-The [[offtopic:AH.com Ship]] visits a timeline where the [[offtopic:Cuban Missile Crisis]] resulted in a nuclear armageddon, wiping out the entire First World and [[offtopic:China]]. Now it's a hundred years later and the major powers are [[offtopic:Brazil]], [[offtopic:South Africa]] and [[offtopic:India]].

 The AH.commers meet a tribe of post-apocalyptic cannibals who worship McDonalds, and have holy wars with their Pizza Hut-worshipping neighbours (an idea loosely inspired by the role of Taco Bell in the film "Demolition Man"). The cannibals are led by ATL versions of [[offtopic:N-reD]], [[offtopic:DraconisNoir]] and [[offtopic:redrover]], but are ruled by a child 'Elder'. Not for any profound reason, they just can't count the years of his age.  The AH.commers meet a tribe of post-apocalyptic cannibals who worship McDonalds, and have holy wars with their Pizza Hut-worshipping neighbours (an idea loosely inspired by the role of Taco Bell in the film "Demolition Man").

 Most of the AH.commers disguise themselves as Pizza Hut worshipers and go to buy plasma cannons from the CF.netters, but [[offtopic:Grimm Reaper]] recognises [[offtopic:Psychomeltdown]]'s voice and a firefight breaks out.  Most of the AH.commers disguise themselves as Pizza Hut worshipers and go to buy plasma cannons from the CF.netters, but [[offtopic:Grimm Reaper]] recognises [[offtopic:Psychomeltdown]]'s voice and a firefight breaks out. 
  
-Meanwhile, [[offtopic:Landshark]] and [[offtopic:IronYuppie]] go to find the McDonaldites mysterious 'source of power'. This turns out to be a [[offtopic:Successful Sea Lion]]. Landshark uses it to recharge the shuttle's power and they rescue the other AH.commers. IronYuppie takes the three McDonaldites prisoner and keeps them in her dungeon on the AH.com Ship as playthings. They later show up in other episodes.+Meanwhile, [[offtopic:Landshark]] and [[offtopic:IronYuppie]] go to find the McDonaldites mysterious 'source of power'.

 The episode ends with the revealment of a mysterious bioengineering project that Doctor What had had [[offtopic:Thande]] and [[offtopic:Torqumada]] working on throughout the episode - however, thanks to a typo, they've engineered //thespian// Paris Hilton clones. The episode ends with the revealment of a mysterious bioengineering project that Doctor What had had [[offtopic:Thande]] and [[offtopic:Torqumada]] working on throughout the episode - however, thanks to a typo, they've engineered //thespian// Paris Hilton clones.
