"Jump or Burn"

"Jump or burn?" Huh... How weird is that? In a building filling with smoke. Hundreds of feet above the street. What will all of those people think? I think, as I watch my co-workers lemming towards the stairwells and suffocation by inhilation. "Jump or Burn?" Fuck it then (I pull out my Bic) Lighting myself on fire I run around in small circles Taking the pain as I am engulfed in flames. "Jump or Burn?" Now I'll jump. I'm a control freak. I'm an entertainer.

Wow, top notch product placement. How much did you get paid sitting at your desk coming up with that one. $650? $850.
