In the Daily Show podcast, Trevor Noah talked about how one of his South African childhood friends was named Hitler. It was still apartheid when he got the name and the legacy of British colonialism was still strong; some people were willing to severely whitewash Adolf because he "stood up" to the Brits.

The Cheshire Cat posted:I guess as a point of comparison you could look at how they talk about Pol Pot. He might not have gone around conquering people like Hitler but he was still horrible and much more local to SE Asia. I don't actually know how he's treated there but that might be a good barometer on their attitudes towards genocide in general. I remember Pol Pot being discussed with more detail in the US, but that may be because the fall of Phnom Penh was during my lifetime (it was the same sort of vaguely-understood news as the Soviets in Afghanistan when I was tiny).

A somewhat specific example within the west would be the treatment of Oliver Cromwell. A lot of people see him as a champion of early democracy, breaking the power of feudal monarchs, so forth. The Irish don't generally take kindly to that view. njsykora posted:Sepp Blatter just resigned as FIFA president. Oliver has got to be kicking himself for blowing the load on a sequel report too early.

I'm sure they'll cover it at the top of next show in the "recap of the week" segment. He'll almost certainly drink a BLL.

I could listen to John crush FIFA every episode.  Astro Nut posted:A somewhat specific example within the west would be the treatment of Oliver Cromwell. A lot of people see him as a champion of early democracy, breaking the power of feudal monarchs, so forth. The Irish don't generally take kindly to that view. Cromwell was also ~400 years ago, not 70ish. In 400 years it would be way less of an issue but gently caress at least give it a full 100 years before you start doing that poo poo.

John really does have too much money if he's buying time on Trinidadian television just because he can. He's getting drunk on that HBO money. EDIT: My god, he's like a majestic avatar of Hermes in those shoes. I Am Fowl fucked around with this message at 06:26 on Jun 8, 2015 |

He's been renewed until 2017. Meanwhile, I'm sure HBO is wondering why they still need Bill Maher, save for VICE being a good show.

Out of curiosity I searched Bill Maher on Youtube and found him attacking the hospital that housed American ebola sufferers and getting fuckowned by David Miliband over sharia law. No-one should get fuckowned by David Miliband.
