Ty sent me this photo. It's hard to make out the writing, but it is a toilet paper dispenser in China that states, "PLEASE TAKE ON YOUR DEMAND".
The very form of the non-choice necessity masquerading as a polite offer ("PLEASE TAKE"). Plus, it manifests rather well the internalization of the super-ego injunction to be a clean and proper self-regulating citizen (it's not the demand of society, it is the demand that you must take on fully of your own volition).
