A three-headed jack-in-the-box, sproinging out of a box bearing a Facebook terms of service update notice. Each of Jack’s heads has been replaced with the hostile red eye of HAL 9000 from Kubrick’s ‘2001: A Space Odyssey.’ Each head wears a top hat. Two of Jack’s six hands have been replaced with Facebook ‘thumbs up’ icons. Each of the three aspects of Jack brandishes a cruel whip.

Behind the skyline looms a giant poop emoji.
