It strikes me that none of those fairly numerous and involved steps to take in the Crimestopper's Textbook would actually prevent you from being a victim, but they would aid authorities in determining a close to exact time when you were brutally murdered, which I guess is something at least.
That's either an awful cut & paste or she's awkwardly standing on his foot.

Kids do that poo poo all the time. My little sister did that while I was trying to carry her across a loving zebra crossing with a bunch of cars waiting. Then when I finally dragged her to the other side she threw her loving shoe into the crossing and cried till I went and fetched it.

I wanted to see what it looks like to do 82 pushups in a minute and finding a video that actually contained the attempt and didn't just talk about it was a lot harder than it had any right to be. It definitely wasn't worth the effort. But here it is, effort free, for you:

SA is determined to take my time code out, so start it at 50 seconds to skip some Indian dude talking. My favorite part is the supportive audience start clapping to help pump Dr. Joseph's spirits up, but they underestimated how long 60 seconds is so you can tell when they start feeling really awkward about how long this is taking and by the time the minute is up the crowd is just done with this clapping thing and Joseph just finishes to uncomfortable silence.

That hairstyle (?) is really distracting. I'm looking right at those panels and all my brain registers is "grey wedge". It's the single most standout graphical element in the strip and Bettwy is bad at visual jobs.

Pointylips either has the mother of all combovers or is wearing a shooting poopstar but at least it stays in the background.

tl;dr He owns the physical tape, but the NFL refuses to pay for it and has made it clear that they will sue the poo poo out of him if he ever tries to sell it to somebody else. They've also been threatening to pull advertising from media outlets trying to interview him. Serves you Right for Trying Comix.

It's a movie, not a documentary. You hire actors to play students, you don't just film an actual graduation and splice it into your film or, even worse, try to film actual scenes with a real graduation ceremony going on in the background. Also, Mason here is an actor. Not a producer, or anyone who would have any part in lining up locations or extras. What the gently caress is this poo poo?
