A McDonald's McFlurry cup. Under its transparent lid is a poop emoji whose eyes have been replaced with the glowing red eyes of HAL 9000 from Stanley Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey.' The cup is spattered with dirt. Behind it is a 'code waterfall' effect as seen in the credit reels of the Wachowskis' 'Matrix' movies.

The US Copyright Office frees the McFlurry
Figuring out how to illustrate the problems of DRM in McFlurry machines took some doing, but I'm super happy with how the HAL 9000-eyed poop emoji inside a spattered McFlurry cup (fair use of a McDonald's promo image) worked out.
