So next time you’re in Bic Camera watch out for dragon-tattooed men sporting massive tunnel hairdos and purchasing everything in the electronics section.We are not sure where the truth lies in Adelstein’s body of work. However the K.O.K boys only search for one element in their reviews, and that is cringe, of which Adelstein has a surplus.
