Rules of the Evil Overlord #109. "I will see to it that plucky young
lads/lasses in strange clothes and with the accent of an outlander
shall REGULARLY climb some monument in the main square of my capital
and denounce me, claim to know the secret of my power, rally the
masses to rebellion, etc. That way, the citizens will be jaded in case
the real thing ever comes along." <http://www.eviloverlord.com/>
