Dead Red Herring Podcast - Episode 41

There are times when moral outrage just makes you question everything, or bang your head into a desk, whatever works. Things like that pride rock in the Lion King is a Trump Tower in Africa and that the hyenas are a representation of minorities. Or that if you play as a nazi or terrorist in a game, you as a person become one (and it normalizes it). Stupidity seems endless on the politically correct crowd... We decided to tackle it in out own way, with facetious humor.
