You Win, Internet. The Activist Is No Longer a Game Show
The planned game show hosted by Usher, Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Julianne Hough pitting activists against each other to win money for their causes will now be a documentary special. The idea of having to compete to raise awareness rubbed people the wrong way. Only 3 of the 6 competitors would be selected to attend the G20 summit to advance their causes. Some of the criticism centered on having celebrity hosts judge the comparative worth of important issues, others focused on black mirror/hunger games comparisons.
“We got it wrong” said the company at the helm of the show. They will scrap all the previously filmed footage and start over.
The show will be replaced by orphans fighting for dinner.

Did Obama Kill Rock and Roll?
The host of The Daily Wire’s “Backstage” show has gone viral for his theory that Barack Obama is the reason rock and roll is dead. During a discussion about Covid, Jeremy Boreing said he said the death of rock and roll is also a crisis and explained his theory.
“There was rock ‘n roll, then there was Barack Obama, now there’s no rock ‘n roll.” he said. “Rock and roll was about white male teenage angst and then Barack Obama said young white men are not allowed to have angst.” Boreing believes Obama stopped white male from expressing dissatisfaction because they’re so toxic, so rock just stopped.
Okay, B. Name one great rock song during the Bush years.
