A single-panel comic. An adult with flame-like reddish hair and a green shirt reads a fairytale aloud to a cluster of seated children, finishing with: "...and for their wickedness and falsehood, God sent down crows who pecked out the stepsisters' eyes. They lived out their days in shame and misery." Rather than being upset, all the children cheer enthusiastically: "YAYYYYYY!" A caption beneath reads: "Focus-group testing fairytale endings on children was a mistake." In the votey aftercomic, a close-up of one grinning, wild-haired child gleefully suggests an even more gruesome ending: "Maybe they could get thrown down a hole!"
