Love, sex, riot colliding at the zenith of one climactic carnal collision, as the hums of melodic death eradicate the needless sexless organisms and lay bare two desires barely hanging on to their last breath. Cronenberg discovered the new sex within the debris of near death SEXperience! (I'm sorry)

He shouldn't waste his time doing obnoxious youtube pranks and start putting his real talent to good use. Also, I get Laura Basuki now. I've been missing out. So I'm gonna make it official. Here goes... Selamat malam, Laura Basuki.
