    I don't even know how to approach...

    This is by far one of the most messed up things I've ever watched- for MANY different reasons. I want to give it less than one star because the guy is a monster but I want to give it full stars because the person that had to sit through that interview is a champ. This is literally one of those "you won't believe it until you see it" things.
