Does anyone know how to get that option in Timeline when you can save this boy from getting arrested at the party? You can pretend to be his mother or something like that. I only got it once and I cannot get it again.
eko, I just discovered you, and saw the Bob Dylan video for Rolling Stone. I have to ask, how did you make that video? Were all of those people on all of the channels paid to sing the song? Was there some other trickery involved? Is this some kind of witchcraft?
