I think the fact that they were going to detonate them with rigged iPods and Cellphones is very disturbing. Then again, this is the technological age where toddlers code viruses. In a way, it doesn't surprise me.

EX:
--Rock and songs with depressing lyrics are generally found with the 'goths' or 'emo' kids.
--Rap, R&B, and Light Rock, are found with the popular crowd.

The school censors the music at dances and assemblies. I've heard so many kids protesting that their "favorite" songs aren't being played. When the teachers and principal say "It's because of the raunchy lyrics," the kids who are whining respond, "We listen to the beat." I've seen them dirty dance and sing the lyrics without even thinking about it. It affects them whether they want to believe it or not.

-- When they have the "flu", all the vomit is pea soup.

-- When they keep telling you to eat a cream puff saying, "Ye shall be as gods!"

-- If they say they're for world peace only after every person has taken their mark.

Well, we might still get decent coverage, but I highly doubt it.

The Tommyknockers by Stephen King.

If he had just shortened the descriptions and content of the first two parts of the book, it would have made a really fun read; however, for the first two thirds of the book it's just drug on and on with no real interesting points until the final section.
