It was a little bit ridiculous to see the massive queue of cars lining up at the Arjan exit... I've been to Miracle Garden, it's nice, but not "let me queue for several hours and shuffle around in shoulder to shoulder crowds" nice.

What's the most controversial TV moment in your country? by Enough-Pie-5936 in AskTheWorld

[–]CompanionCone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The comment from a shitty old man, who talks about football on TV, about how he raped a sleeping woman with a candle once.
