We Change Your Channel

What a blast. Almost killed us. Where do you start to tell the story of the Betapunks? Not about what got done. But what we thought we'd try to do. Miserable failure is the funnest trip of all. For proof of this all you have to do is spend 15 minutes talking to some plump fatcat who thinks he's successful because his wallet's thick, and the moron hasn't noticed yet that his ankles and heart are calcifying into anchors sunk deep into routine and possession, from which the only escape is sudden death. The Betapunks and their hidden agenda, the eco-yuppie info bureau Ecomedia, were a spectacular flameout, so they're still alive, unlike the fatcats with the arthritic heart and ankle.
