Not sure how relevant this is, being a test of US NTSC versions. It
would be nice to know if UK PAL sets fair as badly.

Oh people, know that you have committed great sins.
If you ask me what proof I have for these words,
I say it is because I am the punishment of God.
If you had not committed great sins,
God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.
