Hey everyone, I invented a box that you keep in your pocket and when you take it out of your pocket it makes you really angry or sad.

It will cost seven hundred dollars.

You’re all a bunch of pervs, I just see two vases with a poem written in the space between them.

Also the space between them happens to have a young girl’s breasts. And public hair. And the poem is about having sex with young girls.
