FML Rebuttals

'My Life is Average' Provides Dry Comedy for Normal Days

FML are three letters which have been uncomfortably etched into pop culture through quick stories which provide an awkward look into the messed-up life of another person; 'My Life is Average' is a watered down version of FML that provides white people who think they are clever the opportunity to suckle off the FML tit.

'My Life is Average' has a few good fabricated fables (check out the full collection at the link) but average is only funny when extreme is the norm.
