Quote:What!? You mean when you're on Aya, Morgan Freeman doesn't show up and start explaining everything that's happening for you? How sad. That's how it's supposed to work, you must be doing it wrong.
Every time he does it, he gets another freckle.
Man, that south park reference just made my day

As far as seeing a black guy when you take aya, yeah thats a bit of an outlandish claim. But to nit pick at her choice of language is a bit of a fools errand. It sounds like while a bit misinformed, the claims she is making about aya are a hell of a lot better than some of the crap I've heard.
