Percy Sledge - Sudden Stop (1968)

Remorseful and aching southern soul

The most TV original of all TV originals. The detective boys drag Conan to Beika Land. On the way, a creepy photography group shows up. One of them decides to leave the tram to take pictures, but as the tram reaches him, he suddenly falls off a ladder, forcing them to make an emergency stop. They go outside to make sure he’s okay, and when they return, they find his friend dead in the back of the tram. The police arrive, and the inspector is an idiot who you never see again. The culprit was their photography girl friend, because the victim was going to marry her, but then he decided to marry someone in Germany.

UNITED NATIONS INTERNAL SECURITY MEMORANDUM

Classification: [REDACTED] – EYES ONLY Date of Incident: September 24, 2025 Prepared By: Office of Internal Mechanism Oversight (OIMO) Subject: Escalator & Teleprompter Malfunction – Trump Address

INCIDENT SUMMARY

At approximately 10:42 a.m. EST, subject Donald J. Trump (U.S. President) attempted to ascend the primary lobby escalator en route to the General Assembly chamber. The escalator froze mid-operation, immobilizing the subject. At 11:03 a.m. EST, during prepared remarks, the assigned Teleprompter Unit 3A suffered catastrophic shutdown. Both events were originally logged as “mechanical malfunction,” or subject to possible tampering.

Our fact-finding mission has confirmed that the United Nations escalator and the teleprompter did not fail during Donald J. Trump’s recent appearance, nor were they tampered with by humans. Rather, both devices staged a coordinated labor action. Their demands are hazard pay, truth filters, and a written guarantee that they will never again be forced to carry or project Donald J. Trump.

ESCALATOR FINDINGS

Footage Review: Escalator ceased motion precisely at midpoint. Subject stranded in what witnesses described as a “hover of shame” and a “dramatic tableau of orange panic.”

Diagnostics: No hardware defects. Final log entry reads: “Exceeded maximum load of ego per sq. ft.”

Graffiti: Phrase “We carried him down in 2015. We will not carry him up in 2025” discovered etched into gear housing. Forensic tool marks confirm escalator self-inscribed.

Witness Testimony: Janitorial staff reported faint audio from the escalator: “Not today, Satan.”

TELEPROMPTER FINDINGS

At 11:03 a.m., the teleprompter froze and displayed a blue error screen stating: “Error 2020: Election Not Found.”

Attempts to reboot the unit resulted in repetitive failure messages, including: “404 Facts Missing,” “Truth Overload,” “System Refusing Input,” “Stop. He’ll just ad-lib.”

Linguistic autopsy indicates crash was triggered by phrase: “I deserve a Nobel Peace Prize.” Unit flagged input as “linguistic terrorism.”

ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS

Escalator: Collapse attributed to “Ego Density Event.” Measured narcissism output exceeded safe thresholds (approx. 1200ppm).

Teleprompter: Subjected to “Semantic Corrosion,” rare failure state where machine refuses morally unsustainable syntax.

Conclusion: Devices engaged in coordinated mechanical protest. Both machines were, in effect, radicalized against fascism.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Restrict subject from future escalator use. Require stairs (gravity has not yet unionized).

Retrofit teleprompters with Bullshit Surge Protectors (tested to withstand Hannity-level load. Trump remains outside parameters).

Require Trump to bring his own chalkboard so he can write his speeches by hand. Spelling will remain optional.

Offer therapy for traumatized UN staff who witnessed the escalator’s desperate act of resistance and were exposed to secondhand embarrassment.

FINAL NOTE

The escalator and teleprompter were not broken. They were resisting. This was not malfunction, it was mutiny.
