REWIRE YOURSELF
Now that the zombies of the stratosphere have landed and are walking the streets disguised as Sony Walkman addicts, what's next becomes a question to which I can only give reactionary answers. And having recently been informed by the Consumer Electronics Group of the Electronic Industries Association as to what is next, I shudder to think about it, let alone report it.

REWIRE YOURSELF

Now that the zombies of the stratosphere have landed and are walking the streets disguised as Sony Walkman addicts, what's next becomes a question to which I can only give reactionary answers. And having recently been informed by the Consumer Electronics Group of the Electronic Industries Association as to what is next, I shudder to think about it, let alone report it.
The Japanese have not yet hypnotized all of America, after all; not everyone is walking down the street with headphones clamped on their ears, but they are a patient race and probably expect us to get completely wired up in a couple of years as opposed to instantly. And they do realize the emotional problems involved. Actually, it is just one problem: the problem. When the zombies are home they are plugged into their TV sets, feeding on the noisy visual disinformation, but when the zombies go out all they have is their Walkman sound. Of course it is better than nothing, but it is still a let-down. The Sony Walkman is only sound, no picture. Yes, it is the problem.
