Took a read, not quite sure what to make of this, like the comments above, it also comes across like a commercial.......... Lee
This is exactly it Lee. It is uninteresting as a script because much like Thank The Police - it's a commercial. Reading BP's latest commercial would have the same intellectual appeal.
For example - I have a Smart Phone, Computer, etc. If I wrote a script called "Thank You Technology" and just listed a series of events where people were enjoying their electronic devices and shouting "Thank You Big Technology" it would be a single tone, tedious bit of writing. However, if I added a slave wages factory in China (Thank You Technology), a landfill stuffed with non-degradable computer components (Thank You Technology), etc then it would be a bit more interesting. If I added a character who was an anti technology protester only to ultimately be in a position where technology was needed to save him from some horrific event - even more interesting.
The Thank You scripts suffer as well because any thoughtful person knows that in most cases there are two sides to an issue (e.g., energy = good, pollution = bad) and when they read something where only one side is championed it by nature becomes boring.
