Revision as of 18:46, 20 August 2012

Just in case the Oscar mummies don't recognize the subtle dramatic undertones of the uninterrupted blood explosion that is Meet the Pyro, we can always stack the deck at the Saxxys, our own awards show. This year, expect the Saxxys to be much bigger and better, due to the imminent unveiling of another secret. Is it that we're giving Meet the Pyro five Oscars? That's not the secret, but let's just say we'd like to thank the Academy. More specifically, we'd like to thank the Academy's lawyers for not reading this blog post.
