A new take on a veritable classic piece of literature adapted to suit current affairs.

The Lion = Y
The Bitch = X
The Torture Chamber = XC2 or H (or the bitch multiplied by conscience squared and/or H for Head)

if Y = X(XC2), then you would feel sorry for Y no?
if X = Y - XC2, then what does that leave?

Try and apply logic to an area where there is none and chaos will rain.
