By the year 2029, three quarters of the world, or maybe more of it, had been ravaged by war, corruption, violence, giant donuts, living underwear, and all sorts of weird and messed up stuff that would make David Lynch movies look normal. The rest of the world? Who cares they don’t matter in this story.

    The only thing that keeps people these days in control, keeping them sane, and from rebelling is television, films, and anything that has to do with entertainment. It’s also the one thing they use for educational purposes; learning from the movies they go out to see, the shows they binge on, and learning through any other form of entertainment.

    Many countries have all lost their governments and power, religion hasn’t helped people, pretty much like always, the Polar ice caps have spread to all of Alaska, and Dr. Seuss has his own statue on Mount Rushmore. Basically, it’s pure chaos, in the vein of The Postman, The Time Machine, and The Planet of the Apes films, but without Kevin Costner, H.G. Wells, or Charlton Heston. Only a few countries, like the United States, Iraq- now named as Iran Jr.-, France, Belgium, Canada- now named Bad Bacon-, North China, and East Korea, survive.

    There’s a long story of how this happened, but long-story short is that Taco Bell bought the entire country of Colombia. American president Michael Bay, who became president in 2028, after his job in directing such great films like Transformers: Revenge for Bots and The Judy Garland Hour, saw this as a threat, along with McDonald’s owned Argentina and Accentria- before known as Scotland.

    They threatened Taco Bell with Randomizers, rockets made by 109 scientists, thirty-four magicians, and ten Star Trek nerds that, when landing, will cause a mushroom cloud of randomness and chaos to spread out. Colombia didn’t believe them, so the governments all fired the Randomizers without realizing a sunspot had hit the Earth at that same moment, causing them to malfunction and hit most of the world.

    In Great Egypt, it rained tiny versions of Adam Sandlers, the Arctic grew giant ice cream cones from the ground, in Israel chocolate bunnies with shotguns invaded, and major cities like New York City, Tokyo, and many other places were destroyed in the crazy chaos. It was basically Armageddon, but without anyone actually getting killed, since the explosions only affected non-biological objects and the bunnies didn’t try to harm humans.

    One of the few things that didn’t get hit by the Randomizers was the entire city of Hollywood. Although two years before a freak accident involving plutonium on the set of The Bachelor caused about twenty percent of the city to be affected by the radiation, leading it to have it be walled up from the rest of the world. But after the Randomizers fired, Hollywood survived and became one of the most famous, powerful, and rich places in the world, due to being the last place that entertainment comes from.
