanctioning any dissenters to his & his frigid wife’s plans to replace the American value system with a McValue menu, thus spreading the evil sauce across the land.
Wait… this sounds familiar…
