Who among us hasn't found themselves attempting to pause a scene just to get a closer look at some of the easily missed details that may have initially passed us by, eh?
Well, in an attempt to secretly poke fun at folks trying to get a closer look at one specific document during Black Mirror's season three episode "Playtest", show creator and writer Charlie Brooker opted to sneak a brief but brilliant message onto the screen.
As Cooper signs an NDA-disclaimer handed to him before testing out a new game for SaitoGemu, slamming the pause button on your remote brings with it the treat of one easily overlooked line a few paragraph's down.
This hilarious line reads, "If you have paused to read this, you will die unless you forward it onto five people within a 28 day period." So, if you have just stopped your "Playtest" experience to check if this particular secret hiding in plain sight is real... well, you better get moving, folks.
