There is a guy in a suit, wearing a great helm with a cape, and holding a cigar in one hand and a sword in the other... he is sitting on the back of a motorcycle driven by a rad biker in high heel boots. All the cool kids on the street corner are super impressed and so is the random woman behind them. The entire world is turning pink. It is an advertisement for Dungeons and Dragons.
