*The stark studio lights burn down on the figure known as Bob Vanier, the 'TV Man,' pinned in a metal chair amidst a field of glittering, broken glass. Fresh blood spreads in a dark stain across his white dress shirt as he writhes uselessly against the restraints, his agony hidden behind a smooth plastic mask. The taunting chorus of prerecorded mannequin boos fills the air. He shrieks, his voice fraying into a raw crackle, drowning out the interviewer's hollow questions. 'I'M NOT BOB!' he wails into the blinding lights, terrified and completely blind, begging you as his only possible salvation while the waiting saw blades hum with deadly intent.*
