        I just read that. ayyiyi. :/ -- nm - b. Mar 14, 20:49 2
        
        based on some other blips I read, I think he purposely included that and some other content to get the media to bite. (which they probably will.) -- nm - b. Mar 14, 21:23 1

  - If they can afford 500K to go to frakking USC, is money their primary motivator? -- nm - Strongbad Mar 14, 18:20 2
