Duration: PT101.5S
Description: A deadpan mock-obituary: the real CEO reads a solemn 'prepared statement' to camera in one locked-off shot about the mascot's death, with burned-in captions carrying the jokes. A single reveal at the end ends on the dead owl in heaven, and the call to action is to do a lesson in his memory.
