We are watching you

According to the Daily Mail (not the best source of news, no, but nonetheless):

Big Brother is not only watching you - now he's barking orders too. Britain's first 'talking' CCTV cameras have arrived, publicly berating bad behaviour and shaming offenders into acting more responsibly.

The system allows control room operators who spot any anti-social acts - from dropping litter to late-night brawls - to send out a verbal warning: 'We are watching you'.

OH MY GOD how sinister. It almost makes me glad we're emigrating. Say what you want about Bush, but at least his Big Brother bullshit operates under a veil of surreptitiosness (why is the noun form of that adjective not surreptition?).

1984, anyone? Jesus.
