It seemed pretty gank to me - but thought she might like it - to the point I was feeling guilt for NOT getting it. Like voting for Obama or something :) Please thank her for giving me all the out I needed to avoid wasting my time and money. Thanks for the gf review on LittleBigPlanet.

1) metal is a breeding ground for hilarity. it’s very didactic, like hip-hop, but as it resurges in popularity in many circles there’s going to be some pushback against the more traditional 80s style “kiss times a million” costuming. lots of potential humor there.
