OMFG IT'S HORRIBLE. YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE??? I HEARD THAT OUR BODIES ARE CONSTANTLY BEING PENETRATED BY ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION EVERY SECOND OF THE DAY. I'M GETTING TIRED OF ALL THIS TECHNOCRAP. WE NEED TO MAKE THE GOVERNMENT BAN ALL THESE ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES SO WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THEM.

(Sorry.)
