Under surging public opinion and pressure from the royal family, the prime minister had sex with the pig. It was a quiet afternoon, and the streets of London were empty. A docile pig who has been sedated is enjoying a delicious afternoon tea, a pot of pig food that looks good. When the Prime Minister stood behind it and took off his pants, it was making a "humming" sound contentedly. Before that, the young and beautiful princess beloved in Britain was kidnapped. There is only one condition for the kidnappers to release the princess, that is, before four o'clock in the afternoon, the prime minister will have sex with the pig and broadcast live on TV. The Prime Minister was woken up by one phone call in the early morning until now. There is no progress in the investigation of the kidnapping incident. The shocking news about his going to have sex with a pig has already spread all over the world through Twitter. The staff at No. 10 Downing Street tried to prevent further spread of the rumors and issued a ban to the TV station to prohibit the spread of this news. But it was too late, and the British people with their mobile phones almost knew about it. The world's major media are also following up on reports. British TV stations can't sit still. They ignore the Downing Street ban and start rolling live broadcasts of this touching kidnapping case. No. 10 Downing Street was running at full speed. They tried to find the best way to save the princess and save the Prime Minister from humiliation. They wanted to find an actor to pretend to be the prime minister and have sex with the pig; they sent special forces to rescue the princess, but all attempts failed, and the princess's whereabouts remained unknown. The people were all shocked by this news. They thought it was a humiliation to the Prime Minister. 80% of the audience interviewed did not agree that the Prime Minister had sex with the pig. In the afternoon, the TV station received a severed finger and a video of the princess having her finger removed. Once the incident was reported, public opinion changed dramatically. Polls show that more than 80% of the people want the Prime Minister to rescue the princess, no matter how. According to the kidnapper’s request, there is only one way. The prime minister lit his cigarette one by one, staring out the window blankly. The queen personally called, asking him to ensure the safety of the princess; the wife's eyes were full of tears, intending to see hope in the eyes of the prime minister, her position could not be easily replaced by a pig. The staff, consultants, and think tanks of Downing Street kept making plans for him. As four o'clock in the afternoon approached, the only way to ensure the safety of the princess was to have sex with the pigs. All the senior officials around the Prime Minister can do is pass the order, "Arrange a pig, mother!" The Prime Minister's motorcade slowly drove towards a warehouse outside London, where a pig and a cameraman were waiting for him. This is the plot of the first episode of the TV series "Black Mirror". I was impressed by the boldness and imagination of the screenwriter Charlie Brooke. In this episode, the prime minister and his wife have a young baby. At that time (2011), the youngest daughter of British Prime Minister Cameron had just turned one year old. According to a NPC doctor I know, this drama is "full of enlightenment." It reflects the attitudes and reactions of the three groups when they encounter public emergencies. The first is the government. When encountering emergencies that have a negative impact on the government, the government's first response is to "block." In the play, the rescue plan failed; the early release of the princess is unknown; the prime minister had sex with the pig under unnecessary circumstances. This series of weird plots all reflect the inefficiency of the government. The prime minister's choice to have sex with the pig to rescue the princess under the helplessness and weighing also reflects the complicated power relationship between the British political parties, the government and the royal family. Let’s look at the media’s performance in this incident, Charlie. Brooke understands the operating characteristics of the media well. In the play, the suspect posted the video of the abduction of the princess on the social media twitter as soon as possible. Because of its viral spread, it is almost impossible for the government to block this incident. Internet users from various countries and the British public became aware of this incident in time. Traditional media are slow to respond to emergencies. They are restricted by the conditions of their production and broadcasting, as well as various rules and regulations. They have to estimate the consequences of dissemination and be cautious in their words and deeds. However, when viewers are dissatisfied with the slowness of traditional media, especially television, the traditional media will use the pressure of the audience and the market to negotiate with the government, and then quickly follow up on the incident. In the play, a female reporter who is crazy about news is deeply impressed. In order to obtain first-hand news about the princess being kidnapped, she did not hesitate to lure the staff of Downing Street to obtain intelligence, and she risked herself. The princess may be caught. At the kidnapping place, look for the whereabouts of the princess with a mobile phone camera. The female reporter was finally regarded as a criminal suspect by the special forces and shot in the ankle with a gun. The special forces also exploded the mobile phone that fell next to her with one shot. The female reporter screamed for this. The screenwriter’s arrangement expresses his contempt for the media’s unscrupulous behavior to obtain news, and believes that the media and its leaders should pay for this. After all, the news corporation's wiretapping scandal broke out in the UK not long ago, and Murdoch's "News of the World" was suspended for this reason. Throughout the "news incident", British audiences can be said to have enjoyed a visual feast-watching the prime minister's sexual behavior in front of the TV. The screenwriter developed the symptom of voyeurism in perverted psychology, and developed the original personal voyeurism in a private environment into the public's exploration of the private sphere in public. The change in the public’s attitude before and after receiving the finger-cut video reflects the spiral of silence in communication. The majority dominates the opinions and attitudes of the minority, and the opinions of the majority have gradually grown to become public opinion. Public opinion and media reports influence each other until they influence government decision-making. In the play, after the TV audience learned that the prime minister was about to have sex with the pig to save the princess, cheers broke out from the crowd. But when they watched the Prime Minister's intercourse with pigs clearly in front of the TV, expressions of surprise, sympathy and even disappointment and sadness appeared on everyone's faces. It turns out that the development results of the things they supported were not what they originally expected, but whether right or wrong, they have become the promoters of history. Even rational individual citizens can easily become mobs when they gather together, accepting emotions rather than rational domination, and doing things that they thought were correct at the time, and might not be able to say anything in the future, and would not want to look back. The princess was released, her fingers were intact, and the suspect, who was later called a "performance artist" by the media and the public, committed suicide after successfully fulfilling the prime minister's bestiality goals. The Prime Minister received a higher approval rating, and when he returned home, his wife no longer wanted to sleep in the same bed with the man who had sex with pigs.
