Indeed...considering the sludge coming from Hollywood these days.
God has a WONDERFUL sense of humor. :^)
“stars”... “sewage”... “celebrities”
How does one tell the difference?
Even the sewage thinks today’s Globers stink
When I saw the headline I figured the MSNBC crew showed up at the awards.
The real sewage is the movies and TV Shows they put out.
Shame on you! You know better than to post something from the Daily Mail in News....it's garbage! heh heh
In regards to the article.... tell me God doesn't have a sense of humor!!
Poetic justice
Actually, I think the word is irony but poetic justice works well, too Maybe the the residual bacteria has a role to play here as well.
