"The tide is turning", indeed.

But I wanted to make a comment on the concept of Radio KAOS. Sure, it could not happen in real life. But then have you ever read One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez? Although some of the things in that novel could have never happened, it DID effectively illustrate some of the problems in Latin America. And just look up Márquez to see what he earned for his efforts...
The technique, by the way, is called "magical realism", and is a perfectly legitimate thing to do. You're not SUPPOSED to believe every detail of it, but it can be a clever way to point out whatever concepts or themes you want to--themes that can have a real world application.
