let's ahve some polls next bored. you know. for the airheads. -- nm - amanda Jun 3, 10:28 1
- but I'm bored *now*! -- nm - Beryllium Jun 3, 10:30
Aww, Cena brought that kid he pointed out in his Raw promo into the ring after the show went off the air. -- (link) - Tim Jun 3, 10:22 15
- That's terrible! He must outweigh that kid by 200 lbs! No wonder he didn't want anyone to s-- oh. "Nevermind." -- nm - Max Jun 3, 10:32
- I was reading last week about the amount of charity work (namely Make a Wish wishes) he's done - it's an impressive amount -- nm - prayformojo Jun 3, 10:24 13
  - granted the most wishes in the history of the charity and it's not close. - Tim Jun 3, 10:29 11
    - Those poor kids should aim higher with their wishes. -- nm - David Jun 3, 10:33 2
      - "You wanna meet Jim Carrey?" "Nah I want some big titties in my face! Come on, it's my last wish!" -- (edited) - Shaun Jun 3, 10:34 1
        
        uh, Miss Larence, yeah uh we have a uh request, from this kid, a make a wish thing you know and uh.... -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 3, 10:44
    - do you mean - prayformojo Jun 3, 10:31 7
      - Yup, they like the person but hate the wrestler/character. -- nm - Tim Jun 3, 10:34
      - He's a terrible wrestler with the personality of styrofoam. -- nm - David Jun 3, 10:33 5
        
        Even before the ending, I loved loved loved the Cena/Kevin Owens match from Sunday. -- nm - Tim Jun 3, 10:35
        
        I think he can wrestle when he needs to, but his character is a joke and they don't make him wrestle meaningfully often enough to matter. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 3, 10:34 1
        
        On a *good* day, he's got 8 moves. - David Jun 3, 10:37
        
        huh -- nm - prayformojo Jun 3, 10:34 1
        
        After a decade of it, they're finally starting to acknowledge it on camera. - David Jun 3, 10:36

      - You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch. -- nm - Max Jun 3, 10:28
  - [spittake] -yes! It's one of the best. -- nm - mud Jun 3, 10:25 1
    - Oh, I don't doubt it. I've only heard glowing praise. It just had unfortunate timing to be released when I couldn't care less about its existence. - Beryllium Jun 3, 10:27
- Will there be hairspray? -- nm - Max Jun 3, 10:20

Do we think the FIFA indictments and resigning were in any way influenced by John Oliver's crusade against them? -- nm - Inigo Jun 3, 10:15 10
- Not necessairly. But It makes me completely agree with the recent assertion that "Oliver is the most relevant journalist in the world at this time" -- nm - MDH Jun 3, 10:18
- No. I think the sponsors realized they were in bed with teh wrong people and quietly made calls. - Will Hunting Jun 3, 10:17 2
  - Not even a smidge. -- nm - David Jun 3, 10:19 1
    - Maybe Oliver got people to call the sponsors, but John Oliver's just a louder voice among the millions who detest Blatter. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 3, 10:22
- I think that letter w/the right-hand man authorizing the 10MM dollar bribe had a lot to do with it. And the pressure from big advertisers - Diva Jun 3, 10:17
- No, but, coincidentally (most of the time) or not, quite a few things that he has featured in his main story have been legislated on/addressed soon - prayformojo Jun 3, 10:16 2
  - I agree with this. I think he has his finger on the pulse of oncoming change while sometimes (as in Net Neutrality) enacting change himself. -- nm - Inigo Jun 3, 10:26
  - Maybe that's group think at work, with the pot boiling over with everyone at the same time and he's just the one with the mic. -- nm - Max Jun 3, 10:18
- not even 1% -- nm - Beaker Jun 3, 10:15

  - they really did ruin the entire movie -- nm - prayformojo Jun 3, 09:58 2
    - The trick to a good dinosaur film is that you're supposed to care if the main characters get eaten or not. - Loyola Jun 3, 10:00 1
