—Elon Musk promised free Internet (via his Starlink service) to those affected (afflicted) by the hurricanes, but there’s a $400 startup cost in the mix. Should he be raked over the coals for not giving full disclosure, or are people being negative Nancies?

(Probably a little of both.)

—Deadspin writer Carron Phillips is a passionate fella. So passionate, that if he sees a nine-year-old boy supporting his favorite football team, he goes and writes a hit piece on him.

Raul & Shannon Armenta, and their son Holden, were subject to harassment and death threats, all because their son wanted to dress up for a Kansas City Chiefs game. They’re suing the publication, and though Deadspin tried to have the case tossed, a judge was having none of it.

Hopefully, both Deadspin and Phillips will have to pay their fair share for their actions.

—New York Republican Rep. Mike Lawler wore blackface! He’s a monster!

OK, well… did he wear it as an attack on Black people and or culture, or is he a Michael Jackson super fan, who wanted to dress up as The Gloved One for Halloween?

We’re not arguing whether or not blackface is right, but there should be some context to it. At least, old instances of it. 

I mean, there’s a wold of difference between what Mike did, and Democratic Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam’s insanely racist yearbook.

—I would say that 95% of the time I hear, “We’re protesting this product, because of XYZ,” I roll my eyes.

Today’s crybaby culture is full of overly-sensitive whiners with sand in their va jay jas.

How it made it through development, testing, and marketing, all the way to release?

So funny. 

—Trump Bibles are made in China.

I mean, come on.

How funny is that?

We discuss tariffs, and take a few viewer questions/comments.

—A man in Mexico was elected mayor…

Why would ANYONE want to be a politician in that country?

Love and sympathy to the family of Alejandro Arcos.

—A 55-year-old man cheats on his wife with an 80-year-old woman.

nathan is grossed out, but Jake wants pictures.

Idiots on Parade: we mock the news, so you don’t have to.
