Media, reality, or chemicals?

Humphrey believes he may have experienced something that felt like an acid trip this evening. He's unsure if the media is filled with distortions, reality has gone wrong, or if there was something in his salmon.
"Area residents find live snakes in the toilets!" announced the local news, with disturbing video (Humphrey paraphrased). More than one! In different places! He put on his Groucho Marx disguise and lied down in despair, hoping that runaway snakes would not make their way westbound to his toilet.

He quickly changed the channel, feeling mildly freaked out.
"So there will be full employment for R2-D2 and for the Transformers, but the total number of jobs here, very speculative," said the man in the suit on CNN, who turned out to be Rep. Ed Markey (D-Mass.). Congress was talking about an Arizona mine.
Humphrey shook his head rapidly and tapped his ear. Was he really hearing this? Robots taking away jobs? This is worse than snakes!
Sadly, yes. That was precisely what he heard.
Now, he can only hope that reruns of the Big Bang Theory will start soon so he can regain his mental stability.
