Cartoon newscast. A tattooed male in white wifebeater looks left and right, then straight at the screen with a face implying he's realizing something. The commentator says: "Extraordinary images here of an expat in Dubai having their first ever geopolitical thought. To explain the significance of this moment we're joined by David Jones, our Expat Thoughts correspondent." The scene switches to a news studio with two suited characters sitting on a curved desk. The footage of the Dubai influencer is in the background. "John, this is momentous. It was caught on film at the end of an Instagram post titled: 'Dubai Is Brilliant'. You can clearly see in the eyebrows here, the dawning realisation that there might be something in the world beyond his dickhead self. It marks a huge departure from all the Dubai Expat's previous thoughts.", the blue suit says, pointing at the screen with the influencer. "Which are...?", the moderator asks. "You've Got To Get Yourself Out Here Mate, Everything Is So Clean, I Don't Have To Pay Taxes, I Am Incurious As To Why I Don't Have To Pay Taxes, and Spa." says the expert. "And might there be more New Thoughts to come?" -- "I think we can expect to see: I Deserve To Be Airlifted By A Country I Pay No Tax To." The moderator concludes with "Mm."
