In 'Rumours About Me', an unremarkable office worker finds his most trivial private acts reported as headline news on television and in newspapers. These include what he ate and whether a colleague rejected him. He has done nothing to earn the attention. The coverage persists and then vanishes just as arbitrarily.
Media attention does not detect significance that already exists in an event. It confers significance on whatever it chooses to cover, and that coverage then justifies further coverage. Anyone can become newsworthy, and the subject has no control over when the attention begins or ends.
Take a present-day social consensus and push it until it has no remaining opposition, as with anti-smoking sentiment in 'The Last Smoker'. The surviving dissenter then becomes a hunted outlaw. Carried to its extreme, a reasonable norm shows the persecutory crowd dynamics that were hidden while it was still moderate.
On Planet Porno, an expedition of scientists finds plants and animals whose mating is aggressive, indiscriminate and invasive. The researchers themselves get drawn into the planet's reproductive cycle. Recasting sex as a blind ecological mechanism rather than a personal or romantic act mocks the scientists' claim to detached, objective study.
