The CYBERPUNK game talks endlessly about how life on The Edge is daring and dangerous - and then, every so often, striking a wise-guy street-smart tone, i
offers earnest advice like you get from your grandma (e.g.: "A job? Yeah, even in the Dark Future, you gotta pay the bills, chombatta. And you ''want'' a job..." -- page 48; "You can make a copy [of protected software] ... but think what happens if you screw up..." -- page 131). Remember, boys and girls, the path of least resistance is good citizenship.''

->''"How rebellious!... In a conformist sort of way."''

->You might be one of those people who thinks hipsters ruin everything they touch. You might think that 21st century youth culture--once a cauldron of sex, style and subversion--has been neutered and blanderized and ducked dry of any meaning and most of all, ''menace''. If so, you may want to stop reading now. Because the Borgcube has turned its attention to that last redoubt of rebellion, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hopeFgwApCM Satanism]]...I can't help but think of the rites of Cybele, the Queen of Heaven in the ancient world, whose blood-soaked priests would hack these not-Satanists to dogmeat on account of being so unspeakably lame.

->''"I hate comedians that are like, 'Fucking '''strap in''', motherfuckers, 'cuz I'm about to get really '''dangerous'''!" and then the next thing they always say is, 'The fucking [[FauxHorrific food on airplanes]] is BULLSHIT!!!' There is nothing safer than a comedian who tells you he's dangerous."''

->''"After summarily burying the entire roster as wusses and no-talents who hate the fans, after convincing the fans in attendance that they’d rather have [[Wrestling/TripleH Hunter]] as the GM than see wrestling matches, and after basically portraying himself as [[CanonSue the ultimate and sole babyface in the company]], Trips put on a show with the only three superstars who refused to strike: Wrestling/JohnCena, the ultimate company man; {{Wrestling/Sheamus}}, the new babyface; and Wrestling/CMPunk, a rebel who liked rebelling so much that he [[PimpMyRide rebelled against the rebels]].\\\
Yes, the same man who 'held the company hostage' that summer and refused to re-sign unless his outrageous demands were met now decided that protests were for pansies. Or commies. Or something else that didn’t conform to a [[TestosteronePoisoning Cold War standard of the ideal American man]]. 'Hippies' was the word he used, actually. Twice in the same sentence, in fact. Somehow, everyone remembers his 'pipe bomb' {{worked shoot}} from the summer but forgets about the 'hippie sit-in… like [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment a bunch of hippies]]' remark, which was the dumbest line [[Wrestling/VinceMcMahon Vince]] had ever fed anyone since that 'anal bleeding' business a few weeks before."''

->''"Besides...what little girl (or grown-up woman) back in 1976 took ''Series/CharliesAngels'' as a stealth feminist manifesto? I see that observation often when I read reviews and TV histories that mention the show (just listen to those unintentionally hilarious interviews with headcase DrewBarrymore, when she was flogging those dreadful [[Film/CharliesAngels movie versions of the show]]). However, I can't help but feel those generalizations are coming from writers and pundits who really ''need Charlie's Angels'' to be about what they want it to be about, extrapolating out nice-sounding, "important" theories for their political agendas, rather than acknowledging how ''Charlie's Angels'' actually plays: as pretty but disposable rot. Anyway...aren't most women too smart to take this kind of fantasy seriously? ''Charlie's Angels'' was a guys show first and last, despite protestations to the contrary, [[TheyFightCrime a standard detective series]] given a new twist by featuring not one, not two, but three hot babes with the-then novel approach of putting as much of their skin on display as possible, just for the sheer sake of such exhibition."''
