Fishing for iPhones in the Strait of Hormuz

Cartoon meme in the expanding-brain format, four rows. A masked cartoon fisherman in a tiny wooden skiff on a choppy sea holds up a fish (FISHING FOR FISH), then a sealed white phone box (FISHING FOR IPHONES), then a gold perfume bottle (FISHING FOR FRENCH PERFUME), and finally tows a giant red shipping container behind his smoking little boat (TOWING THE WHOLE CONTAINER HOME). The brain on the right grows from dim to cosmic. Details: an EXE sticker on the boat, an exeindex.com buoy flag, a floating newspaper reading F-35C LANDS ON CVN 79, and @exeindex in the corner.
