This is the actual image that 10 million monkeys typed out, finally. Move along....just pixels, but if BB selects it then it's really meaninful. Note that there is also a large hole in the man's facial piece, and the girl is wearing a Star Trek space clip-on earring, with the nacelle engines hiding behind her ear's proboscis. In a Freudian sense, note that the woman is pure, despite here weaponization, and that the man is a mix of impotently unplugged and has a mere breathing hole. But Freud was wrong about everything, dirt simply. She didn't know that. Fact is, he's wearing a big white phone smile smile, and she's just wearing a stupid phone on her pretty little head. Historically, she's in the photo but he isn't. Only she has been humiliated.

John and Betty demonstrate the new form of head gear. Depending on the severity of your disease, you may require more than one phone.

Scientists believe as technology advances, the phones will become smaller, while the effect they have on the brain will be greater."
