This is what it’s all about. The crack of the bat. The crisp summer air. The camaraderie of old friends on a beautiful new day.

These are all experiences I can’t wait to enjoy for myself as soon as I’m done waiting in line for a fourteen-dollar hot dog.

You can feel the triumphant swell of patriotism as we are called to rise for the national anthem. If you listen closely, can you hear our forefathers singing the very same melody as they, too, delighted in our national pastime?

I’m legitimately asking. Can you hear that? I am still in line for that hot dog.

No matter. Because soon after the game begins, another beautiful sound engulfs the park: CLINK! And then: the unmistakable, deafening roar of a stadium packed with delighted fans.

Simultaneously, another sound. The sound of me saying “fuck.”

Because I definitely just missed something super awesome. Because I am now in the ketchup line. Because, for some reason, that is completely separate from the hot-dog line.

Your biggest mistake wasn’t forgetting that we have feelings (and social media accounts) of our own.

Your biggest mistake, in posting “All Disney’s good for these days is a live action slog and a CGI clusterfuck,” was thinking that we’re too cute and wholesome to retaliate.

Keep in mind, Bambi was cute, too. Then we killed Bambi’s mom.

Cold open. Drone footage pushing in on a shiny red racecar. Back from the depths of 2006, in live-action form, is everyone’s favorite rookie, Lightning McQueen, in a teaser trailer for the Cars remake.

But what’s that—something on the bumper?

Nope. That’s real teeth superimposed onto the front of an actual vehicle. You won’t be smiling once you’ve seen the full sets of teeth we’re giving those things. I’m not just talking about molars and canines—I’m talking about cavities, gingivitis, and the whole sensitive toothpaste industry. Yeah, we’ll schedule the cars for some financially ruinous appointments. We’ll make your favorite movie a constant reminder of last year’s crown and next year’s car trouble.
