Pop Shopping
------------
by Barri Martin
It's about students. Film students. Lazy film students. Lazy chain-toking film students. Lazy chain-toking,... ok ok.
This is the story of Dangerous Dave, DD, a lazy film student. DD sits on his ass all day, never leaving his flat, he and his best friend Flange live in a world of constant movie quotes, cannabis, and irrevarent in-jokes that leave them almost completely oblivious to normality.
Almost...
For normality has a form, and that form is DD's flatmate and fellow student Stephan. Stephan, who has the kind of anal retention most ducks would be proud to call their own, has now thrown all his toys from the pram and demanded change. No longer can he live in the fallout from DD and Flange's world. Brewing vodka in the bath, trying to re-create the 'Close Encounters' theme with bottles of rancid milk, and slowly torturing his 'precioussss' collection of Steven Seagal videos, it's just too much for him to take anymore.
It's time for a change.
It's time for a new start.
It's time to drag these two Sega-worshipping plug munchers into the big wide world, and make them deal with simple everyday normalities like shopping for cleaning products...
DD and Flange--potentially violent chemicals--a shopping center full of Joe Schmoe's... Oh shit..
Did I mention the 6ft furry kung-fu rabbit, the world's fastest jelly-eating contest, and the South-West Wing of the Celebrity Butt-plug Appreciation Society?
No?
That's probably for the best...
