"And another tip for people in airports, Paula, don't operate your cel phone within 50 feet of a suspicious object, you could inadvertently set off an explosive device!"
Will we ever realize that every time we flip out like this - force women to sip their own breast milk, hire people to sit in front of a camera and scare the living shit out of viewers, they win.
