I think this specific comic is from the 70s. They’re made by Christian conservative artist Jack Chick, who made these tracts for around 50 years. Most of them are the usual short stories spreading Christian values, but many of them are straight up hate speech against Arabs, Catholics and gay people. Jack played a big role in spreading the religious right and satanic panic, making popular comics about DnD, Harry Potter and Family Guy. Chicks site claims to be the highest selling comic in history, but I guarantee they’re fudging the numbers since most of these are given out for free.

Just yuk.

Vic and Bob, famous UK comedians dressed up as old timey Popstars in Smash Hits Magazine to promote their Cover of the Monkees Classic "Im A Believer".

To better convey the Spirit of Jimi Hendrix, Vic chose to augment his distinctive clothing and flashy guitar theatrics by darkening his skin, a reductive and racially insensiitive way of portraying people of colour dating back to times of overt segregation in the US and discriminarion in the UK.

Alfredo Bowman AKA Dr Sebi was one of the most successful medical fraudsters. He became famous for treating celebrities like Steven Seagal and Left Eye Lopez with holistic and herbal remedies now proven to be dangerous and ineffective. He claimed he had cures for cancer, AIDS and Diabetes. Thanks to him, potentially hundreds of people have rejected life saving chemotherapy, insulin and vaccines. Dr Sebi died in 2016 but his legacy lives on, and there are a shocking number of celebrities, doctors and social media account promoting his bullshit. Dr Sebi is connected to the black community in ways I’m unqualified to dive into, but the summarization is that after decades of targeted medicine and discrimination in the medical field, marginalized groups had a distrust of doctors and Dr Sebi preyed on this.

Goodwill bins. Too dirty to take home!

Like seriously. What was this about?

What's even worse is that people haven't even stopped doing it completely. There were countdowns for Millie Bobby Brown and Chloe Kim.

Going off of the post about the “Most Beautiful Girl in the World,” I was reminded of this fiasco that I read about originally in the 2010s (back when I was able to read and understand stuff). A 9 year old girl named Lin Miaoke (right image) lip sung to a traditional patriotic Chinese song during the opening of the games but the actual singer was Yang Peyi (left image) a girl with a beautiful voice.

Yang was put backstage to sing the song as Lin lip sung the lyrics due to Yang not being perceived as “cute” by the official due to her round cheeks and belly.

As far as I know, most folks didn’t realize that Lin wasn’t the actual singer and due to her looking cute and stuff she was rocketed to celeb status while Yang left the spotlight and went on to go to college in the US.

Pretty gross to me that they’d body shame a literal child and that the same child was basically used for her voice and then tossed away while the faker went on to become famous also due to her looks. Pretty sick and it’s no wonder that suicide, bullying, and self image issues (as well as eating disorders) are so bad in Asia. As an Asian myself, I wish they’d all do better. Learn and educate themselves more too, for the sake of the children.

The participating celebrities would not come back online until $1 million had been raised. The digital "death" was giving up their social media accounts.

I was just listening to Matt Bernstein's podcast about this Zionist POS and this passage of his 1993 book "SeinLanguage" was brought up. This book was a No. 1 bestseller so a lot of people had to know about him writing these disturbing comments about the "little rear ends" of the girls - who were often just 15 years old when competing. How is this not spoken about more???
