If there is such a thing as a meta-sequel, then this flagrantly silly and self-aware follow-up to 21 Jump Street is it. How so?

A woman has decided to sue a store and an artist due to a novelty flask that was sold. Now, normally such a concept would fall into the category of “Aw jeez, another unreasonably outraged individual,” except … the flask in question uses her 1971 yearbook photo (warning: autoplay).
