Glenn Gers and Garbage Pail Kids.

As I sifted through the comments left on my blog during my absence, three people standout. "Emily"- The person who hopes I choke because they don't like what I had to say about Emilie Autumn's book. They didn't go into detail about the critique. They just called me names and said I don't get to…
