    I think realizing Hulk Hogan would celebrate a fascist pedophile authoritarian if you paid him enough was the worst part for me, personally. Chuck Norris, too.

      Chuck Norris suggested re-electing Obama would lead to 1000 years of darkness. He wasn’t being subtle even before Trump’s first campaign.

        They’re both pretty gross people if you delve further into their history and it makes it less surprising.

        The most surprising one for me is how MC Hammer was a legit gangster but low key about it after his fame.

            Not sure. Maybe because it’s all word of mouth. It pops into the news occasionally when others in the scene are interviewed and then i guess his PR sweeps it back under the rug. He was known for rolling with a massive security detail and as someone not to be trifled with. Redman spoke about some of the stories if you want to look it up.

          I genuinely can’t think of any at the moment. I didn’t follow sports or anything—i played video games. Not only that but i never cared about the VAs, or publishers, or anything like that.

          The closest thing might be Marty O’Donnel—the video game composer—who is an Israel supporter. But, when i found out, i didn’t really care, tbh.

          However, i promise that I’m much more disappointed in my parents than you are for some celebrity.

            I’m similar, in the 80s all my hero’s were cars, trucks, helicopters and planes.

            Knight rider, couldn’t have cared less who was driving. Magnum PI was only watched for the Ferrari 308, Brown Vanagon and matching Hughes 500 helicopter. Riptide, Miami Vice with the Spyder and Testarossa, Chips, Airwolf, Simon and Simon, Hardcastle & McCormick.

            There is a hero I’m ashamed of though. The fucking General Lee from Dukes of Hazzard.
