I'll take Nationalism + Badass space exploration over Kim Kardashian + Autotune any day of the millennium.

I just wish we'd have dropped a US flag onto Pluto. Nothing like envy to make someone else achieve something great!

Dropping a US flag onto Pluto, at 14 Km/s, would have had the effect of a small nuke. :)

What about, dropping Christopher Walken onto Pluto?

Kim doesn't have a long track record of leading to war and genocide. Nor do autotune and badass space exploration (yet).

Maybe humanity needs to live under a threat of annihilation in order to get its collective shit together? It's a thought that comes to my mind every time I open a news site.

Not visiting websites that you don't like has the effect of making you less cynical IME.
