Hey! Thats one ofthose laptop things! I

heard stories about thosebut I thought they were

just an urbanlegend.

Yeah, Im old-school.

I thinksomething is wronghere. I cant get anyWebsites other thanFacebookand

YouTube.

What do youmean? What other sites

would there be?

News?Sports?

No one caresabout news. Sports?

You mean like thenational pastime?


3/16

Yes!Baseball! The

national pastime! No, I mean Farmville:The national pastime.

Wait a minute. Thenational pastime is

Farmville?!

Well hell yes,sonny. What else would

it be?


4/16

You know,sonny, you shouldhang out with us

tonight in the Walkomartparking lot. Were goingto have a kegger after

I pick up my freePlaystation 74.

Freeplaystation?! How do

you get a free

playstation?!

Its part of thegovernments universalvideo game coverage.

What?!

You must live asheltered life. When

the president ran foroffice last year, he

promised us our choiceof a free Wii Fat, X-Box

9000, or aPlaystation 74.


5/16

So otherthan the IRS

people and thepoliticians in

Washington, is thereanyone in this country

who does anything otherthan sitting around,

drinking beer, andplaying free video

games?

Yeah. We callthose people the

resistance. They knowhow to read and they

talk about stuff otherthan Farmville,AmericanIdol, and

country music.Theyre weird.

What?! Where can Ifind these people?!


6/16

Hey! Resistanceguy! Wait a minute! I

need to talk to you! No!Dont run!

Damn it, man! AllI need is some

information to help meget out of this hick

hell! Come back!


7/16


8/16

Wait a minute! Imon your side! Look: Ihave all my teeth! Ill

prove it to you!

Please dont run! I needto talk to you!


9/16

Okay. Now were

going to talk. I needsome information aboutthis shit-hole world and

I hear that you canprovide the

information.

I dont wantany trouble, mister.

But are you really anoutsider? I saw you drive

into town in a car thatwasnt a pick-up

truck.


10/16

Im asoutside as you

get. I came from theyear 2010 and I got

stuck here when a timemachine went off, putting

me into this god-forsaken

backwoods

ghetto.

I needyour help to get

back home. Im goingto need you or your

resistance friends to put

me in touch withscientists--namely aphysicist or quantum

theorist.

A time machine? Whoa.

Thats a little bit moreresistance than we are.

Were trying to getpeople to learn how to

read first.

You mean that no onearound here is

attempting to doanything with science?


11/16

No. My grandparents werepart of the last generation

of science people. Theycouldnt get enough interest.My parents generation beganto work on bringing reading,

writing, and arithmetic to thepeople, but even that failed.

My generation istrying to bring

reading and properspelling to the public. Bu

even that seems like ahard sell. Most people

just write stuffhowever they want.

But who runsFacebookand

YouTube?

The government. Butthey change it everyyear to adapt to the

intellectual level of thepublic. For example, the

word laughter doesntexist anymore. Nowthey just say LOL.


12/16

But why? What do theyhope to have?

Globalredneckificationand worldwide

dumbing-down.

Global?!

Supposedlysome of the Chinese

have already painted theirrickshaws orange andpainted Confederate

flags on them.

Sweet Jesus.
