== Synopsis ==
== Synopsis ==
Joe announces what's coming on tonight's show: global leaders rigged
up as marionettes, the Red Army Chorus, Bruno of Vienna, Bog Man (a
100,000 year old corpse preserved in a peat bog), the Yaco (sp?)
people of Guam who have bred with teak trees, thus becoming very
hard…
3:40: Somebody tells about the Kapts, a people in ancient Turkey who
kidnapped others.  Because no one else lived there they kidnapped
inanimate objects, then each other.
6:20: Joe tells about his favorite wrestler, Mr Capital, a predatory
capitalist who perpetrates all the common crimes of Capitalists.  He
bought all the organic farms on Long Island, converted them to a theme
park, Dreamland.  Mr Capital has a sequence of surreal experiences,
including throwing a little girl who floats into space.
18:20: Joe calls his bank's automated telephone service, finds his
balance is $1.62.
19:30:  Joe talks about kidnapping.

sequence of surreal experiences, visits Dreamland, which has fallen

ends up with such a severe anthrax outbreak that authorities detonate
a small nuclear weapon, killing 200,000, to stop its spread.

when they were held hostage.
