The New York Times Is Made Of Fail

Posted on February 3, 2012 by ozymandias

I have been sitting on this for a couple days and attempting to find some way to relate it to The Dudez, but I simply can’t. Nevertheless, it is so idiotic I feel the need to share it with everyone, so … Continue reading →

Posted on December 1, 2011 by ozymandias
