Yes David it is and Albanians, you have won the spot the hypocrite award.
Please write into claim your 5 gift certificate, balloon, and novelty Roy Rogers laxatives.
There is a heck of a diference between an honest description of life in war time, and hate full bullying of minorities for cheap laughs.
