[[Strong Mad]] grabs [[The Paper]], puts on his reading glasses, and reads the email carefully. He then chews up the paper, spits it into a cylinder, and sends it via pneumatic tube to Strong Bad. Strong Mad takes off his glasses. Strong Bad just laughs at the paper and rips it into tiny pieces. This cycle repeats. |

- | + | Behind Strong Mad can be seen a [[Hanging_Objects#Email_Processing_Room|poster]] reading "GET BACK TO WORK!" and three signs that say, "PRiDE," "DETAiL," and "ETHiCS." They include a link to the former website of "The Rumor." The site has since expired and been turned into a weight loss advertisement page. This is notable because in an [[EmailFAQ|early FAQ]], requests for links from Homestar Runner were rejected on the grounds that they do not use links to other sites. This has been corrected in the later [[FAQ]]. It now says that they "link to a couple sites here and there but only when it's appropriate." | |

+ | "The Rumor" eventually became [http://dumpyusa.0catch.com/index.htm DumpyUSA], a website run by Brent McNeal and Adam Sterritt, who are friends of [[Matt Chapman]] and [[Craig Zobel]], the latter being the brother of [[Ryan Sterritt]], who are all Homestar Runner creators and [[contributors]]. The "Pride," "Detail," and "Ethics" signs in the cartoon refer to corresponding signs posted in Rumor South headquarters, i.e. Adam's bedroom. | ||
