        <ol>
          <li><strong>Title panel:</strong> “Taichi Bloopers!!” with goofy stick-figure poses; Granny and a guardian lion are watching.</li>
          <li><strong>Video freezes:</strong> The screen shows a big hourglass — the connection is down.</li>
          <li><strong>Investigation:</strong> Granny follows the long yellow internet cable, gets wrapped up, and gets mad.</li>
          <li><strong>Escalation:</strong> She hooks the cable to her red tractor and yanks.</li>
          <li><strong>Reveal (map view):</strong> The cable runs under the sea, where a Chinese sub was sabotaging it; her yank pulls up the line, tangling a “fishing” vessel and spoiling the operation. Mixed English–Chinese bubbles: “That is a fishing boat!”, “Watch the vase!”, “I’ll take a fish!”</li>
          <li><strong>Footer:</strong> “Map not for navigational/imperial use.” Branding: “By/With Bad Translation — It’s Wrong Both Ways Ltd.”</li>
