  • Her soul is as ugly as her mug.

  • "Consumer Power"? Sounds like quasi-manipulation of the individual for parasitic benefit.

  • ..."i don't know if it's ethical to manipulate children"...........she should not be allowed to have kids if she does not know the answer.

  • @TheSamuraiGoomba She's a highly functioning sociopath it's sickening beyond measure to realize how prevalent these monsters are in our society!

  • How funny that she "doesn't know" if it's ethical to manipulate children. What a convenient malfunction of personal morality.

  • Fuck you Lucie. Leave 'em kids alone!

  • Nice video, you'd think it was a parody but that's what happened at WalMart when the door greeter was trampled to death.
