His sharp looks make up for the poor sound quality. We should not judge him because we do not have a clue about what he's saying. He might just be on our side. May be not, and who cares.If he is well-educated,and he looks it, then he's alright.

[alooferthesexy1]

i would have watched it, but the audio is so F'ing terrible i can't understand a damn word. remake the video with better audio, PM it to me and then i might watch it.

[BasePlug]

I had to sign in just to tell you that this video is not in the least bit controversial. I'd say it's disgraceful, maybe even laughable at best.

All that you really managed to do with this poorly produced piece of s*** is piss on the reputations of the respectable people that you tried (and failed) to commemorate.

You're clearly a well read and intelligent guy. The massive amount of information in the description box makes me think that. Why did you represent yourself like this?
