Was up for my local TV program 10 over years ago, and it’s awesome!

It’s one of my favorites! Sorry it’s low quality, but definitely give it a watch! It’s titled, ‘Why Is My Girlfriend Mad?’

That famous people win money or presents! I mean, why? When I saw that the first time I found it very peculiar. When famous people here in Belgium join shows they win money, but always for charity and not for themselves. Do they think that normal people wouldn’t attract ratings?

but i really, really love neon genesis evangelion.

(ducks for cover.)
