I didn't know you were allowed to write about Lou Pearlman without using the word "Svengali" at least once. Kudos.

Eh, there's not PC and then there's clumsy stereotypes. And BTW, no it doesn't.

They made it, what, 10 seconds into the scene in Qatar without making a terrorism joke? Welcome to Donald Trump's America, I guess. Quite a disappointing episode in that regard.
