The Sally Rivers Show
By Rev.K.
A typical, ordinary,daytime talk show with a demographic skewed towards out-of-work black people and poor white trash. Most of the shows are geared towards incendiary topics to stimulate argument with the guests,audience and professional "experts" The hostess of the program is of course a bubbly vivacious young woman with no training, an occasional weight problem, a tendency to man-bash, and a penchant for asking "have-you-stopped-beating-your-wife-yet?" questions.
It's rude, It's crude, and It's rating are going through the roof....
The Reality:
Sally Rivers is the result of a test marketing of "GET THIN" pills. they were discontinued because the fomor that they were creating were wildly unstable.
Sally is one of the few success stories. She has a unique fomor power in that she brings out the absolute worst qualities in people without becoming an obvious target. The program airs on OMNI-TV and is beginning to garner an insane amount of the market share. The Program also acts as a platform for many books put out by so-called self-help experts which actually are extremely damaging. Many of these books are put out by Dawnbreak press.(a subsidiary of Vesuvius Publishing)
Many audience participants are dosed with minute amounts of Fomorach.(candy given out before the show.) Guests on Sally's show usually alternate between, paid actors,attention seeking weirdoes,who will lie about anything to get on T.V. and a few people with real serious problems.(these people usually go home shattered or worse than before.)

Campaign Use: This is what I call a "drop-in" Usually this show is one of those things that is background noise in the World of Darkness. Hollow Ones watch it for fun, Caitiff watch it to feel better about themselves. and its on the T.V. at the house of any poor person that the characters visit. This is one of those things that may never develop into an adventure at all....However
If you've laid the groundwork, when the truth becomes known it should shock the P.C.'s into action just by it's utter pervasiveness if not by it's sheer insidious nature.
It'll generally go like this, The characters befriend someone who
likes the show or maybe has a real problem. Maybe the N.P.C. is one
of the assorted hangers-on of a Hollow Ones cabal who's one of those
aforementioned attention seeking weirdo's. They go to the show, get
dosed with fomorach(in minute increments) and either go through
withdrawal or they go back to the show...over and over again. Soon it
becomes a problem as the Fomorach begins to twist them up inside.
Only characters with hearts of stone will ignore this hideous
transformation. Verbena will go buck wild when they hear about
this.So will local Garou.
