Inspired by a real incident of hate speech, Cedric makes a vulgar statement live at a football game and comes home to his girlfriend bragging about it. Both his girlfriend and brother are horrified, but he is pleased he is getting thousands of views on the Internet. This single action has consequences that are quite surprising to all involved.
