March 17th, 2012 · 1 Comment · Social Commentary
I can’t believe I’m going to say this but I’m voting for MOB WIVES. At least they’re being honest. The producers of Mob Wives at least are giving the dumbed down public what it knows it’s really tuning in for. Video Violence. And the latest challenger is Brooklyn 11223. When I was a kid and [...]
