[title] Good Grief
[desc] Visitors to government websites were bombarded with spammy images, insults and statements against your rule as they logged in this morning. It has been revealed that this mass griefing was orchestrated by anonymous hacktivists in a protest against your governance. Whilst the defacement has been reversed, many of your closest advisors are still processing the incident.

[option] "The defamatory content may be gone, but the damage is done!" exclaims Minister of Truth Victoria Mildew. "Can you believe some of this graffiti? '@@LEADER@@ consults poorly-constructed nation simulator games for policy decisions more than their own advisors'! Like, that can't be true. I don't believe it! I refuse to believe it! Yet, people probably do, because they saw it with their own eyes on a 'government website'! We need to focus all of our resources on busting all of the myths plastered on the websites with a thorough media campaign. Now THAT's a cause I can believe in!"
[effect] the government is viewed as being unable to make its own mind up
[option] "Those punks did WHAT!?" roars the perpetually-angry Police Commissioner @@RANDOMNAME@@ as @@HE@@ smashes up your computer monitor with his truncheon. "They think that what, just because they sprayed graffiti on some pixels instead of a park bench that it's okay? Those scumbags won't be 'anonymous' anymore once the long arm of the law comes reaching for them. Invest heavily in the cybercrimes division of our police force so that we can catch these vandals and have them severely punished!" He smacks the truncheon against your keyboard for emphasis.

[option] "Whatever happened to simple logic and reasoning?" mutters Minister of Technology @@RANDOMNAME@@. "It's clear that this security breach has shocked many and sowed a deep distrust in our government. We could have done better than putting the login details on a post-it note on the communal fridge in the Ministry of Defence. If only we had some kind of advanced authentication system, none of this would had happened. We should prevent future incidents and restore the public's faith in our digital security by beefing it all up. We could even engage with some of the perpetrators and negotiate a deal for them to help us patch the holes they exploited in exchange for less punishment - how could they refuse a bargain like that?"

[option] "Why do people on the Internet have to be so mean to me?" sobs Minister of Foreign Affairs @@RANDOMNAME@@. "Look at the horrible things they said about me. Some were calling me four-eyed, others called a nerd. One particularly awful one even called me a massive loser. People have truly one too far. The Internet brings out the worst in us, and it's about time we unplugged ourselves and rid ourselves of this cesspit. Ughhhh."
[effect] the post office's primary job is to facilitate the exchange of hate comments
[option] "Are you kidding? This is the best thing that has ever happened to these websites!" cheers @@RANDOMNAME@@, the webmaster of one of the affected sites. "Even after we removed all the offending content, we've had more internet traffic in the last 12 hours than we did for the whole of last month. We could probably do without all the slander and expletives of course, but we should definitely keep everything else! Thanks to that unflattering image of your head photoshopped onto a snake's body, now everyone knows about the cobra infestations all over @@NAME@@ and how to deal with them. We need to accept these complimentary site designers with open arms!"
