Some stoners were playing this video game called Burnout Paradise (of course), and they noticed a funny billboard in the video game.

10:28 — There you go. It’s over. Economic populism + war sucks. “Historic backbone” again. Our backbone is historic, our blood is precious. That was actually pretty fucking good. And now NOW CBS IS FUCKING SHILLING FOR THE POLITICO ARGH WE ARE SWITCHING TO NBC IMMEDIATELY.
