Please add games that deal with media, and your interpretation of the lesson learned...

 The most difficult decision is how many column-inches to allocate to each story. Also, layout is a bitch.

for male prostitutes.

There's always a race to use up the male ads in our games...I particularly enjoy slapping down the Roberto ad.

 Big media doesn't care about you. They're just a tool of the man. Or Aliens. Or Gnomes. Well, really anyone more powerful than the consumer.

 It never hurts to have some extra printing presses, although you may just be amusing the nobility when you think you are trying to change minds.

Still, burning heretics sells ad space.

They're really tough on your liver. Not good for GOOs with high cholesterol, either. But like all things that are bad for you, they're pretty tasty. Can't eat just one.
