    Stay in bed for 90 days straight? Your body would be f*cked up afterwards. Not worth it IMO. I'll just blow my load into a plastic cup a couple times. Fun and profitable. lol

    90 days? thats my whole summer, thats losing all my friends, losing my gf, losing my car, losing my freedom.

    **** THE 17k more like 170k if u ask me.

    I dont think that even people in prison would be up for this.

    well ya probably can't, i mean it's not like they're paying you to see if you carry on a normal life, just confined to a bed. they're there to see how fvcked up your body gets, how much muscle atrophy and other sh1tty things you go through and just what you'll come out like after 3 months. you might as well be tortured.

    but you're right, i would like to see what exactly happens, so go ahead and sign up for it

    *nerd alert* I'm not even gonna lie... give me a laptop and my World of Warcraft and I'm good lol. Takes me 5 and a half played days to hit 70 if I'm being efficient... But I choose freedom lol.

    I'm gonna laugh when you guys who sign up as a joke get a call in a few months and are like "oh chit!"

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.
