A six-panel SMBC comic. A speaker in a yellow jacket walks up to a podium on a stage before a silhouetted audience, takes her place, and clears her throat ("Ahem"). She then leans into the microphone and shouts a single word: "PORN!" The audience erupts in thunderous applause, their faces shown beaming and clapping. The final panel reveals the building's sign: "THIS WEEK: CONFERENCE ON COMMERCIALIZATION CONCEPTS FOR VR." The joke: "porn" is the killer app driving VR hardware adoption. Votey (aftercomic): a caption reading "It's amazing how this speech works at every conference on hardware," with a person resting their head wearily on their hand, implying porn drives every hardware platform, not just VR.
