      Holy fuck you’re not kidding. I assumed when you said that it was going to be just shit all over the place. The ads weren’t super intrusive? It was easy to read? But when I got down to the bottom there was shit about a homeopathy treatment for neuropathy that has left scientists speechless.

      How the fuck was that on AP

            Three dumbest questions I’ve seen today -

            The ads weren’t super intrusive?

            It was easy to read?

            I don’t get how you got to the point where you had to actually ask that question?

            None of these are questions 😂
