Neither is every AVQ&A, but that's not stopping a hell of a lot of people from reading this one in completely politicized terms.

No reason? But it lets the air get to them!

Maybe the gerbil was deleted? He was getting pretty racist toward the end.

OMG SRSLY LOLZ wait, who brought up video games? Oh well. ROTFL
