#2, how could you be commenting on here? There are weapons of mass destruction being constructed AS WE SPEAK!!!

This entry didn't make any claim to be a serious topic, so your comment is just trolling.

Of course there are more serious things going on in the world. I recommend you stop reading useless crap on Gothamist and go to these places instead, I hear they cover serious topics:
