    There are, I'm sure, a lot of slam poets out there who are like "this is rediculous over the top satire. That's not what slam really is." but I been in the game a while now. And I've been to a lot of bad open mics. This isn't too far off the mark. In fact, it's better. And this is becoming my favorite channel.

    You can tell she’s had a very hard life. I’m so inspired she was able to overcome the hardships of the burger that resembled her family’s past. She over came it. She shat 30 pounds of hardship out. She is a true hero

    This is the society we live in. We let poor women eat burgers off the ground, whilst we men eat pizzas from roofs.
    Patriarchy is actually disgusting, we really live in a society

      Snoiper Men's food will always be higher than women's food as long as we live by the notion that men should have a higher place in society. That's why the relegate the homeless and the criminals to eat at the bottom of wells and mines, and all the billionaires eat atop skyscrapers, mountains and in their own private planes. The higher your food, the more important you are.

    this is so heart wrenching. she deserves MORE than 15 million for what those horrible burger kings did to her. you can really tell that these new burger tyrants dont care about their product. the windex should have been more than enough to prevent her from getting food poisoning, but these disgusting people up in the burger throne have changed the recipe to prevent this from happening. truly sickening.

    The meat was bad, but it was good.
    The meat was delicious, but it was malicious
    The meat was great, but it filled me with hate
    The meat was amazing, I hated it
    The meat was slug-like, it orbited me
    The meat was poisonous, it tasted good
    The meat was tainted, I ate it
    The meat was full of bad, I thought It was rad
    The meat was meat, meat
    The meat was full of sick, I consumed it
    The meat was slightly rotted, I bit into it
    The meat was yellow, I put it in my mouth
    The meat was glowing, it was near my oral area
    The meat was full of spider, I licked it
    The meat had poison, I consumed it with my mouth.
