The Door of Zap Zap

 

‘Winter will be setting in soon and, without a finished roof, David and Ashley run the risk of flooding their snake pit.’

Because this is The Block: Death Trap edition. Four couples compete to renovate a house with as many deathtraps as possible, to, uh, auction it at highest price. It airs on layered browsers and is not officially part of The Block franchise – if death traps, why not plagiarism?

Mark appeared as one of the background tradies that did most of the actual work. He was particularly proud of a bathroom door which would send lethal current into unwashed hand. For this work, he was paid in BlockCoin, which does not even use blockchain, so he was not paid. Having built the fireplace’s targeting spout, he broke in and stole his door.

It is not about the Door of Zap Zap, it is about the principle. Also Mark is afraid to use it. There is, however, a market for the Toilet Door of Zap Zap. They are professionally germophobic and just fucking done with the standards society is slipping into.

That market is Yvette.
