    I am doing an english project over 1984. I was wondering if I could get some questions answered.

    The first one is about the face thats EVERYWHERE. I've seen it on stop signs, electrical boxes, mtv, and a bunch of other faces. It's a little black and white sticker of a face(kinda looks like chucky). Does anyone know what the story behind this is, or do you have a site about it?

    The second question concerns an article posted on here recently. I will look for it, but if someone could help me along I would appreciate it.;) It was about a town installing a bunch of surveillence cameras so they could watch almost anyone.

    Thanks for your help.

    Is the face Calvin, from Calvin and Hobbes? Geez, I had no idea that was a sign of big brother. Puts that whole thing in a new light.

    This is the BB story you're looking for on the town with cameras:

    the site link wasn't working when I checked, but Google had a cache here :

    http://www.google.com/search?q=cach...-bronow.html+aclu+town+cameras&hl=en&ie=UTF-8

    that takes a few sec. to load, but gets you the article.

    Search Google for "Camera + town + aclu " and you'll get other privacy issues. One town has cameras in the restrooms in the park - guess they want the george micheal exclusive video rights.

    As an aside, you have a few minutes to change the title of your thread after posting. IF the edit feature is working, simply edit your post and retype the title.

    It's not really a sign of big brother. We just have to relate them, so were gonna make up some BS about how those stickers are everywhere, just like the posters of Big Brother in the book.
