September 17th, 2007 at 2:39 pmthis is the most pathetic thing i’ve seen all year. whats wrong with your natural eyes? not attractive enough? for the love of God have some self-respect and don’t change your looks just so you can look like a cartoon character. honestly what the fuck is wrong with you? your self-esteem must be in the shitter for anyone to want to look like an cartoon character.
