And the same company that shows us a group of starving castaways, one of whom manages to rig together a system of monitors and pieces of satellite to achieve online status-- and proceeds to use the precious internet connection to "build his own card." <br /><br />The image the starving castaway uploads? A picture of himself, trying to eat a massive burger. Much "hilarity" ensues.

Nobody wants a picture of your family having fun. We have met you once, like at some distant relative's funeral or something, and now every Thanksgiving we get a card from you guys about how much fun you had in Canada.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
