Not sure what you mean there. But wonder how tiny a cut he'll get from the record label? Give him a copy a StarCraft maybe? lol

There's a huge industry involved in buying fake YouTube "views"/hits. It's been a big scandal in the past few months, since YouTube started showing the origins of views (for instance, all the hits for a given video coming from Lithuania, Kazakhstan, and so on). A couple of large companies lost all of their view counts.

Christ. Kill me now.

Next After Dawn newsletter will tell us that Honey Boo Boo is the highest rated tv show and everyone on it is nominated for a Golden Globe.
Someone told me once that theres a right and wrong, and that punishment would come to those
who dare to cross the line.
But it must not be true for jerk-offs like you.
Maybe it takes longer to catch a total asshole.

psy's song which featured anti amercan remarks was not officialy released in usa.it was also a long time ago and written in anger.psy holds no grudge against american and doesnt preach hatred against americans.
also gangnam style has nothing to do with that.

american troops killed innocent people and were not held accountable and probably still kill innocent people and dont get held accountable.

Of course you are right; The Imperialist Americans should have minded their own business throughout history and let the chips fall as they may.
