I mean come on! My selection of videos watched, rating and favorites clearly indicate that I would be the last person on this planet to have anything to do with the Church of S.

So here’s what I think is actually happening: all those stars somehow have been tipped off by Illuminati that the end of the world I coming soon so nothing really matters anymore. Here it is. And it’s not that they want to simply make lots of money because they are old and are probably going to die soon. They are getting ready for the inevitable – the end is near and lizards will rule this planet again.
