Is the schadenfreude the fact that you've fallen for a really obvious April Fools photoshop?

Oh no doubt. There's no way he's actually 285. That's just what he's listed at.

It's not quite as bad as it seems at first, since it's being done as a show of support for the team's own minority members that got attacked by racists. I don't think blackface has the exact same connotations in Germany as it does in the United States, since they didn't have minstrel shows or The Birth of a Nation.

I don't think we have any kind of blackface except for the guy dressed up as Caspar in a Sternsinger group (and he's a king and not some kind of servant, like Zwarte Piet in the Netherlands).

Yea when Viva la Bam was airing it was pretty obvious the family would inevitably run into trouble. Bam's money had completely upgraded their lifestyle, and his show was dependent on the family being involved in his antics. Nobody in his immediate family was really in a position to tell him anything he needed to hear.

I also forgot about the whole Ryan Dunn thing, that may have taken a toll on him. I'm more interested to watch this thing than I thought I would be...

The Ryan Dunn thing might just be the one thing that drove his problems to the point where they had to get help. In the clip he notes that he has been drinking pretty regularly for about ten years. Dunn was killed in 2011. Bam was chugging when Jackass was doing straight to the movies.

I'm finding the whole 'rehab' thing problematic. Margera is obviously in some serious trouble, and playacting in a mansion is a band aid. He needs a nice good stay at a real rehab clinic out of the view of the public to simply sort his poo poo out. And his loving mom needs to pry her face away from a camera and do what's right for her kid, even if he's a bloated and bearded mess. I take some schaden in that Bam has gone from pampered stunt boy to Jocquin Phoenix, but at this point he needs to put down the bottle, accept the MTV days are over, and move on with his life.

I'm pretty sure the girl in the second GIF is Kana, who is now Asuka, who is already in the WWE. She's batshit good.

That girls name is Kairi Hojo whose nickname is the Pirate Princess. Still a ridiculously impressive elbow drop if only because she goes sideways in the air and her legs end up way higher than her body which is pretty cool to see.

When you watch the episode 2 or whatever on youtube the therapy itself is also pretty questionable. He should get a real group and therapist instead of a freak show made to make money on drama.

68.1% of the league overall is Canadian. Hell if I'm bothering on a per roster basis but someone out there could do the math.

Edit:
Actually looks like 48%.
That 68 is cumulative among the life of the league.

8 of the 30 NFL teams are coached by Americans, the rest by Canadians. Only 1 of them (out of 5) made it past the first round of the playoffs in 2015.

Let's not forget that these guys probably have some very nasty CTE symptoms in their brain. So it's probably super hosed up from years of getting knocked. I just want Johnny Knoxville to live forever.

They added an additional "Send" button, called "Send Mic Drop" that included a gif of a Minion character, and blocked all reply e-mails to your e-mail. Unfortunately, they put the "Send Mic Drop" button right next to the "Send" button, and a lot of people pressed it inadvertently on business e-mails.
