I read the headline, and for a split of a second I got all excited until I realized the impracticality of flying all the way from Brazil just to attend this.

It's like how MST3K-related media always mentions its Peabody Award win, even tho it isn't that hard to get one. It's like, be notable during any single year and you're in!

I'm glad I'm not you, what a horrifying point of view.

"Is it that you people say this shit just to make sure no one judges you at all as being even slightly non-liberal?"
