In this chapter, Shmoop explains that the competition for the promotion of the "21st century team" has begun, and that it is a "humiliating experience" for those who are chosen for other positions. He explains that there are "weird quotas" in the world, such as the Japanese government's "hokkaido quota" for morning members, the American beef import quota, the Japanese magazine "ghi li quota," the Brazilian "myojin quota," and the "large-breasted quota" of "miss magazine" . He also says that the manager of the team is an "android," a "super-computer" , and a "pretty girl club" of 21st-century "weirdoes" everywhere.
