Does Poe's Law Apply Here?

If you’re tired of your mundane existence of forlornly sitting on your couch snorting a bowl of cheetos and want to get at least some glimmer of what epic is like the shadow of reality on the wall of Plato’s cave, check out the latest addition to my blog list –  Razorfist’s YouTube channel [https://www.youtube.com/user/xRazorFistx].

Eye of the Storm
