Terrorist THREAT?

Remember my talk with Maggie, I realized that blurring the lines between reality and fiction is a huge aspect of this project. I came up with an idea today that does this flawlessly. I watched a south park episode a while ago where they re dubbed the subtitles of a terrorist video for comical reasons in regards to airing a picture of Muhammad on national television. We could do exactly the same thing, except instead of doing this for the purposes of comedy, we could use this technique in order to make viewers actually believe that terrorists are making bomb threats to our country. Most people cannot understand the language of Arabic so there is nothing for them to question the subtitles being presented to them on the video screen.

We have a rough idea of what roles we will be playing over the next week or so to get work done faster. I will be focusing on media to put together a video for the crime scene, TJ will be writing the journal and filling in parts of the backstory as to allow the players to understand whats going on. Supa is in charge of the programming aspect for the picture recognition and bomb sequencer, and Joseph is making posters.
