Guest editorial: No, if we’re honest.

No.

Say it.

Say it and mean it.

Holler Sydney helping Japan

Subservient chicken + Warioland // The Expendables + John West Salmon = The Tippexperience

Some will consider it as a copycat, others will take it as a tribute to famous memes. Try “tickle” for example… Agency : Buzzman
