Alton Towers' Nemesis #3: Global Reach


In a scene that really may have been taken anywhere in the Donbas I set up Apple's fearsome 12-inch artillery piece for the opening salvo. With unlimited range and a muzzle velocity of some 186,000 miles-per-second, it is capable of firing Trustpilot, TripAdvisor or Google Reviews at a rate of ten an hour.

In this instance ~ which in time will be compared to the Nazi shelling of Gydnia in Poland ~ I authorised a high-impact review in the shape of an A4-printable Google, with the setting at 'one star' and screen pitched to 75° following the 'one-third' rule applied to mortars.

Subsequent, I wait anxiously in the situation room whilst trying to look as much like President Obama as is possible.
