man what is going on.

edit: since this post is spreading a bit further than I'm used to my posts spreading, I feel obliged to add: we have suspended this person for below racist comment and you may want to as well, and I am leaving this post up for moderation receipts purposes for now, but please do not go harass/brigade him.
