Current story arc: Idiocraception – chapter: The Future Will Be Televised
A cyclist is shown in close-up, pulling the pin from a hand grenade using his teeth.
SFX: click
The cyclist lobs the grenade on the floor in front of the oncoming peloton. Below is a caption “Sports Highlights.”
The grenade explodes, sending cyclists and bicycle parts in all directions.
SFX: WHAM
We see the team watching the TV, which of course is mounted diagonally. It shows a message: “more sports highlights 2007 coming up.”
Max: What…? Is this supposed to be Tour de France?
Zhang: I guess nobody now cares about doping anymore…
