Scope and Contents

Teens from across the US are abducted and sent to an "Indoctrination Camp" where they become subjects in an attempt to conform them to mainstream society as punishment for offenses such as "sleeping at a Brittany Spears concert," "gothic style of dress," or even "protesting WTO." At the camp the abductees are constantly monitored and are forced to listen to a barrage of mantras such as "a fat body is not a fit body," "the color is blue," and "a white smile is a happy smile," while being reprogrammed into consumer-driven drones.
