2011.
hungry-camel:
A time when:
- filthy television shows are rated G and PG.
- Palestine is deemed a fake country.
- millions are dying of hunger and millions are dying of diseases primarily caused by overeating.
- freedom of religion is permitted. except if you’re Muslim.
- a choice must be made between eating healthy and paying your rent.
- GMOs exist in almost everything we eat.
- teenage pregnancies are on the rise.
- releasing a sex tape makes you a celebrity and therefore glorifies you.
Great job, humanity.
