Here in Fort Wayne I know of someone who would probably be /almost/ glad to see something like that, given his semi-coherent ranting in perhaps the most ironic (for our purposes) MySpace group thread ever: http://tinyurl.com/3amrc5 Note that the discussion there becomes almost instantly NSFW, you've been warned.
