Congratulations! You have just proved the theory that there is no limit to human stupidity. Dullard, do yourself and everyone else a favor: disconnect your computer from the Internet.

If brains were gasoline, you wouldn't have enough to run an ant's go-kart around the inside of a donut. I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself on the Internet. Oh well, at least you only charge what your free advice is worth. How true is Stanislaw J. Lec's famous remark: "Every now and then you meet someone whose ignorance is encyclopedic."

Reading your post is less interesting than watching paint dry. If wit was spit, your mouth would be drier than a shallow well in an African heat wave. You are like watching Amputee Field Hockey: pathetic, and very quickly disgusting. Maybe you wouldn't come across as such a jellyfish-sucking mental midget if your father didn't screw a plant and raised a blooming idiot; if your weren't so fat that when you walk down the street, everyone yells "Earthquake!", or if your face wasn't so ugly that visitors to the Ugly Palace pay money NOT to see you. Who am I kidding? You would.

To sum up: you are about as smart as your rubber bow tie and two left shoes suggest, Bozo. Now, go curl back up in your corner, and continue chewing on your toenails.

Fun fact: The entirety of all teenage heartbreak singers don't write their songs, don't record them in more than 10 second intervals, don't even try to strike the right note because it gets corrected with autotune and on concerts never sing live.

But still, only a mere few percent of the profit actually go into the pockets of the actual artist, the rest goes to the record company. Sad thing is that this also applies to the very few artists today that actually have talent.

I don't know if I should laugh or cry that this parody is a hundred times more creative and funny - but also better than the original.

People generally make their lives ambition t be entertained. They dont do this consciously. It just happens that way because as far as we can tell theres nots much else to do. Entertainment then prevents you slumping nto some existential crisis where you cant get awY from the question of wherer the fuck did it all this come from. Why the fuck is it here why isnt something else instad. Why the fuck am i not someting else entirely. Why isnt there nothing.
