Hi,
In "No Future", on page 49, it is mentioned that the inhabitants of the Renraku arcology in France are fanboys of a trideo show called: "Bull le pirate ork". :)
As hacker is translated into "pirate" (or rather "pirate informatique") in french, I first assumed that the show would be a "shadowrunner show" about a legendary decker ork called Bull. However, maybe this was not the intent, and the show is supposed to be a about a traditionnal "sea pirate" called Bull.
Does someone for sure what was the intent behind this ?

Slamm-0! hacking an entertainment corp's servers to replace Kane with Bull in their lighthearted pirate series?
Nobody noticed until the higher-ups saw the focus groups and the numbers were through the roof, so they kept it.

I'm just picturing the tv station sequence from Hackers now, cause nothing says cyberspace like pure 90s cheese.
