The Greatest Product Description Of Nutella In History
23 Jun 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
As far as I’m concerned this man should be their next brand ambassador just for this description of what Nutella tastes like. Not only did I read this and imagine it in full colour, but I have now been sitting here waiting for the day to end so I can go home and eat some. And Google naked pictures of Megan Fox.

The Naked News Is Not Porn Says The BCCSA
22 Jun 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
I have watched “The Naked News” but once and I really do not understand why people kicked up such a fuss.
