  1. Who could have possibly foreseen this?
  2. If they unbundled, I highly doubt the overall price would go up for me. What's the absolute maximum ESPN could expect to get enough people to pay per month for all their channels...$25? I'd just need that and FS1 and maybe CNN. I'd guess I could get those for under $75. Anyway, how do you figure QVC is subsidizing my cable? I'm wondering whether you meant home shopping viewers, as just a random example, or is there something I don't know about home shopping channels (very likely)?
  3. This passing would really piss me off.
  4. True. Perhaps this was just the most efficient interview ever.
  5. What we really need is a-la-carte cable TV. It sickens me that I'm helping subsidize fucks like Fox News every month by paying my youtube TV bill.
  6. Da fuck? 15-20 minutes for a head coaching job at Texas? I'm thinking this was more like a phone screen you go through with a recruiter before you interview with the manager.
  7. Merely acknowledging this country's serious problems doesn't mean one should leave. There's some kind of fallacy at work in your logic here.
  8. I wonder what percentage of seedy massage parlor workers are Asian? I suspect it's pretty high. I'm not saying I don't believe race was a motive. I'm just saying that if for some reason you wanted to kill people in that occupation, your victims are probably going to be mostly Asian women. It also seems to me that people who commit hate crime murders usually aren't shy about admitting that motive.
  9. I didn't argue that nobody should be offended by it, and I've already said that's what the humor came from and the only reason I ever referenced it. I was only arguing about your contention that anyone who references it is trying to bully and make Asians feel inferior. I reject that, but I accept that it's offensive and won't be saying it again.
  10. I'm not doubling down. I'm not going to reference the prank again. What I came back and started debating was @Dahobbsassertion that anyone making such a joke necessarily believes Asians are inferior and trying to bully them. That's horseshit in my opinion.
  11. I'm not sure why whether it's funny or not matters in this discussion. I'm not defending its value as comedy. But its use largely stems from a local news prank years ago, referenced upthread. As an aside, a hookup of mine once jokingly introduced herself as Ivanna Suckuoff when I came over to get a beej. In retrospect I guess this wasn't just a dumb joke, what she was really saying is that Russians are an inferior people.
  12. Fair enough. Agree to disagree, though.
  13. I'm not sure why you assume the intent is to belittle, though. I know I sure as hell wouldn't feel remotely belittled if I heard a Chinese person make such a comment. I think you're assuming the intent is to mock the way Asian names sound. But that's not necessarily the case.
  14. How the hell does it matter why they would be doing it? People make name puns. Would it be racist of the Chinese in my hypothetical?
  15. I still don't get why people spell it like chyna in regard to dotard. Sounds like China to me. How is the Y supposed to sound different than an I, anyway?
  16. The claim that the use of "ho lee fuk" in place of "holy fuck" - when not directed at an asian person - is done to make anyone feel superior makes no sense at all. Are you telling me that if you were in, say, China and you heard a Chinese national randomly make a dumb Mike Hunt or Jack Mehoff joke, you'd think they were doing so to demean and bully westerners - even if it wasn't directed at a westerner? That's insane in my book.
  17. Only thing worse is loud mouthed women's.
  18. "Biden's CGI Disaster!" Love the tabloid style caption.
  19. It's been exploited to curtail change, but it actually was created by mistake. It's insanity that they won't just fix that mistake.
  20. I meant to write "primary motivating factor" tbh. I definitely wouldn't rule out this guy being racist. But my hunch is that the same result occurs if the spa girls were of different races.
  21. The clip from LWT where Swanson's criticizing Pat Buchanan back in the day for doing his exact same schtick - to a fucking T - would seem to support this.
  22. The humor in my opinion came 100% from the idiot news anchors reading those names on the air. I never thought the puns were making fun of asians per se, although I can see why you might take it that way.
  23. Has Tucker ever responded to Oliver? Oliver's nuked him so many times now. What I wouldn't give to see a debate with those two. Such an event on PPV would rake a fuckload of cash. I wonder how much Tucker would need to be guaranteed for him to do it.
  24. I bring this up to my parents a lot. They have no response.
