Word from a colleague: “I love how the screen says ifile … and the voice says efile.” But it was the papercut scene, and the digitally-enhanced voiceover, that stole our appetites.

We can’t hate on something we so deeply pity. So hey, MD, here’s some help. (And warm clammy thanks to Jack for molesting us with this audiovisual gem.)
