December 30, 2008

This has to be one of the most awesome poetry ever! ^_^ It is basically about how ridikulus woo is, and you will basically see the character “Storm” make the usual diatribe supporting “alternative medicine.” Well, as the poetry says, you know what they call “alternative medicines” that actually work?  Medicine.

Seriously, only stupid actors dominate the news, maybe because stupid acts are more newsworthy.
