I Am the Downrater! All Your AC Are Belong to Me!

Chris Cameron
You have no chance to survive make your time.

I am the dreaded Downrater!! I have waited six months, and now it is time to unveil my evil master plan to literary success. You can do nothing to stop it, the future outcome is inevitable.

I have a team of forty-three monkeys on computers, whom I have trained to exploit the code of AC to downrate everyone else's articles. And I mean everyone. These monkeys also work for peanuts, well actually bananas but you get my point. I have also gotten them addicted to coffee and Red Bull.

I know there are thousands of articles here, but you would be surprised how productive these little guys are. In the last three days, they have downrated 35,603 articles! At the current pace, every article will have a 2.2 rating in three weeks.

Eventually every top-rated article on AC will be mine!

The other downraters here stand no chance against me and my monkeys. So don't think that you will defeat me by gathering the downraters together in some 'greater-good, save the website' cause. Your efforts will be for naught and I will revel in your futility. You hear me? Revel!

And it doesn't stop there!

I will then change the name of Associated Content to Chris Cameron's Associated Content, and sign an exclusive advertising deal with Dole. Bring your best shot, fellow downraters, I will have a hell of a lot of bananas.

The final coup de grace will be a publishing deal for my upcoming children's book: "Curious George and his Forty-Two Friends Conquer the Internet". It will sell millions of copies and spur a film franchise that will make Sony and Lucas weep with envy.

To take full advantage of the last part of my diabolical plan, I will buy the rights to the character and the stories and AC will be transformed into the portal for Curious George on the web. Shortly thereafter, I will retire to a life of luxury somewhere in a coastal town of Greece.

There is no way to stop me, so surrender now.

    heh heh heh...monkey see monkey do. J/K. :-) Great humor and I love that. I hate the Beatles...that's how I found you...anyway, rock on. And may I take the time to say the band disturbed is way cool. :-) That has nothing to do with anything. Nothing at all. Since I am known as the product review princess, as that's all I can manage to get paid for...and, I love it. You rock.

    Give the Monkeys their scheduled breaks! BEWARE of worker's rights. You'll have a strike on your hands soon if you're not careful.
