I’ll admit I laughed at this, I laughed hard. I know it isn’t nice to laugh but I just couldn’t help it. It is nice to know that in all their splendor and glory models still fall flat on their faces. I’m surprised this clip isn’t longer especially with some of the shoes these models [...]

Some people have completely lost their minds. I will never understand why some people do the things they do. Take for instance some person thought it would be a great idea to stick syringes into the pockets of pants at a Walmart in Cartersville, Georgia.
