Postmodern fairy tales

Wild Thing (not yet a misnomer, though he is tamer than he used to be) is playing with some online coloring website. It's one of those where you click on a color and then click on some black-and-white picture on the screen to do some "virtual coloring."

WT is clicking everywhere; the whole scene is turning blue. He shouts,

"Everyone's got a blue disease!"

Pause.

"They got it from a wicked giant."
