(Oh, and for the record: Peasants ganked from the Kirkleatham Museum in the Borough of Redcar & Cleveland. Google, Yahoo!, and Firefox logos ganked from their respective locations. Streaming green text over black background ganked from The Matrix. Remember, stealing from one is plagiarism, stealing from many is research.)

Nice image! Heavy on the irony and the peasantry, with less direct emphasis on the technowretchedness. Well done. =D
