Cheese; Anyone else got some interesting issues?

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the lurkiest of them all?
I recently got the following issue in Utopian Simulacrum:

The Issue
The popular daily cartoon strip "Barry the mouse" has always been highly critical of the political system within Utopian Simulacrum, but in recent weeks the cartoon has depicted the main characters throwing melted cheese at unpopular politicians. Inspired by this, protestors armed with fondue sets stormed a government building, cheesing off several government officials.

The Debate
"It's just a bit of harmless fun!", says Samuel Trax, creator of Barry the mouse, while spraying your advisors with melted cheddar. "If the government were doing a better job people wouldn't feel the need to throw cheese at them. We should be free to express our displeasure in any way we choose. Besides, my cartoon books are selling like hot cakes, and that's got to be good for the economy, right?"
[Accept]


"This has got to stop!" insists Billy-Bob Shiomi, head of the censorship board. "I spent 3 hours this morning scraping wensleydale out of my hair! Arrest these lunatics! The protestors and the people responsible for this vile cartoon, throw them all into jail!"
[Accept]


"Arrrrrgh!" screams lactose-intolerant Roxanne Broadside, a member of the public safety board, as incoming rounds of mature gouda smash the windows and claim the suits of several nearby advisors. "As I've been saying for many years now, cheese is a dangerous weapon in the wrong hands and should be outlawed. Ban all cheese now, and enforce it!"


Needless to say, I chose option 3, even if it is a bit against my policy, because it was the funniest. Anyone else got some nifty issues to share?

Not really. The doomsday easter egg isn't bad though.

I got one about Anarchy in Zeelar. Option one was to institute new laws to eliminate anarchy, option two was to leave things as they are, and option three was to find all of the violent places in the country and put TV cameras there. Then sell it as a TV show to foreign countries.

Of course I took that one.



Wasn't the doomsday easter egg about pushing a button?

Last night on DBC news: A man was charged with highest grade cheese trafficking in Abnar today when he brought 20 kilograms of the smelliest Papillon Roquefort worth around $1800, in his suitcase.
