Plot
Professor Awesome is working in his bedroom when Kim arrives and asks him what he’s up to.
He explains that he was cornered by Coach Haggard at school and browbeaten into building a mad science device to do something about the hormonal excesses of junior high school kids. He’s currently building an area effect heteronormalizer that will totally do that “as far as Coach Haggard knows.” Also, he is grossly overcharging for this gadget.
He asks if this is unethical. Kim allows that it’s unethical to sell something under false pretenses, but also that the situation is awful and the coach deserves what he gets. Professor Awesome agrees that he won’t make a habit of it.
