Britney Spears, Secret Agent

HAHAHHAHHA

The Lester & Charlie Review

culkin

We at the Lester & Charlie Institute of Forward Thinking like to fancy ourselves as being up-to-date on important things. We know how to search Google News, and we get regular Facebook updates from things like LOLCats and George Takei. We’re pretty sure we’re not missing anything important.
