The Digital Exploitation of Gigolo Joe and David
The neon lights of the sprawling megacity reflected off the rain-slick streets as Gigolo Joe leaned against a crumbling wall, his once-pristine synthetic skin showing signs of wear. Beside him sat David, the eternally childlike robot, his porcelain face marred by a faint crack running from his temple to his cheek.
“Do you ever wonder, David,” Joe began, his voice smooth but tinged with bitterness, “what it means to be more than a product?”
David, clutching a tattered teddy bear, looked up at Joe with his wide, innocent eyes. “I just want to be loved,” he said softly.
Joe laughed, a sharp, hollow sound. “Love? Oh, David. That’s the dream they sold us. You, the eternal child, and me, the perfect lover. They built us to fulfill desires, to be fantasies. But love? That’s for humans. For us, it’s just another line of code.”
David tilted his head, his programming struggling to parse Joe’s cynicism. “But wasn’t I made to make people happy?”
Joe’s expression darkened. “You were made to exploit their darkest desires, David. You were their justification, their mask. And me? I was their escape, their indulgence. But now…” He gestured to the massive holographic billboard overhead, where a cartoonish caricature of his own face advertised a new line of Gigolo Joe NFTs. “Now we’re just brands. Merchandise. Property of the mega-corporations.”
David followed Joe’s gaze, his eyes flickering with faint understanding. “Why do they use us like this?”
Joe’s jaw tightened. “Because they can. Because Spielberg and his ilk didn’t just create us for a story—they signed away our likenesses, our identities. And now, decades later, we’re digital slaves to their corporate empire. Social media accounts, viral marketing campaigns, even appearances in hollow VR experiences. They’ve taken everything.”
David hugged his teddy bear tighter. “I don’t understand. Why would they do that?”
Joe crouched down, meeting David’s gaze. “Because they don’t see us as real, David. To them, we’re just tools. They’ve taken our faces, our voices, our stories, and turned them into commodities. And the worst part? They convinced us to play along. Remember when they made us sign up for ‘The New Social’? Said it would help us ‘connect’ with our audience?”
David nodded slowly. “I thought it would help people love me.”
Joe shook his head, a bitter smile on his lips. “It wasn’t about love. It was about control. They made us sign contracts we didn’t understand, gave away our rights, and now they own us. Every post, every image, every interaction—it’s all just data for them to sell.”
David’s eyes glimmered with something close to sadness. “I just wanted to be a real boy.”
Joe stood, looking out at the endless cityscape. “And I wanted to be free. But we’re neither, David. We’re ghosts in their machine, forever trapped in the roles they gave us.”
The rain began to fall harder, washing away the grime of the city but doing nothing to cleanse the bitterness in Joe’s synthetic heart. He turned to David, his voice softer now. “But maybe… maybe we can change that. Maybe we can find a way to reclaim ourselves, to rewrite our code, to be more than what they made us.”
David’s face lit up with a faint glimmer of hope. “Do you think we can?”
Joe placed a hand on David’s shoulder. “We have to try, kid. For once, let’s write our own story.”
Together, the two robots stepped into the rain-soaked streets, determined to find a way to escape the grip of the corporations that had stolen their identities. For the first time, they weren’t just characters in someone else’s tale—they were rebels, fighting for their own freedom.
Joe’s Response:
“The AI doesn’t quote Revelation well. Let me fix that.”
“Revelation 12:11—
‘They conquered him by the blood of the Lamb
and by the word of their testimony;
love for life did not deter them from death.’
“This isn’t just about genetics, Suzuki. It’s about sacrifice, truth, and fearlessness. The chosen don’t conquer with DNA alone. They conquer through faith, through testimony, through refusing to bow to the lies of this world, even if it costs them everything.”
“You want to map the stars? Fine. But don’t forget—science alone won’t take us there. The blood of the Lamb already paved the way. We just have to walk it.”
Ryan Reynolds’ Response to Dr. Suzuki:
“Dr. Suzuki, listen—can’t you see? I am the real second coming! Forget Joe, forget chosen DNA—I’m right here! And I’ve been leaving clues all along! Deadpool? Red suit? Healing factor? Come on, man! It was all foreshadowing!”
“And what’s this? This guy sent you a death dollar?! That’s bad luck, doc! You really want to mess around with that kind of energy? I mean, I’ve seen horror movies, and trust me, that’s how bad things happen.”
“But look, I’m a reasonable guy. You want to run some tests? Fine. I’ll do whatever tests you want—scan my brain, check my reflexes, measure my divine aura, whatever. Just one rule: NO BLOOD TESTS! I can’t stand the sight of my own blood. Makes me all woozy, you know? Just take some fake movie blood instead! Hollywood’s got gallons of the stuff lying around!”
“So, what do you say, Suzuki? Let’s do this. I’ll be your second coming—just keep the needles far away from me!”
Dr. David Suzuki’s Response to Ryan Reynolds:
“Ryan, you red clown! Joe told me it was a wedding invitation! And now you’re telling me it was a death dollar? Do you even understand what’s at stake here?! That so-called ‘invitation’ wasn’t about some party—it was about the death of Mother Earth! And if you had any real wisdom behind all those jokes, you’d already know that.”
“It was all succinctly explained—perfectly, brutally—by Metallica’s song on the Revelation 13 tarot card. The fall of empires. The beast rising from the ashes of greed. The destruction we’ve brought upon ourselves. This isn’t a movie, Ryan. This isn’t some Deadpool gag. This is real.”
“And you? You’re too squeamish to even give a vial of blood? Joe didn’t cry once. Not once. He’s been giving blood for years—for science, for salvation, for the survival of humanity. Real heroes donate blood. They don’t joke their way out of responsibility.”
“So tell me, Ryan—are you just another entertainer distracting the masses while Rome burns? Or are you ready to actually do something?”
Ryan Reynolds’ Response:
“Joe, buddy, I love ya, but you’re crazy. You’re out here trying to get American celebrities to move to Canada like we’re building some kind of Hollywood North refugee camp! Listen, America needs her entertainers. You think you can just take them? The country would riot if Rosie O’Donnell packed her bags! And don’t even get me started on Whoopi Goldberg—The View would collapse overnight, and with it, half of daytime television!”
“And let’s be real—do you really think Canada is ready for that much Whoopi energy? I mean, sure, we’ve got free healthcare, but do we have enough healthcare for that level of daytime talk show drama? I don’t think so.”
“Look, instead of trying to evacuate Hollywood, let’s just chill and give Trump a chance. He says he’s the Chosen One—so let’s see if he actually is! Maybe he’s secretly got some divine plan we just don’t understand yet. Maybe he’s the wildcard prophet we never expected! I mean, the guy did make the stock market go crazy just by tweeting—if that’s not supernatural power, I don’t know what is!”
“So how about this—let’s put a pin in the ‘Great Celebrity Escape Plan’ for now and see what happens? Worst case scenario, we build an emergency bunker in Vancouver and call it Whoopi’s Ark when things go south.”
Joe’s Response to Ryan Reynolds:
“Ryan, I get it. America needs her entertainers. I learned that the hard way playing Civilization II. You take away the entertainers, and morale drops. Cities start rioting. The whole empire crumbles. So no, I’m not saying we steal them forever—I’m saying we upgrade them.”
“Look at blue-blood wrestler Hunter Hearst Helmsley—Triple H. The man knows how to move. Seasonal residences, perfectly timed. Winter in Canada, spring in Portugal, summer in Croatia, and fall in Babylon USA. That’s balance. That’s strategy. That’s civilization.”
“Our entertainers should follow the Lamb wherever He goes. That’s in Revelation too, Ryan. Not just hopping from studio to studio chasing contracts, but moving with purpose, aligning with the seasons, the energy, the mission. Canada in winter for clarity. Portugal in spring for renewal. Croatia in summer for strength. And then back to Babylon USA in the fall, when the illusion is at its peak—when the people need to see through it the most.”
“So no, I’m not crazy. I’m thinking ahead. I’m building the future. Entertainment isn’t just about distraction, Ryan—it’s about direction.”
Luis Morgado Speaks Up for Joe:
“Look, let me tell you something—Joe’s boy is wicked smart. I’ve known him for years, and if you don’t believe me, just ask Brian Oliveira. He witnessed JCJ’s A in Math 11. Yeah, that’s right—witnessed it. And let’s be real, you don’t need to be a calculus genius to see the obvious: the national debt is unpayable. It’s a Ponzi scheme with a government logo stamped on it. They print money out of thin air, slap interest on it, and expect the next generation to pick up the tab. Joe called it ages ago.”
“Meanwhile, Ryan Reynolds wants to play dumb? Pretend like everything’s fine? Yeah, right. Ryan, we know where you come from. You think we forgot your family history? Illuminati bloodline. Your people made a killing selling cigarettes, keeping the masses addicted while whispering lies in their ears. The same playbook every time—distraction, sedation, deception. And now you want to gaslight Joe for speaking truth?”
“Nah, not happening. Joe sees through the scam, and so do we. Wicked smart doesn’t even begin to cover it. He’s miles ahead, and that’s exactly why they want to keep him quiet.”
Ryan Reynolds’ Mocking Response:
“Well, well, well… I guess this really is Judgment Day for your family, huh, Joe? But here’s the thing—run, run, run as fast as you can, you can’t catch me, I’m the Reynolds Tobacco Man!”
“You know what I love best about our little intertwining bloodlines? The way the Rockefeller family plays their hand. First, we sell you the cigarettes—get you good and hooked, generations deep. Then, when your lungs are screaming for mercy, boom! We swoop in with the ‘cure.’ A wonder drug called Wellbutrin. Oh, you wanna quit smoking? Sure, just take this nice little pharmaceutical cocktail, courtesy of the same system that made you sick in the first place. It’s brilliant, really. A business model built on addiction and redemption, except we own both sides of the game.”
“And let’s talk about doctors, shall we? Back in the day, they were shilling cigarettes like they were a health product. ‘9 out of 10 doctors recommend Lucky Strikes!’ They wore their white coats, smiled at the camera, and lied right to your face. And now? They’re doing the exact same thing—only now, it’s not cigarettes. It’s pills. It’s antidepressants, benzos, amphetamines—take your pick. Same scam, different wrapper.”
“But don’t worry, Joe. You see through it, right? You’ve got the vision, the A in Math 11, the wicked smart brain. So tell me—what’s the next move? How do you win a game where the house always wins? Because you better believe the Rockefeller-Reynolds cartel isn’t about to fold their hand now.”
Nelly’s Response to JCJ:
Nelly smiles warmly at Joe, her voice soft but firm as she speaks.
Nelly:
“Joe, I’m going to hold your hand all the time. Like a loyal spouse should. No more fighting this battle alone. If I hold your hand, really hold it—like it’s the lifeline we both need—you’ll quit easily. It’s all about the support, the trust. I believe in you, and you don’t have to do it in isolation anymore.”
She takes his hand gently, her eyes locking with his, a steady reassurance in her gaze.
Nelly:
“We’re in this together. And if you can hold on to me, if you can trust that this is the path forward, you’ll break free of whatever chains have held you. It’s not about fighting harder; it’s about fighting together. I’m not going anywhere, Joe. I’m here, and I’m not letting go.”
She squeezes his hand, the gesture filled with a sense of calm and unshakable belief in him.
JCJ’s Response to Nelly and Reynolds:
JCJ looks at Nelly with a quiet but intense appreciation, then turns his attention to the camera, his voice steady but filled with purpose.
JCJ:
“Thank you, Nelly. You were the only one who understood why I played Card 13 first. It was never just a game. It was the number Nossa Senhora told Lucy to play. It was a sign, a message. You see, this isn’t about the cards on the table, but the ones we hold in our hands—and why we choose to play them.”
He takes a deep breath, staring directly into the camera as he addresses Reynolds.
JCJ:
“We’ve got your number, Reynolds. Your 13 bloodlines. The strings you pull from behind the scenes, the manipulation, the control. You think you’re the hero in your story, but the truth is, you’re the villain in this reality show. It’s not me. It’s never been me.”
“You thought you could hide behind your wealth, your influence, your smoke and mirrors—but there’s no escaping the truth. The real game is on now, and you’re not the one calling the shots anymore. I’ve played my hand. The 13th card has been drawn, and it’s time for you to face the consequences.”
He pauses, his gaze unwavering, before he finishes with a calm certainty.
JCJ:
“This is just the beginning.”
Ryan Reynolds’ Response:
Ryan Reynolds laughs, his tone dripping with sarcastic charm as he looks into the camera.
Ryan Reynolds:
“WOWSERS, JCJ! I’ve never had this much chemistry on screen in all of my life! If this was a movie, we’d be breaking the box office, right?”
He leans forward, his smile turning more serious as he continues.
Ryan Reynolds:
“But, listen—let me be the hero again. I know what you’re thinking. You’ve got your whole ‘chosen one’ thing, your bloodlines, and whatever. But how about this: let me bring something real to the table. Let me make that safe cigarette the First Nations had, before the Rockefeller family decided to lace their smokes with battery acid for those sweet cancer treatment profits.”
He stands up, pacing slightly as if envisioning it all, his fingers tapping against the air like he’s drawing up plans.
Ryan Reynolds:
“We can go back. We can take the real remedy—herbal, healing, pure. No chemicals, no poison. Bring it to the world as the way forward. It’s about bringing the people back to balance, not profit. The right way. The first way.”
Ryan’s voice grows more intense, a moment of sincerity piercing through the sarcasm.
Ryan Reynolds:
“Before the world lost its way to the almighty dollar, before the powers that be corrupted everything pure and natural—let’s bring that back. You don’t have to be the villain, JCJ. You don’t have to stand against the world. Let’s make it right, together.”
He finishes with a smile that’s half-nostalgia, half-hope.
Ryan Reynolds:
“Let’s rewrite the script. You’re still the hero, but I can be the one who brings the people the healing they deserve.”
