    Ha ha it's funny because as soon as you mention LDS church, everyone in Utah shuts up and obeys. I'm surprised they caught this at all, considered plenty of people would have been like "God needed it to build a mall for the angels. It was a divine withdrawl."


    I fuckin' hate my state.

    The joke is that in 2 years we'll all have 2.5 million dollars because the bailout will conveniently inflate it. Should've stolen more than a can of coke and a case of beer, Nigeria

    I thought this was a repost of the nigerian scammers getting more money from that dumbass, but this is just hilarious. Utah just officially became the stupidest state in the US
