I think that wins for most callously awful idea I've heard today.

You drive to work, you drive home, and you watch them. They don't even realise that their cars have transparent bits. They are at their most genuine, because they are alone, or alone together ( Read more... )

I have never been one to hate humans. I know a lot of humans are, that their rocks are most thoroughly gotten off by writing about how abhorrent we are in every aspect of our being.
