An autocrat could perhaps be vulnerable to the foreign press, so I'll take care not to place the device on such a person. If someone placed a DVD drive on his head, he could get annoyed and throw the device to the floor, following which it would most likely not function. Very logical.

Fortunately a DVD drive isn't difficult to use.

At least most of it seems to have been spellchecked. There's always a silver lining. The device even works.

I'm quite vulnerable to squeezing, but it all depends on who is doing the squeezing!
