Remember, kids, just like all other petty crimes, make sure you write your viruses before you turn 18.

I've got money that says PETA will have a problem with this.

"People for the Ethical Treatment of Cells" isn't too far behind.

On the other hand, PETA might like it. If we kill less animals for food, that will allow PETA to kill more animals for no reason at all.

If it was just phone cam pics of what went on in London ok, but it's not. It's got pics of New York and Time Square. What the fuck does that have to do with the blasts in London.
