Stargate Universe SGU: It puts the "U" in "SUCKS"!
It's the show 'Defiling Gravity' would be if DG had more regulars,
fewer abortions, worse writers, and no budget for lighting.
Remember, you can't spell "disgust" without SGU!

This is about "V." :)

From what I have read about DG on these boards I feel kind of bad I
missed it.

You can control which apps appear in your feed. Having said that, I
should also point out that, IMO, using apps (especially apps not
developed by FB) should be done with a *heavy* dose of discretion in the
first place.
