I only recently learned that Borat unintentionally did the human race a favor by causing Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock's divorce.

idiomaddict@lemmy.world · 58 pts · 1y (6 replies)

You made me look it up and holy fuck is this a dick move:

The couple, who married just four months ago, reportedly got into an explosive argument at Universal studio chief Ron Meyer's house two weeks ago. Meyer screened Borat for Rock, Anderson, and several others, and Rock considered Anderson's performance, of which he apparently knew nothing whatsoever, so embarrassing and infuriating that he reputedly called her a "slut" and a "whore." Since then, relations between the two have gone from bad to worse, and Anderson announced that the split was for real on her website Monday (Nov. 27).

I figured kid rock just had a dumb sense of humor and thought it was funny to repeatedly call her “my wife,” but apparently he preferred slut shaming her. I’m also confused about how you marry Pamela Anderson without being cool with her doing sexy things on camera.

That said, it’s nearly twenty years ago and was initially reported by the New York Post, so take it with a grain of salt.

Well, yeah, she's supposed to be an absolute smokeshow so people know he's won (and are jealous of him) for marrying her. But she shouldn't "show" anything because that's for him only.

Be a sex icon, but chastely.

It worked out better for her. Seems that she's grown beyond a sex symbol and enjoying her life

idiomaddict@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y

I don’t think being a sex symbol is something you need to grow out of, but you absolutely need to grow out of relationships where you get slut shamed and I’m glad she did.

At my job, I quite often see "Monday, Wednesday, Friday" abbreviated to MWF.

I read it in the voice once. It has proven to be the gift that never stopped giving.

Unfortunately my wife does not appreciate her wife doing the voice. Doesn't stop me tho

Single greatest reason to get married.

Even worse they say "the wife." I've met a few of those. Could not believe they actually talk that way.

Up there with people who use "female" far too much. Especially "females."

ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 1y (1 reply)

The only way you can use "female" in that way is ironically and rhyming with "tamale"

Unintentional Borat also happens a lot when people at work start talking about “learnings”

I don’t want to sound like Borat ever, even by accident, because I adore my wife

Can you give me some examples, because from the wikipedia page it looks like he donated for lots of charities and is/was pro-vaccines, the worst that I found was that he called for the release of all hostages taken by Hamas.

Of all the Israeli politicians, Shimon Peres and Yitzhak Rabin also got closest to an actual peace. Being positive about Peres doesn't make SBC a Zionist, it makes him naive at worst.

Someone explain this bullshit?

OpenPassageways@programming.dev · 31 pts · 1y

Jessica from Dune encourages her son Paul to use "the voice" which is some future space wizardry that allows him to control others.

In this case, the voice that Americans (probably mostly millennials) think of when someone says "my wife" is the voice of Borat, who develops an obsession with Pamela Anderson from a Baywatch poster and refers to her as his wife.

Unless someone watched Borat or recognizes some Dune character (I haven't & don't), this context is shit, so I can't?
