VegaxX: "Post Police Force 5, ASSEMBLE!"
[Jonny McInternet's face swirls into view on the Post-O-tron]
Jonny: "Someone posted their opinion in a thread!"
[VegasX, Chief inspector of Post Police Force 5, slams his fist on the Post-O-trons large keys]
VegasX: "Without clearing it with me first? The swine!"
Jonny: "His opposing opinion burned my eyes and made me feel dirty. :("
VegasX: "Don't worry Jonny, we'll get that curr. I'm crafting a condescending post right now that is sure to offer nothing to the discussion at hand."
Jonny: "Hurry VegasX, hurry! People are reading his post and your stinging retort isn't ready yet."
[Sirens are blairing, VegasX hunches even closer to the keys he hits with a single digit. His rage is blasted down to the very tip of his index finger and into the Post-O-tron's input squares.]
Post-O-tron: "MESSAGE SENT: 'Maybe you should post about it'"
[VegasX leans back in his chair, coddled by supple leather, and smirks.]
VegasX: Don't worry Jonny, they'll never do that again.
[All is well]
