This ALMOST Makes Consumer Capitalism Entirely Worth It
Behold, Star Trek friends: the greatest ever Greatest Thing Ever: If you didn't watch it until the very end, you missed the best joke. Go back, watch it again.
Man, the Holy Roman Empire was SERIOUSLY Messed Up

"Dude, I Don't Have a Jet Ski."
It starts out as just another one of those delightful bits of perverse fake lip-reading...but then, a little past the 2 minute mark, it turns into some much, much greater . I think we've found th…
