A balding man in glasses stands at a podium, smiling and holding up a small syringe. He announces: "Ladies and gentlemen, we've done it. Behold! The cure for childhood misbehavior." Below the panel, a label reads: "Directions for use: Stab the little bastard." Votey: A woman stands behind a small child, gripping the back of his head with one hand and brandishing the syringe with the other, saying "Come back for parenting!" The joke: the supposed medical "cure" is really just a threat of violence dressed up as treatment.
