I don’t get it. It doesn’t look that bad to me.

Well these things just by sheer coincidence tend to see spikes in both usage of Grindr and BDSM sex workers.

I’ll bet he jacked up his muscles 7,000%!

You lose money if you guess on Jeopardy, though.

So. White people don’t bone up on recent R&B or Hip Hop. Shocking!
