Though I knew George Orwell was Eric Arthur Blair's penname, I had no idea he had more than one pseudonym! Apparently, his others names include Kenneth Miles and H Lewis Allways (Source: George Orwell: Biography). He also apparently holed up in an extremely cold, sparsely populated island off Ireland to focus on writing. Seems like a off-beat man, to put it mildly.

Big Brother Is Your Wicked Stepmother
To be more realistic, the PSA in 1984 should have been BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING OUT FOR YOU, then shown that such self-serving preaching is commonly used as an excuse for totalitarianism, as in the crony virus's Masquerade, Socialist Distancing, and Lockdown. Citizens should have been shown conforming because they really thought that the control-freak elitists were making up rules in the public's best interest. Also, it sets one citizen against another, thinking that those who disobey the government are harming everybody, because the government says so.
