Blog Post Excerpts
"Whoever photo shopped our poster must have done so at taser point with 3 minutes to fulfill their hostage takers deranged obligations. They should have called Donnie Hoyle and had him give a tutorial using "You Suck at Photoshop" templates. This is so glossy it makes Entertainment Weekly look wooden."MySpace: Blog Post (August 13, 2008)
"The left side of my face seems to be melting off of my skull. I guess I am looking directly into the Ark of the Covenant? Are they going for the bells palsy thing here? My left side looks like Britney Spears' vagina."MySpace: Blog Post (August 13, 2008)
"It's no secret that I'm more rugged facially due to a drunken visit by the teen acne fairy, but according to this poster I've got perfect porcelain flesh. I look like the f***ing' bathroom floor at Caesars Palace. One of Marie Osmond's dolls would look at me and say "s**t ... that guys got flawless skin!"MySpace: Blog Post (August 13, 2008)
