Yeah I'm sad to say we've known that for years

Additionally, knowing so much about Vince McMahon behind the scenes has made Trump somewhat easier to understand, because they're pretty much literally the same person. Or maybe two sides of the same coin. Trump has the mainstream media attention McMahon craves, and McMahon has the actual financial success Trump craves.

Is it weird that I actually don't think this reflects negatively on Trump, given the past couple of years?

We already knew he was clueless, I didn't know he was capable of caring about a human being that wasn't him

Makes sense, Vince always tries to pick the top face instead of getting behind the guy the people want.

At least he didn’t train it to rape dissidents, as South American dictators have been known to do.

I don't know why I'm sort of defending Vanilla Ice, but that's a pretty misleading headline. There's no indication he was saying that as a justification for doing the concert, which apparently will be outdoors. He was just saying how cool the '90s were. And being a Vanilla Ice concert in 2020, it'll probably draw a small enough crowd to maintain social distancing.

Still a pretty dumb idea.

Literally everything the forty‐fifth president of the United States does is weird news, but I’m glad this isn’t a mirror of the TWIMP thread.

e: I shouldn’t have brought it up. I just hate these disarming stories about very bad people engaged in humorous and sometime endearing antics.

It wasn't meant to be endearing, it's absolutely something a complete rear end in a top hat whole do but it veers off so hard into cartoonishly evil that the absurdity of it made the situation extremely funny, at least to me.

To hear Ice tell it, yes. Suge's never confirmed, but there doesn't seem much reason for Ice to lie given that it's not exactly a flattering story (in its telling he insinuated that he soiled himself while being dangled).

He was hoping to get killed by Suge so he'd finally have something in common with Tupac.

It took years and Eminem for white rappers to recover from Vanilla Ice, but now in the age of trap they're allowed to be almost just as numerous and at least as bad as the black ones. We've come so far
