| Just sayin. He gets the biggest pass in cinema. |
|
Mar 08th 2010 | 48
|
| He's racist. I believe it. My question is, |
|
Mar 08th 2010 | 54
|
| seeing as we can't even get people to admit it, let's start there. |
|
Mar 09th 2010 | 79
|
| Nope. You have to give people a reason to care |
|
Mar 09th 2010 | 143

Mar 08th 2010 | 37
|
| For the sake of argument, he didn't have to use the word |

Mar 08th 2010 | 39
