Do you not see how gross it was for you to assume she was lying and implying that she was a model had something to do with it?

To the concern troll grays,

Condemn the NFL. Seize ownership and give it to the fans of the cities they reside in (see Green Bay Packers).

That’s the thing I was totally there for Ghostbusters mania as a kid, I watched the movies and the cartoon and played Ghostbuster in the backyard and all...

Dude, if you’ve convinced yourself that the older, kinja-less version of the AVClub would go any easier on this trifle, I don’t know what to tell you.
