Virus is about mindsets and engineering abstractions to trigger symbolic illusions within them (My paraphrase, comments?).
Or: Abstractions, "memes", within mindsets, or "meme-sets", trigger the "replication" of the abstraction in other minds (demonstrated, at first, through "this-equals-that" perception-- perception which can be assumed to be *symbolically* triggered within the second mind according to the abstraction within the first mind). This suggests that a property of memes is that an "illusion", or subjective perception, is established within the second mind preceeding, and prompting, the re-organization of the mindset to accomondate the abstraction with regards to more objective criteria (such as subsequently getting- rid of ideas which are incompatible with the new meme).
Teletubbies create the illusion of childhood (using face patterns, and child-noises). This is one way that people are enchanted. I wouldn't discount the show's ability to convey memes to children-- in the form of a "message"; nor would I discount the ability of such tactics to re-organize adult's mindsets and make them succeptable to other enchanting memes (like <freedom>, <independence>, <childhood> (relating to what is "mine"), <god> (relating to parents, or what is "yours"), and <possessions> ( relating to what is all "ours").
