Customer Reviews
Venture Capitalists
I love the distain in Calvin’s voice when he calls Burnleys new American owners “venture capitalists”. Just utter contempt and disgust. I’m sure he’s broadcasting live from his 400sf apartment in a faceless pale yellow building as he says this. He’s just a regular bloke waiting in line for his daily ration of bread and vodka like everyone else.
