In The Play-Pen: Jako8

09-06-2011 4:56pm#1*Due to budget cuts we regret to inform you that 50% of this introduction has been removed. The internets are costly*
*49% of the remaining introduction has been cut due to its vulgar nature*
So then they changed their name to the Blue Man Group.
It's weird how I got involved in that, though. 
So next up in the play-pen is... well, it's me.
Here are some things people have said about me:
"The trio’s Jack's attempts to recreate the spark that fortuitously ignited their debut sounds a little too calculated in places. 3/5" - The Irish Times
"Better video than Taylor Swift. Maybe even one of the best of all time!" - Kanye West
"I have a problem with people asking me about him because it's no-one's business. I do not want to be answering questions on that for the next ****ing 5 years and if I do then I'll just stop doing interviews again." - Thom Yorke
It's question time! 18
