- I think the best part of bb's Mondo 2000 parody is the "Dark Person &
- Sandi Shoreline's Neocortical Nutriment Sales Pyramid, Inc.", ad.
- It exemplifies the "jump on the cyberpunk bandwagon and make a quick
- buck" attitude. The quote of choice, summing up the cyber-poser attitude:
-
- "I take loads of NeuroShock. I like it when I'm watching _Obese Kitten_
- videos, playing _SimHell_, listening to _Strawberry Alarmclock DVA_, or
- perusing the lastest copy of _mONDO mONDO_ looking for more cyberpunk
- stuff to purchase in an attempt to define myself through consumerism"
