Hilariously Sleazy Site of the Month - November 30th, 2009

Today I was pleasantly surprised when I checked Twitter and noticed that I had been followed by @Mirage234, which upon closer inspection, proved to be extremely LOL worthy — and then some. Yes, those are “stacks” of “benjamins.” His Twitter page was hilarious enough as it was without the G-Money MySpace retard-shot he has plastered [...]
