Have you noticed a sudden spurt in activity by them lately, chiefly in the person of US celebrities with no brains. Some basketballer and a couple of pop singers. As you'll see from my other posts, I think ideas are doomed once they're endorsed by celebrities. I'm planning more posts so keep watching!PGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03986937179435797959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3883232089716515874.post-43050735294409658892017-04-03T10:44:45.066+09:302017-04-03T10:44:45.066+09:30It is a concern that you take gentle aim at the Fl...It is a concern that you take gentle aim at the Flat Earth Society.
