We can see it now. Fast-forward to 2010. An ancient Tibetan god called Gozer arrives atop an apartment building near Xintiandi in Shanghai, where it tells the neighborhood's restaurateurs that the next thing they think of will be the form Gozer will assume to destroy their world. Despite their efforts to clear their minds, Bob Boyce imagines Haibao, the irksome mascot of the 2010 World Expo. As he explains, Haibao "just popped in there" as "something that could never possibly destroy us." Moments later a giant Haibao is seen walking towards the apartment building. And then the restaurateurs shoot at Haibao with their proton packs ... and so on and so on.
It will look something like the video found after the jump ... only bluer.
