Becoming an irony shitposter one degree removed from 4chan, as a bit

"Who can Italian-Americans look up to if not Columbus?"

Michelangelo, literally raised high on a scaffold sixty feet in the air: Ah, c'mon!

I mean I'm sorry Leonardo and all the other ones they named turtles after are all gay, but that's not enough for you?
