Must be a slow day in the news if the BBC is just now covering Ben Drowned…

Edit: link to the creepypasta page for the unfamiliar

I also recommend the Godzilla creepypasta for anyone who’s never read it. The ending gets a little too cheesy, but it’s definitely a classic.

I missed him in the Minecraft movie. Or at least someone saying “top-notch”
