I am gross and perverted
I'm obsessed and deranged
I have existed for years
But very little has changed
I'm the tool of the Government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you
I may be vile and pernicious
But you can't look away
I make you think I'm delicious
With the stuff that I say
I'm the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
I'm the slime oozing out
From your TV set
You will obey me while I lead you
And eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we don't need you
Don't go for help . . . no one will heed you
Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold
That's right, folks . . .
Don't touch that dial
Well, I am the slime from your video
Oozing along on your living room floor
I am the slime from your video
Can't stop the slime, people, look at me go
I am the slime from your video
Oozing along on your living room floor
I am the slime from your video
Can't stop the slime, people, look at me go
-- Frank Zappa, I Am The Slime
What does it do? Post-hypnotic suggestions is what came to mind, more than a direct mind-control effect. If I were whomping up game mechanics, I'd say it requires a successful Mind Control attack, and Doug could implant one suggestion plus one for every three full points of IQ more than the target that he has. (Or maybe five points.) Suggestions last until they are executed, although Doug might be able to plant a permanent suggestion ("You love cauliflower, and try to have some at every meal") as a "special attack" (two rolls to hit).
