I've clearly never read Saunders.
It's a magnificent short story, a significant chunk of its charm coming from its literary mode. That it's being adapted at all is fucking absurd; the absolute talent void that is Richard Ayoade being at the helm is obscene.

I searched for cotton candy on youtube, because I saw someone on here mention it and I wanted to watch it being made maybe? Can't remember, I can't sleep.

Anyway this song came up. Thought it was some dumb rapper but it's actually the dingus who featured in that Machinegun Kelly song. He's as bad solo.

There's something about the way he enunciates that just repulses me.

After sitting through that for 20 seconds I was thinking "the younger generation is so lame liking this crap". Then I was reminded of the Prodigy, Powerman 5000, Marilyn Manson, Kajagoogoo, Exploited and others. Every generation is lame.
