Media Fact/Cliche # - Psychospacecow - 04-27-2014

Now, I bet you're wondering what this is, seeing as you click on it and all.

I had an idea. If you ever used to watch Sci-Fi channel, you might have seen their old ad campaign where they would list off cliches in bad sci-fi movies, like
SCIFI FACT #1
If you create an artificial intelligence
don't give it the ability to learn.
If you give it the ability to learn,
don't give it a weapon.

I just thought, assuming we can get enough input, it would be fun to create a tumblr or something similar, kind of like DYKG, with little posters and the statement.

So... Something like...

HORROR FACT 1
If your car breaks down on the side of the road,
call for a tow,
If you do go knocking on doors,
don't come inside and accept drinks from strangers.

Ala Human Centipede. Something like that?

First time anyone sees a Zombie.

"What is that thing?"

Also, Zombie isn't trademarked, people call call them zombies, not the infected, or walkers or undead.

Horror Fact:

If there is a superstition that involves a ghost or demon that the entire town believes,
Chances are it's real.

Drinking, partying, and/or sex will make the demon/ghost very angry. So don't do it.

Villein Fact:

Do not give your base a self-destruct button. This only gives the hero another chance to foil your plans.

If you must, make the button instantly destroy the base, killing anyone whose still inside, including the hero.

Alternately, place a button that says "Self-Destruct", but once pressed activates a flame thrower to burn noisy people/heroes.
