NewsReader: "The on-going legal case over unfair advertising in the Kindle advert rumbles on. Today the court was taken to the forest in the advert."
(cut to VT report) scene: the clearing is filled with the court and entourage. At the very centre is a metal mesh cage, about 7 foot high and 8 foot square. Sitting in the center of it is a person with a tin-foil hat, holding something wrapped in several bags.
NewsReader voiceover: "The complainant showed how, whilst sitting in a faraday cage in the forest and holding their Kindle inside four electrostatic protection bags, they were unable to reliably download the books. The defense counsel questioned if it was reasonable to attempt to use the Kindle in such a fashion. The complainant replied that there was nothing in either the advert or the user manual that stated they shouldn't attempt such use, and that it was essential to take such precautions against unfair spying. The case continues."
