I remember when there was a discussion on Twitter about Shein's manufacturing practices and some apologists invented all sorts of fantastical machinery and technology to avoid facing the more horrifying truth. Reminds me of this comedian's joke.

FINALLY, North America can experience the full force of a widescreen, remastered Blood Of Heroes with the 4k release of SALUTE OF THE JUGGER. The best post-apocalyptic sport played with a dog skull movie you are ever gonna see. The real heroes are the folks at Umbrella.
