Doom’s. Last. Stand.

I will let you make stupid videos.

I will humor you with a pity smile when you make me watch another round of dramatic gopher.

I will make like I enjoy your fascination with celebrities.

I will pretend that commercials are clever.

I will act as if your replies to said commercials are witty.

I will remain silent when you try to troll me.

I will act like I don’t think you are compensating for penis size because you drive a new version of an old muscle car.

I won’t say a word when you drive by blasting your music out of over-sized speakers in your piece of shit car.

I will turn a blind eye to your complete lack of understanding that the way you dress makes you look like an idiot.

I won’t slaughter your children even though I know they inherited your genetic makeup.

I won’t eat your pets to spite you.

I do it all because I know, one day, all you sad sacks of shit will be dead.

(I am not amused by this or this.)

This was a move to limit the people of the UK. Moreover, it forces them to purchase hardware to support the DRM protections on their televised programming. Read more »
