Collected by Reporter Virtual and 12 other people
Added April 11, 2008
Nu vreau sa sperii pe nimeni, dar lucrurile nu pot fi luate in gluma. BNR ne anunta ca totul este ok, premierul Tariceanu sustine acelasi lucru, la fel si Basescu. In momentul in care un personaj oarecare imi spune ca nu este bolnav, fara ca eu sa-l intreb, intru la banuieli. Cam asa au reactiona...

Collected by hackedgadgets and 3 other people
Added June 10, 2008
