D.i.D. Entertainment

(in character)

We at TRU Industries, Inc., are proud to announce the launch of our new Film and Media Unit -- D.i.D. Productions!

D.i.D. Productions will specialize in updated Damsels in Distress dramatic entertainment. We have identified a severely under-represented niche market in the mature entertainment field, regarding comely damsels, dastardly villains, perilous situations, and the occasional stupid dashing hero. D.i.D. Productions will deliver time-tested thrills, chills, and excitement to discerning audiences, tired of the bland fare offered in today's modern entertainment.

Furthermore, we'd like to announce our first film production coup -- D.i.D has recently landed the White Owl! That's right, Queen City's own SuperStarHeroine has (more or less) consented to lend her services to one of our first original productions, entitled: "Operation: Snowbird!"

Filming has already begun on location in Queen City, Space City, and everywhere in between. Plot details will remain secret, but we expect that the feather-flying, beak-grinding, surprise (for her) ending will keep audiences buzzing, long after they've left the theater!

Other titles already in production include the recently-completed "Hazards of Housesitting" and its sequel, "The Training of Ellie", starring veteran DiD-er Ellie (Girl) S.; "The Secret of the Submarine," featuring everyone's favorite sea-faring snooper, Emma L.; and, "Training Jessica" (working title), introducing an exciting new personality to the world of DiD, Jessica Jeopardy!

The formation of D.i.D Productions promises a proud and exciting new chapter, in the history of DiD entertainment! Keep your eyes on this space, for further details, as developments warrant.

Curiosity and the Cat-Suit

Memorandum -- Eyes Only
From: CMDP, South Atlantic Coastal HQ
To: CEO, TRU Industries
Re: CMDP Defense Initiatives

Earlier this week, a black-suited female investigator (who we shall refer to as "Ms. Peele") prowled the grounds of TRU Industries' Southern Atlantic Coastal Headquarters facilities. In regard to our secret Currency Manufacturing and Distribution Program (CMDP), Ms. Peele had acquired proprietary information regarding program details.

Fortunately, TRU Security personnel managed to 'acquire' Ms. Peele, before any sensitive information could be released.

Currently, Ms. Peele is held in custody at our SAC HQ, at the bottom of one of our *malfunctioning* sea-water filtration tanks. We project that the potential threat to our CMDP will be submerged, shortly.

The above entry was used to launch another poll question from the late, (un)lamented Yahoo 360 feature menu.

Question: In the case of a Snoopy Investigator having been freshly captured by The Bad Guys, what would YOU do?

(a) IMPERIL Ms. Peele, and savor the pretty DiD's helpless struggles?; or,
(b) JOIN Ms. Peele, and savor the pretty DiD's struggles, as if they were your own?; or,
(c) RESCUE Ms. Peele ... after, first, pausing to savor the pretty DiD's helpless struggles; or,
(d) RESCUE Ms. Peele ... just so you can turn around and tie her up, again, and savor etc., etc., etc.?
