* SelfEmpowermentAnthem: [[http://somethinghappens.keenspot.com/d/20080730.html This strip]] has one that a teenage boy is rocking out to via his computer... until [[BigBrotherIsWatching he's recognized (somehow, there's no visible webcam) and the computer stops the song]] to inform him that the song's message still applies to him but with several unspecified conditions, caveats, and codicils that the speaker doesn't have enough time to list then. They're all on file with the RIAA if the boy needs them though, and he's told that it's nothing personal, they just have to cover themselves for legal reasons. He's still permitted to "'rock out' to the music if it helps", but it doesn't. The song then continues, but he (understandably) no longer in the mood for it.
