Is there global issue that can't be solved by a witty youtube video produced by insulated white Americans? You hear that, Africa! Your children should be in enrolled at your local suburban high school! Knives are wrong! Shame on you!

I worked at McDonalds for $5.15/hour for a year in high school. I was satisfied because it was better than working as a bagger for the same wage, minus "union dues." These jobs aren't so terrible as they are numbing. I don't remember hating

Actually, I'm thinking: wow, I voluntarily watched an advertisement for a geek sports rivalry. Go gray! No, go blue! Let's talk about this at the watercooler and pretend we share something to care about in our vapid, disposable lives!
