It's almost as if the entirety of popular culture is a single sentient being whose sole purpose is to torture the Kid in progressively twisted ways.

At this point, it's probably safe to assume God is just playing a large-scale game of "Throw Some Pebbles At The Gibbon."

Public Enemy minus Flavor Flav

That's it. Usually I try and refrain from posting before I've had my morning three cups of tea, for understandability-type reasons, but it can't always be done.
