It's honestly more convoluted than it is worth knowing.
TL:DR
Wrestler / media bozo Hulk Hogan said racist shit while doing a sex tape with a Radio DJ's wife.
Sex tape details gets released by gossip magazine (Gawker), Hulk Hogan destroys said magazine with litigation using Thiele money.
Thiele had previously been outed as gay by the same magazine and held a grudge.
I'm uh, not sure where "reasonable blacks" or "hanoi cams" come into it.
I think the camera says "handi-cam" which is what people called camcorders
That makes way more sense lol
Okay but who is that Jesus guy? I'm not seeing any director credits on IMDB. Is that a first name or last name?
Famous LA area minor league bowler
An often forgotten aspect here is that they waited to out him until he was in Saudi Arabia
The speech bubble says they forgive him, he said racist stuff. Its not really deep.
Its handi cam. A brand of camera.
he's rich they aren't going to do anything to him. hell they probably traffic for him
We dont have to speak in future tense as if this is speculation, he was fine. But the deliberation involved in his outing i feel is important in understanding the motivations of both parties.
Thiel was outed as a way to taunt him (Motivated in part by his support of open homophobic politicians), and he was angry because they had used his sexuality to threaten his life.
The timeline where Gawker got Peter Thiel executed by the Saudis would be an improvement
i meant to connote that expecting or worrying that they'd do something to him at the time was unreasonable.
i give zero shits about the anger of traitors for any reason.
I meant more if that character represented anyone specific, the hanoi cams fuckup was purely my goof
and yeah good shout on the SA bit, I was just putting it simply
What about "runnin' wild"? Usually the Kelly character quip is a clever double-entendre but I don't see how that phrase even has a single meaning which is relevant in the context of Hulk Hogan's life.
Lol just in case this is unironic:
"What'cha gonna do when Hulkamania runs wild on you?!" Was his catchphrase for a while.
LOL thanks, I had no idea that was a thing he was known for saying. I just thought his thing was ending every sentence with "brother".
To be fair, it was a looong time ago.
Amazing
