^^If this really means that much to you, then provide a decent title. You have thus far only given one alternate title, which is honestly too long. I have given three that could be substituted if necessary and, if I have to, I will relaunch this trope with one of those titles. Thus far, you have not managed to convince anyone that this is a snowclone, you have only claimed that it is one, and pushed aside any argument to the contrary. The litmus test for snowcloneness is "Always assume that yours will be the first page on the Wiki that someone reads." This page does not rely on anyone having read the trope BigBrotherIsWatching before they read this page, or even being aware that their is such a trope, and that is all that matters.
If I was to make a trope titled "Four Score and Seven Beers Ago", it would not be a snowclone unless their was a trope titled "Four Score and Seven Years Ago" already on the site. If someone was to later make a trope titled "Four Score and Seven Pizzas Ago", unless their was a substantial difference between them, the new trope would be an obvious snowclone of the last.
