So, I haven’t been particularly interested in the college entrance exam where two celebrities have been nabbed via FBI sting. I did just read an article about in the New Yorker and that left me with many more questions than answers. It appears that the actual perpetrator of the crime one William Singer turned states…

Irritating people
