There are annotations at the end that read: "Just to clarify, I did not actually accept anyone's Game Boys. I bought a box of 18 broken ones off of eBay months ago." "The mystery component is a piece of a cell phone that I soldered an antenna onto. I photoshopped the closeup with Russian words on it, and used editing to "activate" it." "There really are embedded Russian spies and numbers stations, but there never were any at Nintendo." "Read all the comments if you have time, some people are really angry for some reason and it's hilarious" "Ronald Reagan was a horrible president."
