It was broadcast on Friday Feb 16th. It is a well-known fact that much illegal, pornographic and dangerous material is being distributed via the Internet, and that various groups are fighting to rid the world of this. Now, rumor has it that many of these groups are also planning a campaign against a well-known way of distributing said material, by completely banning the use of paper. "It's everywhere", says a young so-called papernerd. "You just can't stop it, even if some people use it to distribute illegal material." Says a Christian People's Party representative, "The only way to stop this problem from destroying our society is to take away the means by which it is done."
