Hey freepers versus DUmmies, we would kick thier asses!
Sure those hippies might go well if the task is at burger king, or running a drug festival, but when it comes to Business we would outsmart them every time.

I thought the "Less Filling" vs "Tastes Great" was a bad idea.

This is just stupid.

Asians are superhumans. That's why they are not on the show.
