My post today is in honor of the innocent victims of the Virginia Tech massacre.





The Legend of Cho (Brought to you by NBC)

The demented Cho has managed to become not only a household name but also a legend in record time.

Showing his film only served the purpose of making a martyr for someone else to try to outdo.

NBC should be ashamed!!!!!!!!!!
