I think it's hilarious that people think this was the doing of the government directly and not of the contractors who built the website.

Pretty women in Hollywood are nothing new, but there is something so mind-blowingly gorgeous about Jennifer Lawrence. I can't define it. I feel like if I ever saw her in person, my entire nervous system would just seize up.
