Raka_Putra 12/06/17 9:10:51 PM #1:	So today I learned a fact that will shock your minds. The 'O.J.' part of O.J. Simpsons are actually his initials and not his full name. Mind = Blown? Yep, it's true. You heard it here first. It might sound crazy at first, I know. 'But Raka!' you might ask 'What do those letters stand for?' Can it be Oregano John? Or Orlando Jacques? Orange Juice? Nice guess, but it's actually... Are you ready... ~~Orenthal James~~ Source: http://www.famous-trials.com/simpson/1862-home As an aspiring green card holder and US expert, I previously explained thoroughly about the United Statesian political system. Now ask me anything you want to know about the US entertainment industry and celebrity culture! Be prepared to have your mind expanded by my wisdom orbs...of knowledge. --- Fuhlt nicht durch dich Sarastro Todesschmerzen, So bist du meine Tochter nimmermehr-- eeeeeeeeeeeeeeehr. <cite>Raka_Putra posted [p:891725490] in AMA about ...

Raka_Putra 12/06/17 9:14:04 PM #3:	trdl23 posted... Why do Americans give a shit about the royal family? It is because some American presidents have royal lineage (like George W. Bush, who's the great-great-great-great grandchild of Catherine of Aragon), and Americans hold politicians in high esteem. Therefore they respect and love the royal family because of their familial connection to the American political elite. --- Fuhlt nicht durch dich Sarastro Todesschmerzen, So bist du meine Tochter nimmermehr-- eeeeeeeeeeeeeeehr. <cite>Raka_Putra posted [p:891725642] in AMA about ...

Raka_Putra 12/06/17 9:20:02 PM #6:	LOLIAmAnAlt posted... Why is Hollywood corrupt? Well, like everything else, because of capitalism and patriarchy. Rich white (often Jewish) men have capital and they use that to fund productions and projects where the workers only get a fraction of what they made. Then those highers ups maintain power imbalance by setting up arbitrary actors and entertainers as designated celebrities; these are people who made a blood oath to keep their patrons/benefactors in power by framing them as great people and siphoning their earnings to the funders. --- Fuhlt nicht durch dich Sarastro Todesschmerzen, So bist du meine Tochter nimmermehr-- eeeeeeeeeeeeeeehr. <cite>Raka_Putra posted [p:891725965] in AMA about ...

redrocket_pub 12/06/17 9:50:44 PM #13:	Why are we so weird when it comes to sports? Soccer is nothing here, despite being the undisputed king internationally. Two of our major sports, baseball and football, are very different and strange spinoffs of older games, and haven't made much splash internationally. Baseball has some prescence outside the US, in parts of Latin America and Japan, but is still mostly a US thing. American football is just nothing outside the US (lol CFL). Meanwhile, another of our major sports, basketball, is completely our own invention, and is the only one that made it big internationally. So why are we so unique when it comes to our tastes in sports? --- Blasting off <cite>redrocket_pub posted [p:891727535] in AMA about ...

Because nip slips happen to prude celebrities who don't usually bare themselves and have coitus for pay. So there's a sense of accomplishment and perversity in seeing them nipples. redrocket_pub posted... Why are we so weird when it comes to sports?

Meanwhile, another of our major sports, basketball, is completely our own invention, and is the only one that made it big internationally. So why are we so unique when it comes to our tastes in sports? Good question. It goes way back to 1776, when the US proclaimed its independence. The UK along with its cronies put many, multicultural embargoes in an effort to coerce US into going back to the UK. This includes restriction on attending international sports competitions. So the US was banned from the World Cup and other sporting events in the 18th century and early 19th century. The unsatisfied youth populace went like 'We'll invent our own sports! With blackjack and hookers!'. The earliest forms of Baseball, Basketball, and Football do include a round of blackjack to determine the playing order, and hookers to give relief to the players inbetween rounds. Overtime, the blackjack was cut for being untimely and the hookers become the modern tradition of cheerleaders (which, as you might notice, are also mostly big in the US). --- Fuhlt nicht durch dich Sarastro Todesschmerzen, So bist du meine Tochter nimmermehr-- eeeeeeeeeeeeeeehr. <cite>Raka_Putra posted [p:891728544] in AMA about ...

Raka_Putra 12/07/17 9:27:23 PM #19:	redrocket_pub posted... A fantastic analysis overall, but you missed a minor point. There are no cheerleaders in baseball. Why is this? It's because so many hookers died tragically from stray balls. The pom-poms were originally gloves given to hookers to help them catch balls, but it was ineffective because they couldn't handle the balls coming fast at their face. So hookers had been taken out from baseball soon after the invention of the sports. foolm0r0n posted... Why are the most popular TV shows about crime lords? Because Americans have their violent and criminal urges unhealthily repressed by the government, what with the cops and privatized prison system. So they look into fiction for their wish fulfillment. This is also why the government enacted the Purge. Eerieka posted... Raka, explain this to me: how and why are the Kardashians popular? Like... I'm not even testing your knowledge. I don't know either. As previously explained, celebs are there to keep people complacent and entertained despite the gross injustice the political elite dole out on a daily basis. As for why them in particular, the Powers That Be are experimenting with creating celebrities that are famous despite their lack of talent and charisma. It's a roaring success and they can save time and money now that they can use any slightly attractive bimbos to entertain the masses. Tom Bombadil posted... Followup "I don't know either" question: who all ARE the kardashians? Kylie (previously Bruce) Jenner married Kourtney Kardashian. They have three children: Kim, Khloe, and Kendall Jenner (from Kylie's previous marriage). Kim is married to Harold Goldstein-Jenner and has one daughter, Klara. Khloe is in a long-term relationship with some D-list actor Bryan. Kendall was recently divorced. --- Fuhlt nicht durch dich Sarastro Todesschmerzen, So bist du meine Tochter nimmermehr-- eeeeeeeeeeeeeeehr. <cite>Raka_Putra posted [p:891788422] in AMA about ...
