Shawn of the Dead or is that Shaun of the Dead. can never remember http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfDUv3ZjH2k like everyone going round ignoring the dead people lying around. zzzz 2000 was in psychology class and they taught this but it was the car method. ie oh someone needs help on the side of the road.. eh next person will help which is what the next person says. But walking over someone who's dying. Well now I know why I avoid black friday. Basically like legal gambling.. (oh wait, gambling is legal now. course when I grew up in WI only the Native Americans had this.  |
