You have one day to rule the world from behind the scenes as you temp at the Vast Conspiracy HQ
You can make any ten changes to the world that you want, but they most be minor enough that nobody notices the Vast Conspiracy (TM) so you can't create world peace or religious harmony or gas for a buck a gallon. What would you do?

1. The inventor of Bratz dolls will be forced to register as a sex offender.
2. No radio station will play Stone Sour's "Through Glass" ever again.
3. Vast research funds will be devoted to the search for a vegan cheese substitute that doesn't suck.
4. All police forces will be required to list "non-assholes" as an underrepresented minority and show efforts to hire from the non-asshole community.
5. The break room television and the PA system at my place of employment will suffer sudden and inexplicable failures.
6. Textbook prices will no longer be enough to make a working student cry.
7. Sunflower Drive-in will open a second location just up the street from me.
8. Grocery stores and gas stations everywhere will sell Tings and Blue Sky Root Beer with Ginseng.
9. My mechanic will offer mobile service or open a location across the street from my school.
10. An accident at the phone company will leave telemarketers and televangelists only able to call or take calls from each other.

You?
