My Complaint About Mr. Eric A Fucking “Anusapple” Peacock

By Eric Peacock | Published: April 23, 2010

My religion has taught me not to be afraid to call someone wrong when he does jerking, says something, wanks for fingerfucking, or engages in something that violates the values in which I believe. The plowing nitty-gritty of what I’m about to write is this: Mr. Eric “Motherfucker” A Peacock consumes, infests, and muff sniffs. [...]
