As the camera turns, we find something has gone horribly wrong. Those shots that were fired in the last round? They're all clones of Ballsy's Pirate Zombie Corpse and they're gunning for the sky! By the sound of the backing track, they're being fired towards what I can only guess is some sort of hoe-down taking place off an Alabama backcountry road. I don't want to know what comes next.
The sky's the limit on this one as Ballsy takes flight. Where will he land? How did one ball become five? What of the cruise ship tennis court? I mean seriously, Ballsy was on a cruise just a moment ago, sippin' mai tais and shooting things in revenge and now he's headed for what could certainly become his death.
Now I'm starting to see why congress is pushing for a ban on cloning.
