...thrilling fact that boats do not actually race against each other, but against the clock (or more specifically, TAG Heuer, the "official timekeeper" of the regatta) does not prevent crowds from gathering happily on the River's banks to cheer a random boat while munching on overpriced fried dough. Many decide to ignore the race altogether, choosing instead to peruse the booths lining the streets, picking up everything from free corporate paraphernalia to sample sticks of shish kabob...

...plot is, as it can only be for this story, pretty dull. The prince cannot find a princess he wants to marry. A random girl arrives at his house, claiming to be royalty; an uncomfortable sleep due to a pea under her mattress proves it and the two are happily married.

...escape from his micromanaged world only when he is pounding someone else to a pulp with his bare hands. Everything is frenetic, violent, and rough-cut in retaliation against the stuffy conformity of yuppie existence: in this angst-ridden world, movies have violent spurts of hardcore pornography, people commit random acts of senseless whoopass, the corporate oppressor gets his well-deserved comeuppance only after a violent "brawl"-even soap is not the innocuous cleansing agent you might think it is. Fight Club makes it very clear what the effects of yuppie angst are on the rest of the world...
