OK, I know Miss Madeleine annihilated Sucker Punch last week with a blisteringly accurate review, but after seeing it this week I just gotta throw in my 2 cents.

Websites succeed or fail for many a varied reason. Girls Making Gun Sounds will succeed for only one: because it’s genius lies in its boundless stupidity. Who doesn’t like to hear girls making gun sounds? You’d have to be a communist from the 5th Moon of Pussilvenus, and we don’t cater to alien readers…
