All I Wanna Do

  The news that Anheuser-Busch may be sold to an overseas company is more depressing than hearing stories about breast reduction surgery – which, in my opinion, goes against the laws of nature. Sorry, but some girls were meant to have really big boobs, and I was meant to stare at them. Get a good look, Costanza? If […]
