Thoroughbred Prophylactics

"The following message is brought to you by the Government of the European Enlightenment, Ministry for the Improvement of Genetic Data through Mandatory Procreation. Attention citizens! It is everyone's duty to preserve and protect our genetic superiority, via the strict adherence to MIGDMP-authorized genetic composites. The MIGDMP cordially reminds you that the results of unauthorized genetic sample combinations will be forcibly discontinued upon or prior to arrival. That's why the MIGDMP recommends Thoroughbred(tm) brand prophylactics. Not only are they made from the finest intestines of animals specialty-bred for the purpose of human contraception, but are available in a wide selection of colors and variaties — try the new Hydrodyne model for a faster, hydrodynamic-powered non-procreative experience. Thoroughbred: the only brand of prophylactic endorsed by the Ministry for the Improvement of Genetic Data through Mandatory Procreation.

"Small Print: Each prophylactic also comes with a special MIGDMP tracking device, to ensure compliance with MIGDMP regulations concerning procreative activities. The Ministry for the Improvement of Genetic Data Through Mandatory Procreation reserves the right to install self destruct devices on its prophylactics without prior notification. Unauthorized use of the prophylactic devices, including use involving procreative positions not authorized in section R69b of the MIDGP Procreative Manual, are punishable by death."

Extispicy Sausages

(A man is eating sausages.)

MAN: These sausages are so bland!

NARRATOR: Normal sausages too bland? Try Extispicy Sausages! You'll see through TIME.

MAN: Woooowweeeeeee!

(The usual reaction to hot foods: the man's eyes water, steam shoots out of his ears, he breathes fire. But then the entire scene EXPLODES, and he falls through another dimension into —

THE FUTURE. A desolate wasteland where proud sky-scrapers now lie abandoned as rusting skeletal hulks. The sky is the dark and overcast cover a nuclear winter. In the distance several starving mutants weakly gasp their last breaths. Four-foot long cockroaches fight over the remains of an already dead three-armed mutant.)

MAN: Oh god! God damn them — they blew it up!
