The hyperreality of Youtube Unboxing Porn. Better than the real thing. Pure fetish. Baudrillard would have been thrilled, they buy the simulacrum because it gives them more pleasure. [0] Makes sense, they are themselves just simulacra in th

I sense a new and creative way to annoy the EU and especially the French fishing industry boiling up. Who really cares for Hank, Jaques and Bob... Can't remember, is there a red herring in 'Finding Nemo'?

Sounds fun, do they shuffle Beethoven's ninth? Okay, its just four movements, but they could split it by tempi. Don't know if Ludvig van would have been fond of it, but Alex would shive the cables to the mozgs of those bratchnys w
