I will admit that, being an old fart, I have never heard of PewDiePie before. Apparently, he’s a YouTube phenom, and has triggered the screeching of the Humor Police.
Maker Studios dropped Kjellberg on Monday after a Wall Street Journal investigation highlighted the anti-Semitic sign, as well as eight other videos that included anti-Jewish jokes or Nazi images.
Now, one does not have to be a dreaded “alt-righter” (whatever the fuck that actually means) to see the humor in what he’s doing. I think it takes a special sort of stupid to conclude that because he used Nazis and Nazi symbology as a means of parody (“what people will do for five bucks!”) that this is somehow anti-Jewish or threatens people in any way. But the Humor Police are always on the job, stamping out anything that looks even the tiniest bit transgressive.
So in that vein, I will confess that this video cracked me up. For a donation, this school will teach any English phrase you like. Since I found this funny, clearly I’m advocating that little kids use intoxicants. Right?
I am just guessing but something something white privilege?
I’m sort of an off-olive, so I don’t know if that counts.
Yeah, what’s the rule on that? Does my dago/mick blood automatically make me non-white?
It makes you Alcoholic At Birth.
Ah, now I get it. It’s not a character flaw – I was made this way!
Whew!
So, on the topic of “people who somehow get millions of people to watch every time they film themselves”, this one is quirky and pretty funny (and it meets the prerequisite – I think it had 5 million views by day 3 or something). Summary: very non-PC internet entertainer criticized by self-styled SJW internet character, wacky hijinks ensue.
Worth watching “for the lulz” (as my kids might say): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8vaJaFCFYA
Full disclosure: before I met Mr. Riven, I used to watch Cry’s and Pewdie’s “Let’s Play”s on the grounds that I can’t play spooky games, myself.
Haven’t watched them in years, though!
I still don’t get the popularity of unwrapping videos (or unboxing or whateverthefuck they’re called).

It can be nice to see some really cool looking limited edition game console that you know you’re not going to buy yourself.
These SJWs need to watch To Be or Not to Be, or Blazing Saddles.
Dey’s darkeh den vee are!
Looks like Snoop Dogg made a donation.
