Tell me we don't live in a dystopian cyberpunk future.
Tell me we don't live in a dystopian cyberpunk future. Our stupid future-cigarettes carry viruses. This goes right along with that "Man smoking e-cigarette must be futuristic bounty hunter" story from the Onion.

ReplyDeletePerfect plot device for a heist movie. How does the rag-tag band of protagonists get a virus onto the mark's computer when it's in a secure location? Just so happens he smokes e-cigs.
ReplyDeleteJustin Steele cigarettes 1.0 just infected your wetware-meatbody. Vat organs should clear that right up.
