For fux sake Mr.E,Our Dear Leader,what the hell are you doing to us??

This is disturbing in the extreme yet somehow strangely fixating...

The strangest music i think i've ever heard-and to think i muted an Alex Harvey track i was listening to in order to hear this...

Strange days indeed.

I don't need A/C since they opened the windows and fixed the bars.

It's so cheerful!

Oddly enough though, I feel like I've just been hypnotised.

It's like a student got hold of a simple animation package and decided to take the mickey.
