 Conversation between the bored dudes in background:

Dude 1: Man, this park is lame. Nothing ever happens here except old people running out of bread for the pigeons and then being attacked by the whole flock
Dude 2: Yeah, too bad life isn't cool like youtube
Dude 1: No shit, how sick would it be if one of those parkour guys randomly showed up and backflipped off that water fountain??
Dude 2: What? Dude, those videos are all rigged. People can't do stuff like that! Extreme sports are like WWE, totally fake
Dude 1: You're probly right.. Thank god for video games!

...And in the meantime, right before their very eyes, damning every word they've spoken, an eclectic cocktail of balls and steeze is both brewed and swilled in sub 3 seconds
