[Cueball holds a book aloft, displaying it to his two friends.]

Cueball: This book is full of heresy!

Friend: Let’s hold a book burning!

[They confer more, then one friend runs off.]

Cueball: I only have one copy.

Friend #1: I guess we could buy more.

Friend #2: I’ll look online.

[A screenshot from an online retailer’s page displays pricing for the hardcover ($17.99) and Kindle ($9.99) editions of the mentioned book.]

[The front page of a newspaper, titled “News”, is shown above the fold. The first article’s headline reads “Eight dead from toxic fume inhalation” and a picture is shown depicting three bodies strewn around a massive plume of tar-black smoke.]
