It’s a working title since we have the Taco Bell 50K and sexually transmitted diarhea to discuss.

Remember we don’t make the news, we break it!

Cinematic absurd comedy illustration, golden-hour Denver sidewalk outside a glowing purple-and-pink Taco Bell. A pack of sweaty ultrarunners mid-stride on a 31-mile urban course, bibs reading “TB 50K — NO PEPTO, NO PUKE.” The lead runner is being jet-propelled by a visible green-yellow fart cloud blasting from his shorts like a rocket booster, eyes wide, medal already half-melted, one hand clutching a half-eaten Crunchwrap Supreme dripping cheese and Diablo sauce, the other waving a grease-stained receipt like a relay baton. Behind him, a woman in a race singlet chugs a two-liter Baja Blast while a Chalupa Supreme hangs from her mouth, sauce streaking her chin. A third runner clutches his stomach, knees high, leaving a cartoon trail of spicy steam and tiny ringing bell icons. Hovering in the exhaust cloud: cartoon Shigella “superbug” mascots — angry little rod-shaped bacteria in tiny race singlets and neon headbands, bibs saying “XDR,” riding the fart draft like drafting cyclists, one of them holding a microscopic “participation trophy” made of iceberg lettuce. Foreground: a banned-aid table overturned, Pepto-Bismol bottles crossed out with red tape, a Nachos BellGrande splattered on the curb like a crime scene, fire-sauce packets exploding into confetti. Background Taco Bell sign warped into a heat-mirage halo, menu board listing the course rules in dripping sauce: “STOP 4: CRUNCHWRAP OR CHALUPA / STOP 8: BURRITO SUPREME / FINISH: STILL INSIDE YOU.” Style: hyper-detailed satirical poster, gross-but-funny, saturated fast-food neon against sweaty skin and asphalt, slight fisheye, no real logos copied exactly, no nudity, no sex acts — the joke is propulsion, not anatomy. Photoreal faces, cartoon bacteria, magazine-cover lighting.
