Poetry in Falsetto It is seemingly a win-win-win (and perhaps additional win-win) situation for two friends visiting a virtual reality game arcade for the first time. With the President having been kidnapped, discussions may cross the line in the Pentagon war room. A drug lord raps about the key to his success in all aspects. The four have a heated discussion about who is responsible for the dirty bowl in the kitchen sink, the result of the discussion which has longer term consequences and brings certain things to light, like who actually cleans around the apartment. One of a group of friends going out for the evening learns where he ranks. A devotee of the latter explains the difference between goth and emo. And Antonio Ferrari, in an ad for his pizzeria, tells the best way to order a pizza. |
