Intro PDFC Media, a corporation…who cares This program is brought to you by the PDFC Media Group. Text Ukraine to 2022 to make a donation to the Ukraine Humanitarian Crisis Appeal. Learn about how we are supporting Ukrainian humanitarian efforts at pdfcmedia.com — This program is brought to you by PDFC Media. PDFC Media: sit back, relax, and enjoy…FOREVER Preface In 1996, Bill Gates wrote “Content is where I expect much of the real money will be made on the internet…Those who succeed will propel the internet forward as a market place of ideas, experiences, and products—a market place of content.” 26 years later… “Content Creator” [Shot like a YouTube video with a green screen. Starts out as a YouTube podcaster, but eventually moves into Jackie reenacting band scenes in front of the green screen.] Used to love making music, But now I’m making content. (Heeee is a content creator!) Used to love making music, But now I’m making content. (Heeee is a content creator!) Used to play a set and mingle, But now you’re streaming singles. (Heeee is a content creator!) Hustling the socials To break out of the locals. (Heeee is a content creator!) I must admit that it’s deflating, Farting out all these creations. And a bit humiliating– All in the name of search engine optimization Ooooo I’m a content creator Optimization Ooooo I’m a content creator I used to make the music, Now, I am a content creator. Stinger: PDFC Media: with great content comes great responsibility “It’s Been Two Weeks (Here is Your Content)” [Shot like an Instagram live post, Jackie, the main character shares infographics, memes, and his own personal peg board notes to get across the points he's making.] It’s been two weeks, It’s been two weeks, It’s been two weeks Here is your content. It’s been two weeks; did you forget about me? Did you forget my band when you refreshed your feed? It’s been two weeks, and you forgot already? I mean, it’s been…two weeks Here is your content…Here is your content…Here is your content… You tell a friend, they tell a friend, they tell a friend, they tell a friend, they tell a friend– Follow, follow, like, and subscribe. It never ends, It never ends, It never ends, It never ends, It never ends…I Made you all this stuff, High quality? Not so much. Tap the bell, and share with a friend. In two weeks, start it all up again. In two weeks, start it all up again. Again… Please tell a friend, Please tell a friend, Please tell a friend, Please tell a friend, It never ends, It never ends, It never ends, please tell a friend Tell a fucking friend already, Jesus. It’s been two weeks, It’s been two weeks, It’s been two weeks Here is your content. It’s been two weeks, It’s been two weeks, It’s been two weeks Here is your content. Interstitial: Have you seen my sister? Not since she joined that cult. "Malcontent (Tap the Heart)" [Shot like an Instagram live video again. …When describing sister, cut away to FB photos and posts in the Children of the 6Th Generation (Cot6G) Facebook Group. Everytime the words "Tap the Heart" are sung, show the explosion of hearts that happens when one taps the heart during a Livestream.] Are you not content with your content? As fast as I can make it you cannot be sated. My sister joined a cult last year. My mind is feeling fractured and I cannot seem to fake it. So, here is some more content Drag your thumb across the glass, and… Tap the Heart Tap the heart Tap the heart; she came home for the holiday. Tap the Heart Tap the heart Tap the heart; she said their killing us with our smartphones. Tap the Heart Tap the heart Tap the heart; you're skin and bones… Here, have some content. It doesn't hit, oh shit, now what Gets wetter as it dries, just… Tap the Heart Tap the heart Tap the heart; it's been two weeks Tap the Heart Tap the heart Tap the heart; has anybody heard from my sister? Tap the Heart Tap the heart Tap the heart; you're skin and bones. Tap the Heart Tap the heart Tap the heart; have some more content. Tap the Heart Tap the heart Tap the heart; she joined a cult last year. Tap the Heart Tap the heart Tap the heart; has anybody heard from my sister? Tap the Heart Tap the heart Tap the heart; here, have some content. Tap the Heart Tap the heart Tap the heart; it's been two weeks. … Hey… …No, I haven't heard from her. You? …Uh huh… No, I saw someone posted on Facebook. I texted, I called–I can't get through To her. …All right, if you hear from her, just hit me up–let me know. I'm just worried is all. All right. I'll see you later. Oh, check out my new song. I posted it–it's on Instagram. Interstitial: I can’t sleep—what happened to my sister? Can’t sleep, can’t sleep Is she okay? Can’t sleep, can’t sleep, What has she gotten herself into now? Can’t sleep, can’t sleep… "Follow: Cot6G" [Jackie is driving in the middle of the night. When he eventually arrives at the Cot6G house, it is a brick ranch-style home, the gutters are in disrepair, and one of the windows is boarded. The screen door's screen is in tatters, and it doesn't shut all the way. Inside, it is candle lit, and the walls are partially painted, but it looks like they stopped halfway through. Although the house is small, it is packed with people. Claustrophobia and agoraphobia on steroids.] She was a difficult child, in case you couldn't tell. I wonder why she puts us Through this hell. I wonder why she puts us Through this hell. …(cult theme) Driving through the night, I Couldn't sleep, kept thinking, "Got to find my sister." Didn't have an inkling Of what I'd actually do the moment that I found her. Driving through the night to Laconia, Indiana. …(cult theme–increased intensity) Pull into the driveway, Double check the address. Lights are on inside, A white-haired man approaches. I smile and wave too hard, It's over-compensation. He smiles back and says, "Welcome to the home of the children Of the 6th Generation" I ask about my sister, but His eyes start blinking, And roll back in his head. Inside, a group starts singing. The white-haired man is frothing At the mouth with bile. I grab his shoulder; suddenly, He starts to smile. He says, "My name is Theo. Come in." Come in, come in, Follow me Come in, come in, I follow him She was a difficult child, In case you couldn’t tell. I wonder why she puts us through this hell. Theo walks me in, and I say, "Where's my sister, and why is everybody singing?" He says, "She is sleeping. You can see her in the morning." Then, he offers me some coffee and some donuts. They're delicious. He grabs my hand, pulls me along, and things get blurry. He says, Come in, come in, Everything is blurry Follow me Two weeks, it’s been two weeks it’s been two weeks, it’s been two weeks I feel funny Come in, come in, Everything is blurry Follow me I feel funny I used to make the music, Please tell a friend, please tell a friend, please tell a friend, But now I am a content creator Two weeks, Please tell a friend, it’s been two weeks, please tell a friend, it’s been two weeks, please tell a friend, it’s been two weeks Oh, I am a content creator He is a content creator Follow Tap the heart, tap the heart, tap the heart He is a content creator Are you not content with your content Like the long lost shadow of a long lost self, Follow.

Follow: D2C What was in the coffee? My eyes are itchy and my nose is runny Everything is blurry. Something's off, and I'll feel funny. I made you all this stuff, High quality? No, of Assam theot so much. Tap the heart. Theo says, “Try not to worry Everything is fine, my friend. Gonna introduce you now To the Children of the 6th Generation” All I can say to that is Ha, Theo, you look like a kaleidoscope. Suddenly, I’m in a room full of people Wearing black field jackets over white t-shirts With skinny jeans and Tentree Harlow Boater Hats Theo takes the stage, and the group starts to clap. I want to run away but something’s holding me back And the group starts chanting We must be more careful We must be more careful what we put into our heads. We must not let the evil creep into our softened minds. Death to content. D 2 C. If you want to kill a snake, bring the knife down on its neck. Death to the content. D 2 C. Death to the content. D 2 C. Death to the content. D 2 C. Death to the content. D 2 C. Everything is blurry, I feel funny. Then Theo steps to the mic, and he says… Death to the content. D 2 C. Today, we face a different kind of urgency, well, it's urgent to the Death to the content. D 2 C. students listening here before me. It's late, and so I'll try to put Death to the content. D 2 C. it briefly as I can; and this message isn't being broadcast for obvious reasons (laughter). The Internet Age and all of its consequences…disastrous. Sets us back each time the tech advances. Advancing like an army on a besieged city…and now at last the Great Recycling can begin! I step outside to get some air, afraid For my sister and myself Because he's kind of making sense, In case you couldn't tell, All this content has put me through hell. All this content has put me through hell. We must be more careful what we're putting in our heads. All this content has put me through hell. We must be more careful what we're putting in our heads. All this content has put me through hell. Death to the content. Death to the content. All this content has put me through hell. I follow I follow I follow [Rumbling under the floorboards of the house. A scream. Jackie does not realize it yet, but The Cot6G have kidnapped Senator Laurie Tyler-Brown]
