By the time you got to the chocolate and tattoos, I had no idea what the point was, but I was entertained. Slowly, but surely, my brain is being reprogrammed to accept dessert (weird news, funny videos) in lieu of the main course (real news, societal matters of concern).

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Absolutely hilarious. By the time you got to the chocolate and tattoos, I had no idea what the point was, but I was entertained.
