Delete the “t” in front of “poster”. It’s damaging to the readers.

I can’t say anything about MTV. I’m a grad, I watch Vh1.

I can’t help but wonder how many ways I won’t watch this movie. Way number one: I will read random blogs until science grows powerful enough to make us all everlasting and perpetually connected to the web, moment in which proto-epistemology will delete everything that was once televised. The indictment? Lack of context. The human condition would have become bearable for the first time.

I’ll probably watch it.
