At 61, I’d say the news that you’ll be spending a MINIMUM of 20 years in prison probably doesn’t sit well.

If you haven’t caught the Bud Light – “Real Men of Genius” ads on YouTube, then you’ll realise, even more, why you’re here. It’s because Seth gives you the stuff that’s important.

Strength in numbers..   SAVE OUR JOBS!! SAVE OUR JOBS!!   Yes, I thought you might enjoy that. It’s obviously not a real pic of the employees blockading the offices. It’s just a joke.
