There's a good reason fast food is so popular.

So either get pissed at both sides for war crimes or get pissed at none.

Yeah, not many people are taking that step.

It's almost like they're the government or something.

No, she's really not that talented, she's famous because her dad was rich.

You couldn't make this shit up.
