Anthony Stark bursts into a conference room, anticipating a myriad of shouts and excitement, only to find empty chairs and a single camera. Are those cobwebs in the rafters? This place is a ghost town.
"Jarvis, any ideas?"
Sir it appears all members of the media are on strike. Nobody has been here for nearly a week.
"Explains it. This what the world has come to? Huh, lazy."
Sir I should note that you are in the top 0.01% of wealthiest people on Earth, while members of the media make a hundred thousandth of your total earnings.
"Didn't ask Jarvis no need to make me feel like an asshole. Let's get this over with."
Stark walks up to the camera and turns it on, pointing it at a podium. As he approaches the podium, he begins his address:
"Members of the ISFL, this press conference was supposed to be a celebration. Of me. In case you missed it I recorded my first career interception in the DSFL. That's worth something right? Instead I'm rewarded with an empty conference room and a single camera that looks like its been salvaged from a junkyard. What is this, 480p? I haven't seen a single news story in almost a week. My phone has been silent, I haven't had any interviewers to put on hold and its driving me nuts. So, to the heads of what we call media here, how bout you pay your people better. I'm imagining the reporters here applauding me as I speak. Yes, thank you, thank you! Goodbye."
