    I’m glad we are all in agreement that Bill no longer has a moral leg to stand on after taking that Saudi blood money last year.

    Maybe take him to the UAE with you next time the Emirates call you up Bill? Sounds like something they’ve arranged before.

      Yeah, I feel he had the chance to come clean, admit his own hypocrisy and that people are sometimes tempted and give in even if it is against their personal ethics, but no he doubled down as if nothing was wrong. He made his bed. Really liked him as a comedian, but I was just as wrong to have thought a comedian should have the ethical resolve not to be tempted by money.

      I feel there is nothing wrong with selling water, fuck can sell a pet rock even, or heard the other day a water sommelier why their bottled water tastes better and hydrated more than any other brand, fool and their money. but companies like nestle, and here is my conspiracy hat on, needs corrupt governments that does not upgrade nor maintain there water infrastructure, so that the poorest who cannot afford personal water purifiers are dependent on their water as if it is Mad Max Fury Road.

    Yeah but what if Nestlé pays you a bunch of money like the Saudi royal family did? Then would they be “just like us,” too, you fucking sellout?
