Dennis Rodman Is Fundamentally Evil
Dennis Rodman is a troll. Before dedicating any more thought to his opinions and politics than you would to those of a subway evangelist, remember that.

Jonathan Bernier Humiliatingly Has No Idea Who Nelson Mandela Is
Nelson Mandela was a South African anti-Apartheid leader who spent 27 years in jail before eventually being elected as the country's first black head of government.
