Fat shaming. Seriously, I’ve seen lots of stuff on FB that would be called pornographic in many circles. Usually hot women, though.

Don’t miss PewDiePie’s latest where he just completely EXCORIATES her in his tongue-in-cheek, completely nice manner.

And if you don’t know who PewDiePie is, you should. This guy has 60million+ followers on YouTube, that vid has already been watched 3 million plus times. Huge following of millennials and post-millennials. And he says enough politically incorrect stuff many expect YouTube to ban or demonetize him any minute now. He could literally be part of the core around which a true YouTube alternative could be built.

He’s quite an interesting cultural phenomenon. Got his following as a video game commentator/reviewer/player, but he goes well beyond that now.

I’m honestly a little surprised a 30,000 old hunter/gatherer could be so successful as to be obese.

Whodathunk?

I know it when I see it and that ain’t it. Facebook has become one of those places that nobody goes to anymore because it’s too crowded.

He’s still completely unwatchable.

The editing was done by a murderer who just got done murdering is coming down off the high / up from the low or whatever. But I used to describe this as “What it’s like to be a high-functioning Aspy” but now I think it’s worse than that.

Even if he has something good to say, the way he says it is just intolerable.

I don’t think that she’s obese, I think that she’s pregnant.

Possibly, because the guy who carved it looked like this.

"Why do people Facebook?"

Apollo astronaut Buzz Aldrin once said something along the lines of, I imagined we would have colonies on Mars by now but we have facebook instead.

I never said this, the person I replied to said this.

But being pregnant and “well fed” is something our ancient ancestors WORSHIPED.

After all, the leading cause of death then was not enough food and not enough offspring... MAKE SENSE no?

Lucille Ball, Clifton Webb, William Bendix. I have a VHS of it somewhere. Don’t remember the sculpture.

I thought PewDiePie lost all his sponsorships because of anti-semitism?
