This came out of a silly post on another thread but it got me thinking what would Shakespeare make of today's world?
I do present a small play nam-ed Measure for Measure and hope that my humble efforts do amuse - William Shakespeare.

BASSANIO, FULLY 18 SUMMERS, DOTH WHILE AWAY THE HOURS ON HIS PC.
FX_____________________________HARK FOR 'TIS THE SOUND OF INCOMING MAIL
CLOSE UP ON MONITOR:
MESSAGE:
Verily wilt thou give her something to write home about should thou have the inclination to send $20 for these magic pills. For thine manhood will surely become as huge as an elephant who feasteth like a greedy so and so.
BASSANIO:
Wicked!
HE BEGINETH PRESSING A FEW BUTTONS AND ERE LONG
BASSANIO:
Twenty green backs. The ladies will surely be like flies around sh*t in but a few short weeks.
CUT TO:
SC2. INT - BASSANIO'S BEDROOM - NIGHT
BASSANIO:
Forsooth! Methinks I have been led a merry dance! For these magic pills have done nothing for my manhood. On several occasions have I measured mine dangly business and yet not a single fraction of an inch has it changed. Mind, mine hair doth now shineth like a new pin and my halitosis seems greatly improv-ed.
I must learn from this. Cruel fiends have toyed with my aspirations. Oh woe!
FX________________________________HARK FOR ONCE MORE 'TIS THE SOUND OF MAIL
BASSANIO READS THE MESSAGE.
BASSANIO:
What joy! For now I must simply send Prince Ungdobo two ducats and I shall be rewarded ten thousand times over. Rejoice!
END
