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.

[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.]
