Definitions of Safety are up-to-date

A comic like, absurdist drawing depicting an indoors office scene, with an executive (slightly bald man wearing suit and tie) being interviewed, saying "In fact, our company will make sure all our clients get the latest update. We must update everything ASAP so we can keep a safe society". The reporter (a man wearing a different suit and tie, an earpiece, with slightly supernatural connotations by having purple irises and slit-shaped pupils deeply staring at the executive) holds a microphone labeled "HTTP 500 News" next to the executive's mouth. Behind the executive, a desk with two computers, one of which is displaying a classic Windows XP screen while the other is displaying the GNOME logo and a terminal emulator. Further behind, a door labeled "CTO" is opened at the left corner, revealing the inside of the executive's room with a computer branded "Hell" (pun on "Dell") and an AC unit branded "Ar-ctic" which is emitting some smog. To the right corner, there's a coffee break place with a water dispenser branded Hg:P (Hg is the chemical element mercury) loaded with a water jug branded "Poison fresh 7% Hg 20L" (mercury element again), next to a small table holding a smoking coffee machine branded "Anxiety" and a coffee mug labeled "HTTP 500" from which coffee is spilling all over the table. Above the coffee break place, another AC unit, this one branded "Air CO2ndition", reads a smaller label "Solar powered polluting device" and is also emitting some dark smog. The middle of the wall has a large window, partially blocked by blinds, showing a very surreal outside plunged into chaos: lots of fire are spread across a skyscraper skyline, with a nuclear mushroom raising at distance; a satellite is falling ablaze; two robot like silhouettes with red glowing eyes, both of which are wielding machine guns (Terminator), are firing towards a parachuting soldier who's firing back at the robots while falling from a plane which is falling down and ablaze; a meteor is falling down so fast it's accompanied by a sonic boom and lots of plasma from an ionized air; a caricatured Jesus Christ (a barefooted man with long white robe, red sash, holes on both hands and thorn crown) hovers mid-air, hands to his head as he screams "daaaad!!!" while looking at another figure (better drawn; actually She's the most detailed figure across my entire drawing) resembling the classic Hindu depiction of Samhara Kali (powerful blue-skinned feminine figure with multiple arms, wearing a crown, a skirt, bracelets and a collar of skulls), who's also hovering while staring directly at the viewer and wielding Her traditional weapons (trishula, scimitar, fire torch, among other sacred objects); a flying saucer is discreetly at the lower right corner, emitting a cyan beam; an avenue or highway is faintly visible with seemingly a car jam, implied from the trail comprised of red lights from car break lights, and there are some blue and red lights from emergency vehicles which are also stuck in the traffic.

I guess this is so far the most complex drawing I made (as in, a multitude of details within the same scene, including seven human-like figures and my attempt on drawing a QWERTY keyboard and a desktop screen until I gave up on the keyboard because drawing a QWERTY keyboard can be pretty boring), with small Easter eggs (some spoilers in the alt-text)...
