The Great Candle Scandal of 2012?

I guess that kinda passed me by without me noticing it.

But because I saw it so much, I accidentally memorized it… And I think, also, it was kind of a coping mechanism when I was a little younger, because when I was a kid I didn’t know how to act ‘normally’, you know what I mean? So, I would watch people and copy what they did, because I was, like, trying to not be a little fucking weirdo.

Swoon.

I also had not followed the original candle scandal 2012, but I have just found this beautiful Drunk History-style re-enactment video posted in 2014. They skip to the key rant.

Ten years from now we can have a silly reenactment of this silly reenactment of a silly rant. By 2072, we’ll all be in our bunkers doing nothing but waiting for the CHUDs to come while we watch various flavors of people ranting about candles.
