[Catfish Alley]

I thought that was well known. They tailored the lyrics to cater to a pub crowd though.

We made the GRAND FINAL!

 

[Quivorir]

Too bad you didn't bother to show up to it.

 

[Shell]

Yes. Too bad for all of us.

Saw something on Facebook the other day:

No. of Americans killed by terrorism in the last decade: 24.
No. of Americans killed by guns in the last decade: 280,000+

Mind blown.

 

[Smoooothy]

Yes. Too bad for all of us.

i just had a look at that number, thought it was a bit too high. didn't factor in suicides which seem to greatly inflate that number. still raises a pretty sobering point

 

[Silent Alarm]

Yes. Too bad for all of us.

How can you be surprised?

True. Didn't upset me too much though, I still hadn't come to terms with us even being there.

In the 80's, when they released prozac, road rage incidents rose in correlation with the rise in users of that drug. So did a lot of other shit, like suicide,violent crime, mass shootings, birth defects.

The introduction of newer anti psychotics in the 90's, the same phuqing thing happened, but also the profits of the drug companies also rose in correlation.

Mind blowing literally.

The view count for Youtube clips...just browsing, now this is a classic song, but hello, mind blown....30 million views...and there are many more like it...people just sitting there browsing and clicking over the counters.

FWIW...do the artists make anything out of Vevo?

 

[Scotland]

30 million?

PSY laughs (raffs?) at this.

Pretty much any Taylor Swift release hits 100m within a few weeks.
