Water on the Brain


Having established that it has absolute control over the Outer Party members and proles by making tobacco, fatty foods and God knows what else double-plus ungood, the British government will now extends its dead hand over the counterrevolutionary evil of bottled water-- at least, if the Thoughtpoliceman natural resource commissioner has his way:
We have to make people think that it's unfashionable just as we have with smoking. We need a similar campaign to convince people that this is wrong.
And the environment minister chimes in his support, saying that the bourgeois menace of bottled water:
(B)orders on being morally unacceptable.
Expect to soon see Emmanuel Goldstein holding up a bottle Evian at the Two Minute Hate.

    I'm starting to think that there's something in the tap water over in Old Blimey. Something like lead maybe?

    There's nothing wrong with tap-water. I don't buy bottled water for the simple reason that you're paying for something you get out of a tap at home for free.
