2012-07-22

Not a very exciting week social media wise. Of course we all heard the movie theater massacre during the midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rise. My thought are with the family and friends of loved ones who died a senseless death by the hands of madman.Of course now the cinemas have published that no one with weapons can enter…so people with weapons could enter before?

Not to mention the madman has entered from the back to begin with. Lipstick on a pig… but that's what we're good at.
