Four men in business-suits sitting around a boardroom table. The center figure is holding an old fashioned phone receiver to his head. All of their heads have been replaced with poop emojis. In the center of the table is an HP inkjet printer. The sheet of paper sticking out of the printer bears an ink-spattered 1950s HP logo. Behind the men are two oil paintings of men in suits; only one of the faces of the men in the paintings is in frame. That face has been replaced with the face of David Packard.
