If I were Steve Furst I wouldn't own up to being Lenny Beige's creator.

Here's something else, but I don't want to start a new thread for it:

Time: Last night, 7:15pm
Place: Outside The Litten Tree, Newhall St., Birmingham
Stuff: A van with the words "The Budweiser (TM) Wassupp TV Crew" on the side, and a man unloading a camera from the back.

I exited with haste. Since this is clearly a sign of the apocalypse, can anyone recommend a good way of killing myself?

Reckon it may be a new national campaign.
Outside a bar on Oxford Road in Manchester is a sign asking for people to be stars in "everyone's favourite" Whaaaasup commercial.
Best get practising.

Please, Christ of almighty, no.

Seeing it written by every retard who enters my chatroom is bad enough, but to have it accost my TV screen in excruciating new ways is too much.

Of course, I could stop watching TV so much... leave the chatroom once in a while and exist in the real world... maybe even leave my bedroom.

No. No, that was a stupid idea.
