(23,869 posts)1. Must I watch? I have heartburn, diarrhea, projectile vomitting, and complete irreversible antifa syndrome
I don't even want a transcript that includes one word that he spewed.
I'd actually prefer a 10 word synopsis. Even AI generated! There can't be more than 10 words that make sense that he hasn't already said hundreds of times before.
Think of all the electrons and sound waves that could be saved by zipping this guy's lip flapping into a 5 second grunt.

I usually write one myself if none is provided, but I thought this one was self-explanatory.

It would be less expensive, we can make it white and he'll be plenty safe locked inside.
Any objections?

Not that he'd listen anyway.
