The gelatinous zooplankton uprising to take over the world was prevented when they realized that their mechanical exoskeleton (smuggled in to homes by being advertised as a PS3 controller) prevented their Man-o-war soldiers from attacking their enemy...and they could no longer tell the difference between a live human and a mannequin.
