Cardiac Arrest
Rip Ozzy Osbourne.
Ozzy Osbourne dies
Everyone: Oh, that sucks!
Hulk Hogan dies
Everyone: Oh well. Moving on.
It’s almost like if you want to be remembered fondly, you have to not be a piece of shit while you’re alive.
Or as Andrew Carnegie showed, be somewhat less of a piece of shit just before you die.

NO U
- The thoughtful response of right wingers
I think it really matters who you want remembering you fondly…
My literal thought reading the headline - “Good fucking riddence”!
Stupid, but you and the comment below you both spelled it wrong.
Maybe it’s a dance, a dance of ridding shitty people. Good riddance!
Both spelled it wrong in the same manner? What a coincidance!
Too bad you decided to be a shit bag in real life. Not gonna miss this dude one ounce.
I never understood wrestling. Even as a child I couldn’t wrap my head around it. I didn’t get what was so fucking amazing to my friends about watching people put on a stageplay and pretend to hit each other in a ring while wearing tights. It seemed cheesy, boring and unexciting.
My friends ate it up, they were screaming at the TV. I tried to tell them it was fake and they got mad. I was boggled how people couldn’t tell it was fake. There was a Hulk Hogan cartoon in the 80’s, I loved cartoons but I was still boggled what was going on with wrestlers being so popular. The cartoon was boring and substandard, even to a child.
Fast-forward a buncha decades and here we are, a whole world of people shouting at the TV and getting exciting over theatrical bullshit presented in overtly fake ways for people to mindlessly cheer or jeer at their favorite heroes and villains… except now it’s the goddamn federal government.
It was a male-targeted soap opera.
Our species thrives on narratives, if you could fashion a narrative that pulls in enough people you can literally change the world.
I am pulling my face off here wondering where our better stories are, where the master storytellers for progress and equality are hiding.
I used to say all the same until, likely related, the relatively recent growth of John Cena’s film career. We know wrestling is fake. We know Twoicide Squad is fake. That doesn’t stop me from talking about the cool things Peacemaker does, so why should I police other people talking about wrestling events? Plus, after seeing live wrestling, it’s genuinely entertaining to watch as a sports/dance event. Note: I have zero interest in mma/boxing/etc and really don’t watch sports anyway.
People watch plays. People watch concerts. People watch sports. People watch wrestling. It’s just entertainment
It’s just entertainment
Until the people who profit off making fake things seem real use the same tactics to shape policy and undermine democracy. For that matter, some of the very same people who produced the cognitive dissonance of wrestling went on to produce political campaigns, blurring that line in uneducated viewers’ minds further.
I’m not saying you can’t enjoy wrestling or whatever media you like, as long as you understand how entertainment works and that it’s not even a reflection of reality, much less an actual narrative. That’s the difference I’m talking about here, if you know that difference, you need not worry, go have fun.
It’s just entertainment
Ah, the Fox News defense.
I’m not talking about what the individuals go on to say from their personal capacities. I’m talking about a reality TV show where men pretend to beat each other up. Or am I out of the loop and wrestlemania is now part of the campaign trail?
Not saying its the same, or that your wrong. I just couldn’t help but think how that’s how Fox News can do what it does and is (at least was from what I remember) the highest rated channel in the US because its clearly not the news, it’s an entertainment program.
Sorry if my brief comment lead you to believe otherwise.
The world lost a legendary entertainer, someone who played an integral part of my childhood and helped develop my taste in the arts.
God bless you, Ozzy Osbourne.
So What did everyone have for lunch today?
It’s hours til lunchtime here, but I’m meeting an old friend for brunch. I’ve been having to watch my cholesterol recently, but I’ve decided that eating out doesn’t count - I am very much looking forward to it, sausages, bacon, and eggs will be involved.

Finally, good news.
Rest in piss Terry Bollea you racist fuck
Oh no! Anyway…
The only thing I’m thankful for is that his last public appearance is getting Booed to high hell at WWE.
Wow finally some good news!!
Rest in Piss, fascist dick bag.
The iron sheik is getting ready to travel to hell to put that son of a bitch hulk hogan in one more camel clutch.
Make him humble.
Dang everyone hating on him and for good reason, but still a little sad from just how much he was a part of my childhood
You can be sad about the character. Remember Hulk died along time ago when you stopped watching and forgot all about wrestling.
Now you’re seeing what you once knew and sad that it’s officially gone. It’s OK to be sad about that memory and character perishing.
It’s also OK to say good riddance to a piece of shit human that was this fuck.
