Close. I'll 'beat my dead horse' (or ride my hobby horse)
"Teams Big tobacco & Big Pharmaceutical.
No analysis of either of these two teams is possible without looking at them together. They are, and always have been, the two top teams in the league. The National Governments who control the game and profit from it, have set the rules in such a way as no one can beat them."
... without the rules and biases from Gov't., this game is over.
Unless, I missed it, they've left the fact of BT joining the vape Team and that changes much of the game. And, as a 'color commentator', I'd mention some of the backpedalling ANTZ.
edit: " Team Big
tobacco does not just stand motionless as they usually do. Instead, some of them whip off their strips and change into the same colours as Team Vape. They move over and mingle with Team Vape so it is difficult to see which team is which, and in their hands, they hold
electronic cigarettes.
The other teams, the ANTZ and even the Governing Body up in the Directors boxes stand and scream with rage. They call foul. It is too late, the game has started."
Loved these:
Team Big Pharmaceutical produce the cure which, of course, must not work.
E Cigarette, and, Personal Vaporiser. It is important at this stage of the description to distinguish between the two. (If you are ANTZ, and by some remote chance you have read this far, you can skip the next part, because if you have not learned it by now, you never will.)
The
stated objective of the Murder Game is to prevent people from smoking cigarettes. The
actual objective of the Murder Game is, in the case of the big two, to make profit, and in the case of the other teams, to profit and to maintain the status quo with regard to their material positions and with regard to their reputations and high standing in society. Being upstanding, respectable and influential members of our society requires a great deal of skill in lying, cheating and backstabbing.
Team Vape is playing to achieve the
stated objective.
Half time! ...by the ANTZ
