This Is The Last Time You’ll See The Word ‘Iwrestledabearonce’ On This Site

frank mullen

your stupid and very angry.
deal.

Lydia

The fucking publicity stunt was stupid and no one has given any excuse for it.

All of the fans who reply to statements that this whole thing was lame, have had nothing intelligent to say in response to it. Instead of defending the bullshit news release that the band orchestrated, they stoop to personal attacks and irrelevant accusations.

Argue with facts. Or are they not in favorite of this shit band?

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1371272524 Will Breen

Here’s the thing, though: the joke is actually completely irrelevant to the argument. What’s being argued here is that the proprietor of this site, when faced with some fairly good-natured, if a bit deceptive, fun, completely flipped his shit and posted an article where he stated quite clearly that he’s going to ignore his job in one particular case for no reason other than petty vengeance, capping it off with homophobic jabs against the band in question. Basically, we’re not arguing about IWABO fucking with people – we’re arguing about Chris Harris overreacting and being a jackass.
DollfacedFilth;

Do they need an excuse for it? It was a very amusing prank. I have never listened to IWABO in my life, but looking through their photoshoot, there is so much comedy in it. None of their photos look serious, and very few taken to match the nature of the black metal genre they claimed to switch into.

The comments are not against the band, but more against the nature of the author, as Will has said. He put his journalistic integrity aside. Instead of reporting the facts, retracting his last article, and adding in a few light critiques: he was blunt and unprofessional. This entire entry is composed of nothing but opinion and slander. He claims he is mad due to the fact that the story is pinned back on their publicist, but he is truly upset at the fact that they pulled one over on him.

I ask you this. What reason is there for any publicity stunt, other than the publicity? I probably still won’t go check out the band, but they did manage to get a rise. Their name was a big topic for a few days there, and still is.

fuck ya dude! give those lame fucks hell. total duchery at epic levels. this is why I read GSA and not blabbermouth of corny ass metal sucks. true journalism is still valued somewhere chris!

HOMOPHOBIA ON *GSA*

its funny cuz they are awesome and u just mad br0 cuz u looked dumb.
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1371272524 Will Breen

Should I call the waaahmbulance for you?
But, in all seriousness, I thought that the joke was hilarious. Then again, this is coming from someone with an almost cultish love for Brass Eye.

Leaves

It might be that I’m also Brass Eye fan, but I gotta say, yeah, this was very funny, especially since - get this – this is IFUCKINGWRESTLEDABEARONCE. Since when have they EVER been serious?

I’m just saying, this wasn’t unexpected, was it?

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1371272524 Will Breen

Also, dude, if you’re so concerned about “providing accurate fucking news”, maybe not lean on your opinion so hard while writing an article; that’s just unprofessional. Just saying, dude. Glass houses and all that.

Lydia

Unprofessional? It’s a metal blog, not the evening news.

Unprofessional would be to knowingly print lies as truth, or to for example leak a band’s album. Sharing ones opinion is perfectly fine.

He said GSA prides itself on giving accurate news. Accurate news and opinion are not mutually exclusive. It only becomes a problem if you claim to be unbiased. News and facts are presented as being news, and the opinions are obviously just opinions. A problem arises when that which is presented as news is false. Opinions by definition are each our own and cannot be false like news can. The opinions and extra commentary are what give the blog character.

This blog entry is obviously an opinion based one, even though it does talk about some news. Most others are news based, and while some might contain an opinion, it isn’t “leaned on so hard”.

kittymeowmeow

hi im lydia and i have too much dick in my asshole to think clearly!!!!!!
—-this guy calls himself a fucking “real-life news reporter” (LOL) and youre trying to say its “a metal blog, not the evening news”? clearly he disagrees….
he IS mixing news with opinion, telling us the Black Metal shift was merely a stunt, all the while creaming over how badly his pussy hurts from being fucked over so hard.
Also giving such a slanderous image to a band whether they deserve it or not is pretty unprofessional, but it IS just a metal blog after all, amirite?

Lydia

You are clearly a fucking idiot. You expect blog writers to be perfect, but in your warped principle world it’s fine to make comments like someone has too much dick up her ass to think? Or that a man, has a pussy? Obviously you aren’t grown up enough mentally to engage in further discussion.

But for the sake of anyone else who is reading, I’d like to explain. There are different types of news outlets. Some are based solely on giving information, others have the added element of also being entertainment.
Lydia

It is you who isn’t thinking clearly. But maybe you would hold my post in higher esteem if I appended the following:

Why don’t you go shove their latest album up your nasty yeast infected maggot stricken pussy and get off on it like you always do. Make sure you have an 8 inch dildo to go up your ass too, as nobody will come near that shithole with an actual flesh cock.

Am I speaking your language now?
Lydia

Mind you, I’m not really saying those things directed AT you. It’s just to show how stupid it looks.

If you’re a woman you should know better. If you’re a man you might consider growing up a little when you post. Your arguments on the net would be taken more seriously.

Thirdguitarist

Yeah but this guy is just pissed because it made him look like a jackass. Which he could have just played it off as the joke it was and NOT look like a little girl. And his opinions were all over this “blog”. ”They suck”, “fucking lame-asses”, etc. They don’t suck. If they sucked they would not be on a record label, have a publicist, or be talked about on an internet magazine that supposedly reports “accurate news”. They are badass musicians and have made a mark on the underground scene and aren’t going anywhere, unless they decide to. The fact that they played a prank is just hilarious and shows that wearing stupid make-up on their faces and painting their finger nails black with fake blood on their clothes and playing a BC Rich Warlock IS NOT FUCKING COOL. They were laughing in all of your faces and you’re all just made that you dress the same way and think it is what makes good music. Wrong-o!! Their style is not for everyone, but don’t hate just because they played a really funny prank. :-)

Nobody gives a shit about what you plan on writing about.

“You sound like a 14 year old boy who just got turned down at the junior high dance.”

http://twitter.com/cedezcobain Cedez Mercer

I expected someone to bitch about this. This is IWRESTLEDABEARONCE we are talking about. With songs titled “Tastes like Kevin Bacon” and “Cory Feldman Holocaust”, why would you take them seriously. If you would have read their twitter after they released that they were going to “shift to black metal” you would have understood that it was a joke and laughed along with the people smart enough to realize it. I don’t take IWABO seriously. And that is why I like them. They have fun. That was the entire point of this so called publicity stunt, to shock people and to have fun. But no, everyone has their undies in a bunch and are being pissy little bitches about it. What else do you expect from a band named Iwrestledabearonce? Seriously.
N.

Problem Euronymous ?
Kemed12

See the point your missing here is that you’re giving the band the press and attention that the whole publicity “prank” was designed to do in the first place.
When will you bloggers ever get it? Do you not know anything about Digital Marketing & PR? By posting this blog you probably just got another 10 people to visit IWABO’s website, potentially drawing in new fans or at least creating name recognition, whether positive or negative, you’re still getting their name out there. And lastly, if you truly beloved that the “black metal” direction was true, you obviously don’t know enough about the band, or about black metal. Props for their PR person, who knows what the hell their doing.

So thanks for posting this! Keep bringing the hits!
Zane

You’re the lamest piece of shit ever. They’re doing what they want and if that means fucking around and playing jokes on people then that’s their business. IWABO is a legitimately talented band who also happens to love being fun and if you can’t handle that then go kindly fuck yourself.

Not a huge fan of the band by any means but this is one of the worst pieces of ‘Journalism’ I’ve ever seen. This rant is nothing more the angry, crying, pathetic words I expect to find in the blog of 15 year old kid. The fact that you claim yourself as a journalist is sad.

Look, I really don’t think your opinion matters. No offense, but flipping your lid and being pissed isn’t gonna really pertain to your readers. Most of the time, people don’t give a damn about opinions in articles. I mean, your opinion is what it is, and it’ll more than likely stand as is, but it’s not going to piss the band off, or make them go to Black Metal. IWABO is out there to have fun and make money no matter what. They don’t know how to deal with press, representatives, or really anything. It’s not like any of this matters, they’re sticking to their genre of music, and that’s what bands should do, The Rolling Stones didn’t change theirs, look at them. What I’m saying though, is if they want to change their style and all, they should altogether be a different band. iwrestledabearonce is just not expected to change their style.
I understand you were on a rant and everything, but you’re not really getting anywhere saying the same thing over and over. I mean, you’re intelligent enough to know to give the truth, and your editorial can have opinion, but you really don’t need to write 10 paragraphs re-stating your opinion, you could’ve cut it shorter and ended on a better note, and in the meantime, less people would have dicked out on you. I see your point, everyone has their opinions, and that can be a big issue when more than one contrast and collide.
Culpritone16

You are a complete fuckin douche. The mere fact that you took the time to whine about this shit is pathetic. It was a JOKE! Get over it. Go to the dr and get some meds for your hurt vagina.

MaChagnon

You know, I read bits and piece of your article, not the entire thing, mainly cause the thought of even calling this journalism would be flattering your ego way too much, if not giving it a relentless handjob, but, God… You have some serious issues.

You’re thrashing a band because of a brilliant publicity stunt? Sure you can say you don’t agree with it. Sure you can say “IWABO will do anything to be popular” but about 85%-90% of the bands out there today are in this industry for exactly that: Being popular. So why bash them? What is your true rational behind this?

So you feel like you’ve been played, I presume? Like they f*cked up your mind? See, I understand it’s frustrating. But you just gave up your credibility, both yours and this websites’ only to publicly show the extent of your rage for some prank? I’ve babysitted children with more maturity. I must say the prank was overwhelmingly convincing and some people have been deceived, but you’re the only one to ever write an online article about this? Damn you must think the world revolves around you!

Oh… by the way, “real-life news reporters like me”? Really? First off, you’re lucky if you still have a job after such a mediocre display of intellect, maturity and journalism. Second, we’re talking about MTV journalism, nothing to do with CNN, NBC, or other channels with “real”, for a lack of better words, journalism.

See, when I read the update iwrestledabearonce put on their facebook page about this website, I thought THIS was a prank. It turns out it isn’t.

This is the last time you see my screen name on this site.
Fuckyou

Hey lets verbally crucify this guy for having an opinion.

ArmlessChildren

Hey let’s verbally crucify this guy for talking endless amounts of shit about one of our favorite bands because he can’t take a joke

DollfacedFilth;

Not even.
He’s being verbally crucified for implying to be a journalist. Yet, he was not objective. He was, in fact, completely unprofessional and out of line.

I don’t like IWABO. I listened to them once maybe a year or so ago and didn’t care for them. However, I am not in support of the attitude and tone displayed in this article. As many above have described it, it sounded more like a temper tantrum than the words of a professional.

Instead of stating he would not cover the band again due to their unpredictable and unreliable nature*, he stated “They fucking suck, they’re fucking fake and I wouldn’t fuck that
butterball of a frontwoman even if I knew that afterwards, in my
post-orgasmic state, the cure for cancer would somehow be revealed to me
in graphic detail. I might pelt her with a dildo, but that’s it”

* = not my opinion, just stating a way he could have phrased it.

Now, I am not sure what her sexual appeal has to do with anything involving their credibility, but his is gone. This is just my honest opinion. If he laid his fact and opinions out clearly, he wouldn’t have been reposted or made such a large example out of.

Most of us have a hard time believing that this post is legitimate. I’m still half convinced it is a work of satire; another troll from another source.

I never heard of your shitty blog until IWABO posted the link to this. Nice job attempting to take low blows at MetalSucks. Too bad they will always have more readers than you. It was a joke get over it. You don’t come off as a very professional journalist, just another douche bag elitist prick.

I don’t think it’s physically possible for somebody to have as much sand in a vagina as you currently have in your vagina.

WOW You seriously got mad at a “Press Release” from a band widely known for their comic side? Two words Paully Shore. He did something similar years back and the true fans that supported him knew it was a joke. The others were left stumbling. If you don’t like them fine, don’t support them. The rest of us fans will continue our support. Now to touch base on a comment reply you made regarding how the fans have taken personal attacks at you. Just to clarify did you not write in your own article that you would ” I might pelt her with a dildo, but that’s it” that is about as personal as a true kiss. Just get over yourself, tighten your drawers and don’t write about IWABO again. Just don’t be bent when IWABO fans drop you and your site like a used diaper.

Did you not look at the pictures? Do you not know the band? It was an obvious joke and all of you journalist assholes scramble to be first, and if you want to make a point and not sound like a douchebag who got the facts wrong, don’t write a huge bitchfest to make yourself look better because you were wrong, littering it with shit’s and pussy wussies, ah? now you have this published and you just look like a big faggot, look at all the people who commented saying you’re a bitch, you look like the one who can’t understand music, one of those who takes it too seriously, one of those who can’t take a joke from a band who’s known for joking.

You salty people don’t care about shit except a singer who is a female in a band that plays metal. Chris is right that the band is a heap of shit that needed to get some time in the spotlight by doing something ridiculous like this and having an “official” press release regarding the matter.

Sounds like a shitty publicity stunt to get some attention. It’s also a total disgrace to black metal. That’s like Justin Bieber adding a downtuned guitar with distortion into a song and then he calls himself the new prince of darkness.

DollfacedFilth;

This is theory. If they keep changing it up, and people like you keep drawing more attention to them, they may last that long.

Sincerely,
Not an IWABO fan

I’m just here to read your comments. The tone of your article was a joke, I sincerely hope. I can understand how what they did may offend you. However, you should not have taken it upon yourself to be so unprofessional and slanderous. As I mentioned above… an informed article retracting your last with some light critique would have gone over much better. While this is directing some temporary one-time traffic to you, it is also establishing you as a joke to a larger general public. The fans of IWABO spread this to their friends, who do so some more: and then people who had never even listened to the bad just think you’re completely incompetent.

GSA is a blog that doesn’t hold back. Yes, the tone of it was exaggerated
for comical purposes. Yes, I’m no fan of them to begin with but I was sent
one picture of them, not the entire gallery that went up the same day MS
debuted that new song. So, I wasn’t aware of the jokey poses. Look, bands
change their names to weird shit, people do sometimes shift styles and
sounds (it never transfers successfully), and not being a fan of the band, I
didn’t know they were some merry band of fools who joke continually. I
seriously didn’t know. I thought they were goofy, but to have a publicist
send out a press release? To people who don’t know this band as well as the
fans do, yes — we believed it because it was coming from a reliable band
source. Blabbermouth posted it, the PRP posted it — a lot of sites did. In
my original post, I said that I would have laughed it off if it were April
Fool’s Day but suspected it could have been bullshit. But I went with it
only because the publicist’s job is to give news organizations, magazines,
and blogs accurate information about a group — not to help a band prank a
bunch of people who wouldn’t have any other reason to know they should
suspect otherwise. This may very well end up showing up in magazines in two
months because they often go into production months in advance. Sure, maybe
this will end up biting me in the long run, but as I mention in my about
section, we don’t pull punches here like a few other sites and we try to
post funny content. Sometimes, it works out. But we do so not anonymously or
through monikers — we tell it like it is, and you can email me and tell me
what you think. If IWABO had known this site was mostly a jokey type Web
site, maybe they wouldn’t have gotten so “butt-hurt,” as they suggest I am.
Maybe they should have looked around and seen the other stories we’ve posted
about them. I didn’t even have to send them a press release and they assumed
the worst. Just like I assumed they were changing styles.

Whatever. I’m over this shit.

Your whiny rant makes their joke even better.
KdoubleEgan

You took it seriously? I bet you believe everything you see in the news. Another big point here… You are hypocritically calling the band Iwrestledabearonce immature, yet you use profanity to portray your view point. We all understand that you take every press release seriously and we understand that your integrity was hurt after this prank… Yet the way you use language and hypocrisy is disgusting and unprofessional to say the least, and it is only hurting yourself and whoever it is that you work for. I don’t claim to be a journalist and I’m sure you can find some typos in whatever I’m writing. I’m not a big fan of the band, but I knew it was a prank the minute it was out.
What I’m trying to say is, it doesn’t take a genius to see that it was a prank, and even if you believed it, it doesn’t take a genius to know that slander and profanity are the last things anyone would want to put in what they would call journalism.
What you wrote here, isn’t journalism at all…
Read it over again and then think back to freshman year of college…
You will realize that everything you wrote was bias, slander, and flat out wrong of you to say just because you got fooled.
Hell, one time my roommates dis-assembled my car and re-assembled it on the roof.
Was I mad? Yeah I was. But I didn’t fly off and start making an ass out of myself, because it would only make me a bigger jerk than the ones who played the prank.
I can’t say that I have read any other posts by you, Chris Harris, but I know that I wont want to.

Real journalists would never post such a one sided opinionated piece as this. You need to be neutral, not fire off your opinions like some 12 year old girl with a music blog…calm the fuck down. IWABO are genious for their little prank. No other band could pull that off. So shut the fuck up and grow up and stop being a little bitch.
ihaveasenseofhumoronce

you mad bro?

preparation H cures even the worst butthurt!
devin

Any idiot that knows absolutely anything about IWABO would have been able to tell that this was all just a joke. Did you happen to look at the entire set of pictures by any chance? It seemed pretty damn obvious to me that they were just fucking around, which is what they always do. Creative bands do creative things, get over it.
Nachoncheeses

So hows your fucking vagina lately? Cause clearly its bleeding enough you fucking pussy did you realize that you’re the only one who actually looks like a dumb ass since you’re throwing such a big fucking fit over this? Now go cry some so you can have some lubrication to masterbate with as you watch sailor moon bitch made
chronicpratika

HAHAHAHAH How the fuck did you ever believe they’d change their musical direction, a press release, really?! LOL ! Knowing the funny fucks that they are, you ACTUALLY took it seriously! hahah kiddo!
Hugo

Dont you call yourself a journalist! hurt crying little baby. Bad loser. you’re just ridiculous, but who cares about the opinion of someone whose mind wouldn’t detect that this might have been a small little innocent prank of a band who doesnt give a shit about genres or posers or guys like you. I’m glad you won’t write about them again. Enjoy

Never heard of you before this very incident, Chris Harris. Man, your career sounds vaguely impressive on paper but DAMN GIRL, you oughta get punk’d more often.

PS. Shut the fuck up.

I can’t believe you tricked me into reading your drivel by pretending to be a serious journalist with a legitimate complaint. This is the last time I will read your name on this site.

hahaha you totally fell for it stop crying and take that dick out of your mouth
Arcaro4207

you know what kills me, is that you lovers of talentless music didnt even realize this article even existed until your precious iwrestledabearone dueches told you about it. flame on flamers, fact of the matter is it was a gay move pulled by an even gayer band. i agree w this article in its entirety.

DollfacedFilth;

Except that not everyone here is a fan of iwrestledabearonce. This article has been posted and reposted by people who do not care for the band; people who are completely unbiased about them. For us, we read this article, and can not understand how this “journalist” takes himself seriously. I read through his credits on where he has been featured before: and it’s impressive. Due to that, I can not understand why he would come out with an article this ridiculous unless he is using it as a publicity stunt himself.

The band seems to have done it for the sake of pulling a prank. Their photos do not seem serious in the least, and they seem to have had fun for doing it. Why blame a band for enjoying themselves, or even pulling a prank? Had this been done April 1st, no one would have batted an eye. No one would have been fooled either.

I don’t blame them for doing what they did, I don’t even care for their style of music. However, I can blame someone for writing a slanderous post instead of taking the issue in stride.

lol looks like someone took their joke a little too far
lol

u mad bro
YoureAFaggot

Haha why don’t you complain some more, you bitch. How professional of you, talking about pelting the lead singer with a dildo. So they played a joke, get the fuck over it. Write a story saying it was a joke and move the fuck on. This is the most immature, hasty little bitch story I’ve ever seen. When I want stories written by a real journalist, I’ll know from now on not to visit this shithole site.

Got a lot of comments on this thing, impressive. I’ve been reading GSA for some time now so I can pull together what everyone here hates. I don’t get it personally (the hate). This spoof was pretty obvious overall, the problem is that Metalsucks has become popular and thereby too trustworthy. They posted it, and someone ran with it, and another, and another, etc, until it became ‘fact’ – well as much as it could.
I don’t see the hate for a gimmick (there have been worse), either from you or from your readers. Hell, I’m going to keep reading because I like the shit you comment about news, so I can’t fault this article at all. Keep it up!
http://www.facebook.com/LankstaWamksta Eric Green

Why would they choose Black Metal to be “the kind of band that will do anything just to be popular”. I hardly ever write comments on blogs but I think your out of line sir.
Bastienmichaux

Professionalism is for people like you who have a job, a shiton of musicians outside won’t ever care about your miniac professional not-to-do because their job is what they enjoy : playing music. You enjoy being the guy who put rules on this insane thing called metal ?
http://twitter.com/croketass Borja EFEE!

quit bitchin’ duuuuude! iwabo fuckin’ rule and you can’t do shit about it, and btw, i think MetalSucks have achieved just a TAD more than this blog, so yeah just quit bitching ’cause you look like a pissed off 5-year.old, and as you reiterate, it was a JOKE!
Tjanisart

What a little girl. This hurt you that bad?!? It’s Metalsucks…..but all they cover is metal. Hmmm how does that not offend you so much? The black metal thing was funny and bad ass.

well chris harris your just crying and bitching just because you didnt get what you want… did you ever think that IWABO just didnt like the way they sounded as black metal, no you probably didnt… do you bitch this muc every fucking time someone dosent do that you want? because if yu do you are super emo bitch!!!!……..ps. you look like a queer in your”about chris harris” phot you look like your ready to take a giant fucking cock in ass hole!!!
tingdurr

“The fact that the whole black metal shift was some elaborate prank the band engineered to make some of us all look like gullible dumbasses pisses me the fuck off”
First off, I hope it is blindingly clear that you are one of the FRACTIONS of people that were gullible enough to believe this story, achieving precisely what was initially intended by the band – to troll people. Secondly, you can barely write in the english language – “make some of us all look like” DUHDUR. So I would stop throwing around big words like “journalism”, because obviously you have no clue what that is or means, especially next to MetalSucks.
Basically it sounds like somebody got trolled super fucking hard and is now too much of a butt hurt pussy to look back and laugh at it. Kinda sad, mostly stupid, but really fucking FUNNY because IWABO achieved exactly what they wanted X10 just because you shat a tampon over this. Hardy Har Har.

Really now? You gotta take that statement in stride, when has anyone ever taken anything IWABO said seriously in the first place?
David Leibe Hart

This whole article is pretty much a unintentional satire on how immature you are. You call yourself a journalist and yet attempt to degrade a band by pretty much calling them gay. Kids stopped doing that in middle-school. You also said you wouldn’t have sex with the female singer of this band? Who cares? What does that have to do with anything besides your maturity level? I wouldn’t have sex with you but I don’t use that as a reason why you suck.

Everything about this article is so immature, every argument is just name calling. You are not a “real” journalist. Judging from this article you seem like a legitimately obnoxious, arrogant, immature person who I honestly can’t understand. It’s pathetic really.
Lydia

You think someone who knows nothing about this band should have known it was a joke because the photos were ridiculous? LOL yeah, because black metal bands NEVER take ridiculous pictures, right?

A lot of my favorite metal is black, but I admit some of the bands have pictures that just make me lmao. In fact, silly pictures that make bands look like posers because they are staged attempts at giving the band a false image for marketing reslasons, are found throughout all subgenres of metal to some degree.
Lydia

^ you’re a fucking idiot.
Lydia

Are all the kids these days saying “u mad” and making tampon insults, or just the iwabo Neanderthal fanboys?

DollfacedFilth;

i aint even mad, tho

It’s everyone, or at least the trolls of the internet. IWABO trolled everyone. Makes sense that a good deal of fans would also be trolls. You understand that there is an online culture developing, internet “memes” and other sorts of entertainment that become popular in daily use. You just have to expect it.

Using it as an argument point for a person’s intelligence would also a wrong assumption. Using simple points and statement are used to get a rise or show their amusement. ‘u mad’ isn’t supposed to be an intellectual argument, but rather another form of trolling. Calling them Neanderthals when they could be, in fact, more intelligent than you would only serve to show your own ignorance. Especially since your lack of awareness to the phrase already knows your incompetence with the cultural aspects of the internet.

S.

Same here.

TL;DR. Got sick of reading “BAAAAWWWWWWWWW” about a paragraph in. Fucking man up, it only made you look like a gullible dumbass because evidently you are one. This tantrum shows you to be highly unprofessional, needless to say I won’t be returning. Go look up humility.

great article. IWABO is a fucking joke
Iwrestledyourmomonce

Anyone calling this a
brilliant pulicity stunt needs to be punched in the throat. Not only is this
band irrelevant to music now but wait five years. No one will remember them let
alone still listen to them. It’s obvious
that none of you half wits realize how something that you may see as trivial
can seriously effect a writers image and website. But then again your biggest
concern is if your small dicks gonna be seen on isanyoneup. This band should be
thanking gunshyassassin for all the exposure they’re recieving which in my
opinion isn’t exactly warranted to begin with.

P.S Don’t judge someones credibilty by where they’ve worked cause honestly you’re the people that continue
to screw up my order every morning at Dunkin Donuts and believe me that shits
getting old too.
