Lemmy users when this makes the front page:

a GIF of Family Guy's parody of the dancing plastic bag scene from American Beauty, with subtitles; while filming this, Peter says "It's like there's this incredibly benevolent force that wants me to know there's no reason to be afraid. Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world, it makes my heart burst." Cut to God on a cloud in the sky shouting "It's just some trash blowing in the wind! Do you have any idea how complicated your circulatory system is?"
