@stickywiggit Oh no don't get me wrong, the footage is fantastic. I'm referring to the commentary, I should have been more specific.

@CheckNate22 Mites are unbelievably tiny. I'm somewhat amazed they got this footage at all.

These clips are made super poorly.

@greenpower0922 I thought I was being dis-informated once, then I realized it wasn't even a word. So as I relaxed in my now custom happy bubble, supplied with pure and true informate, I decided to go ahead and let the government do what ever it wanted. Because, and this is key, it doesn't really matter what the government does. All that matters is that I am fully and completely saturated with truth-steaks. That makes me think of poi!
