A six-panel SMBC comic. A mustached, bespectacled father holding a red box tells his red-haired son: "Great news, Billy! Wal-Mart opened a branch that gives big discounts on horrific accursed products!" He presents a top-of-the-line toy fire truck whose only flaw is that touching it makes you hear the screams of a murdered boy whose soul is trapped within. The boy looks alarmed, but the father reassures him: "I- Don't worry! I put a sound modulator on it that converts screams into siren noises!" He hands over the truck; as the boy holds it, big letters spell out "WEEEYOOOOO WEEYOOO WEEYOO OOO" coming from the toy. In the final panel the father stares off with a strained, queasy expression, saying "So much saving..." Votey: an extreme close-up of the father's face, eyes shut and mouth open, saying in shaky handwriting, "Now say thank you."
