Pointless quote of the day, 05.16.12

"[W]hen I was 12 years old, I was beaten on the playground. Just like the Mitt Romney thing, I was held down and somebody just punched me in the face while other kids watched. And if I could go back to 1968 and trade that experience for being gently masturbated by [Michael Jackson] I would do it in a second."
