"... but he still maintains that the Photographs have been digitally altered, and more importantly, Pink really isn't his colour.

This just in: An angry Mob- pitchforks, burning Torches, and all- have just attacked the Governor-General's Mansion in Coral Palm Island.

We cross now to Amy Wong, who is Live on the scene in Coral Palm City. Amy?"

[The scene shows a youngish Asian woman standing in front of a very Angry Mob of Hippies- some brandishing placards with the usual Equal Rights type slogans, others with Pitchforks, and others with Burning Torches]

"It appears that an angry Mob of Hippies, fed up with Coral Palm Island's collapsing economy, have decided to storm the Governor-General's Mansion in protest. I am told that the Governor-General, Sarah Lane, is issuing a Statement..."

"Well, there you have it- Coral Palm Island is now under Martial Law. The Imperial Guard have deployed Tear Gas to disperse the Hippies, but similar riots have broken out all over the Island. No word yet from Roycelandia as to what will be done, but I think we can expect some Hippie-smackdown action over the coming hours. This is Amy Wong, Live in Coral Palm City..."
