Jammer's Blog

I like this sentence. It sends a message that desperately needs to be sent. That message is: You can’t yell fire in a crowded theater. As if you needed to be told that.

In this fame-obsessed, mentally bankrupt culture we live in today, apparently so.

Or in the case of this great clip, Stephen Colbert doing an impression of a nuclear explosion. Hilarious.
