Providers of Substance's live club visuals and designers of this site!
Look at sneakers, read about sneakers, buy sneakers, obsess about sneakers.
www.theonion.comGenerally speaking, satire isn't American comedy's strong point. That's why Friends is on TV 'like' a thousand times a day. These guys did OK.
Display your popularity to complete strangers and be pestered by American guitar bands and terrible rappers in whom you have no interest.
