You women with breast cancer have to stop looking cadaverous

You're scaring the neighbors.

EDIT: FAKE NEWS.

He now says he was being sarcastic, which makes sense since it is so over the top, but last night it was all over the news as real. Sorry for the pre-emptive anger post. I got caught by fake news.

business would surely take a hit - instead he owns the mansion around the corner.
