This man's control of the ether is still a bit shaky; the reception wavers a little, but forcibly reorients itself every time with the sheer power of bullheaded will that is John Constantine. His message is broadcasted loud and piercing, as if he wants the attention. He's pulling your head back from the gutter and forcing you to listen.
Right, I've got a joke. So prick up your ears, you sods.
Once upon a time in the Kingdom of Heaven, God went missing for six days. Eventually, the Archangel Gabriel found him, resting on the seventh day. He inquired of God, "Where have you been?" God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds, "Look Gabriel, look what I've made." Archangel Gabriel looked puzzled and said, "What is it?" "It's a planet," replied God, "and I've put Life on it. I'm going to call it Earth and it's going to be a great place of balance." "Balance?" inquired Gabriel, still confused.
God explained, pointing to different parts of Earth, "For example, North America will be a place of great opportunity and wealth while South America is going to be poor. Over there I've placed a continent of white people and over there is a continent of black people," God continued, pointing to different countries. "This one will be extremely hot and arid while this one will be very cold and covered in ice." The Archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed to a small populated area in the land of Great Britain and said "What's that?"
"Ah," said God. "That's Merseyside, the most glorious place on Earth. There's a beautiful river, glorious parks, and buildings, great music and world dominating football teams. The people from Liverpool are going to be modest, intelligent and humorous and they're going to be found traveling the world as expatriats. They'll be extremely sociable, hard-working and high-achieving, and they will be known throughout the world as diplomats and carriers of peace."
Gabriel gasped in wonder and admiration but then proclaimed, "What about balance, God? You said there will be balance!"
God replied wisely, "Wait until you see the lazy, arrogant, b'stards I'm putting next to them in Manchester."
A burst of laughter. So this is the ether? So this is what he'll use it for.
