Adam Brody is voting for Abdul El Sayed. This will break the brain of that racist, who plays his mother on Nobody Wants This.

Not going to bother sounding particularly insightful here, but the older I get the more i'm like, "wow, animals are incredible." I'm donating to some animal charity like once a week at this rate. they got me.
