Cleansing agent hero

An Indian city, the name of which starts with D, elected an air purifier as its mayor. It ran on a platform of 'Inhale Clean Breathing, Exhale Dirty Politics'. Its campaign slogan? 'I may suck, but at least I'm honest.'

Within weeks, the air purifier banned all human exhalation between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. to reduce carbon output. Expecting implementation to be like always, people kept breathing out all times of the day, with authorities turning a blind eye.

But the air purifier held an emergency meeting and made sure that the specific time periods for exhaling were strictly kept, threatening municipal authorities with dire consequences if they became lax.


Citizens now communicate via interpretive dance and Morse code blinking. The mayor's approval rating is sky-high. Air of the city, the name of which starts with D, is finally breathable. At altitudes above 30,000 ft.

The Smog Show

Smog got so thick, it got its own reality show: 'Keeping Up with the Carcinogens'. Each episode features dramatic haze and fog rolling inside homes while citizens guess whether they're inhaling air or kitchen smoke of the day.
