Today is the Day

• Do you have nuclear robots crawling all over Mars? Again, no one cares about you
• Do you own a gun? Do you own at least 5? Is one an assault rifle? See why we don't care about you?
• The Internet? You are welcome.
• Hip hop? Jazz? Rock and Roll? Blues? Country? You are flippin' welcome.
• Pretty much any movie worth watching? You are welcome.
