How about this? A series of ads/spots showing people enjoying various implements that they’ve bought: a book, a rolling pin, a lawn mower, a painting (if it were a long spot, you could even show the eager buyer delightedly making the purchase). In each situation, it develops, the product comes with a noodge from the company who intervenes and stops the owner from doing something with it that the manufacturer doesn’t like. (Halley can write the salacious version of one of these for the venues that publish her work.) The user in the ad is obviously exasperated, and the ad leads up to a slogan such as, “Don’t tell me how to use my hammer!” (or “. . . what to do with my hammer,” or “what to do with my movie”).

It all begins when the program finds a variable declaration, and a variable is born into the world of the executing program. There are two possible places where the variable might live, but we will venture into that a little later.
