Yeah that one wound up less internet trolling and became more "The internet unintentionally did something really nice for a small town and the 'victim' of their antics was cool about the whole thing." Which, seriously, Pitbull, much like Scumbag Steve, knew to just roll with this poo poo and it'd all be ok. And it was!

I respect Pitbull as a person and celebrity much more now. (As a musician, not so much, but he's still better than I am.)

Just that Benson figured you were obviously supposed to side with the kid who had all the eggs because he Worked the Hardest. Just like you were obviously supposed to hate and fear the adorable orphan child calling Uncle Sam "Daddy."

Well to be fair, the bunny also has a kid in a headlock that he's struggling against and Kids, with their indisputable wisdom and 'tellin it like it is' bravado, are like 'I don't really like this'.

You see because Kids are no nonsense and correct because they aren't taking the piss unless they disagree with you, then they're just kids who don't know any better.

Since we've normalized relations with Cuba and our current immigration policy with Cubans is not being taken under consideration for changes, undoubtedly this will mean a spike in Cuban immigration - what stance are Conservatives going to take when the inevitable happens? Will they be moustached communist infiltrators or will they remain The Good Latinos?

Or a book character whose ethnicity was not super explicitly pointed out but was instead concealed cleverly with descriptions like "dark skin" or a name like "Cho Chang."

The "party school" rep is a tad off. I think my old roommate put it best about SIU: "We work hard and we play hard. Yeah, we drink ourselves blind Friday and Saturday night, but that's because we spent Sunday through Thursday studying."

Admittedly, there are some people who can't handle that and just live at lovely bars until they get put on academic suspension, but you get that at any school.

The same Transphobic bathroom bill as other states. Though, in this case NC legislators called an emergency session at tax payer expense to pass it. They did this specifically to overturn Charlotte's own nondiscrimination ordnance that protected trans people, and prevent other cities from passing similar measures. Remember republicans are all about local control, except when it's something they don't like. There are also measures loving over workers in there as well, just to twist the knife a bit more.

From what I've heard it also explicitly makes it so anti-discrimination laws do NOT protect any LGBT people. Because I guess since Scalia died there's now a race to fill the role of "America's biggest rear end in a top hat."
