    I couldn’t have taken enough drugs to write this timeline 20 years ago. WTF is happening? Maybe CERN did break the universe with the LHC

    What’s insane is that FOX allowed this commercial to air in the first place. I’m sure someone at FOX will say “We had no idea he would put this on his site”, which we’ll all know is bullshit because they scrutinize the fuck out of every Super Bowl ad before it gets to air. There is a 0% chance that nobody knew about this beforehand.

      Guys, just because he went on Alex Jones to make racist jokes and talk about how much he loves Hitler doesn’t mean he’s a nazi

        There is absolutely no excuse for this u/Remember_the_tooth. This is wildly inappropriate and completely out of date. There is absolutely NO excuse generative AI and MLL can’t remake this for a sequel using actual Kekius and Trumpf for the modern times.

          That’s a really good point. Why rehash Mel Brooks’ old content when we have actual live NeoNazis on our front porch. Kudos to you for your insight. We could probably just livestream a rally.

    Does this mean whatever payment processing center is used for his site is also pro, whatever this is?

      It’s shopify, which requires an account to report. So if anyone has a shopify account, please do the needful. Can probably be considered a threat of violence or terrorist organization, or both.

        I have an account.

        When I tried to report it as terrorist organization, the form gets stuck in a redirect loop. It’s broken.

        Threat of violence worked but I needed to provide my full name, phone number and address which felt pretty shit.

          And yet I bet if you tried to set up a storefront with a certain sibling of Mario, you’d get shut down instantly.
