[description]Your workaholic Finance Minister arrived five minutes late this morning, the first time you have ever seen @@HIM@@ late before. Apparently, @@HE@@ purchased the new mattress from Vikea, the "Artificial Kitten", heralded as the world’s most comfortable piece of furniture. Infuriated, @@HE@@ blames the mattress for @@HIS@@ tardiness.

[option]"That damned bed broke my streak of being on time!" fumes your Finance Minister, setting fire to your desk, which comes from Vikea. "It’s just way too comfortable for our own good! If a hard-working, productive @@DEMONYM@@ like me is seduced by its softness, surely the lazy bums most @@DEMONYMPLURAL@@ are will be! You must ban this mattress, and hold those Skandilundians in charge of Vikea responsible for attempting to weaken our economic ouput!"

[option]"You just want to blame someone for your being late," claims a spokesman for Vikea, using an axe to chop a chair made by a competitor in half. "This bed is the most comfortable, most pleasing thing ever made. Banning the population from comfortable sleep is just cruel. If you subsidise this noble invention, @@LEADER@@, we can lower the prices so that the poorer can also partake in this beauty. I can also throw in a discounted one for my favorite government official."

[option]"This mattress sounds totally radical, just like my awesome ideas!" exclaims your enthusiastic young intern, while sipping an eckie-cola. "Why don’t we just, like, buy this thing for everyone and have people work from home? I know some Tasmanians we can get to do the physical stuff for us, at a discount. Just pay them, and everyone can enjoy the immeasurable softness of this mattress."
