Wow, Bear! I wrote it a couple of days ago, but the story only gets better. You have captured the decadence of corporate media with this series. This 110 year old quote seems fitting:
“It is the one great weakness of journalism as a picture of our modern existence, that it must be a picture made up entirely of exceptions. We announce on flaring posters that a man has fallen off a scaffolding. We do not announce on flaring posters that a man has not fallen off a scaffolding. Yet this latter fact is fundamentally more exciting, as indicating that that moving tower of terror and mystery, a man, is still abroad upon the earth. That the man has not fallen off a scaffolding is really more sensational; and it is also some thousand times more common. But journalism cannot reasonably be expected thus to insist upon the permanent miracles. Busy editors cannot be expected to put on their posters, “Mr. Wilkinson Still Safe,” or “Mr. Jones, of Worthing, Not Dead Yet.” They cannot announce the happiness of mankind at all. They cannot describe all the forks that are not stolen, or all the marriages that are not judiciously dissolved. Hence the complex picture they give of life is of necessity fallacious; they can only represent what is unusual. However democratic they may be, they are only concerned with the minority.”― G.K. Chesterton, The Ball and the Cross
Ugh, now I remember those “toenail chips” Sedine ate a few months ago!(I wish I didn’t) I guess this new tax is gonna impact the company that makes those, I hope they go bankrupt.

A toenail tax to foot the bill.

And why is Char. Carrying a camera?

In Ancient Rome there was once a “urine tax”, so looks like we have here another example of reality being stranger than fiction.

Sedine stop before they realize Charline should have your job! Sure she’s shy, but they have drugs for that, they have drugs for everything! XD

…Was she… hiding in the bushes, taking photos of Sedine? And she’s worried about being normal??

Face it, Charlene. You are not normal.
Neo Stryder over 4 years ago
Who are you to make mention of what’s normal while you hide behind bushes to spy a newswoman and run with bushes on your ears?

A graceful woman running, the epitome of sexy! Go girls, you are lovely.

Sedine didn’t even notice the UFO, Bigfoot or the little kid with the big butt… But when Charlene hides behind a bush, it’s “Whoop! There she is!”

Char is wearing combat boots. Ashamed of toenail fungus maybe?
