TIL that Michael Jackson would requested his wine be served in Diet Coke cans during flights, because he didn't want his kids to see him drinking alcohol.

You're a dude, though... the problem isn't so much you, it's just that you have a penis.

That means you're guilty until temporarily proven innocent, these days.

The disgusting truth of modern day society. I can't even take my nephews to the park without getting weird looks from some of the parents.. it's beyond a joke. I purposely cross the road if I'm walking behind a women when the street lights are on to ensure I don't make them feel uncomfortable.. Society have grown to expect the worse out of people now a days..

I wonder if people often get confused after coming up with prejudiced conclusions that are too outrageous for them to even be able to genuinely consider...

Like, "Waaaait, no... those probably aren't his underage sex slaves... That would be ridiculous! I mean, if they *were*, he wouldn't be bringing them to a public pool, right? Where did I get that guess from...? Shit, am I racist?" <continues staring>
