Eh, you get fired for shit like when you're in a very public role. It's the type of thing that makes it impossible to do interviews. What if Zoe Saldana, mother of three, was getting interviewed during Guardians of the Galaxy press tour and someone is like, hey let me read you some tweets of the director of this film for a children's entertainment company wrote joking about raping kids. There's no way to contain that shit.

This would make sense if it wasn't 7 year old posts. All this time these posts were there when they made the movies and contracted him. It's absurd that it's only a problem now that someone randomly decided that this was worth remembering.

It also makes Disney look like a bunch of idiots.

You're missing my point. It's a problem for Disney because someone did remember them and now Gunn is linked with them and it would have been brought up over and over again. I'm sure someone at Disney knew about them and didn't care because no one else was paying attention, but now that it's very public and thrown in their face they have to respond.

He did the PG Porn series but I don't remember him playing Satan in that, but he did play Linus in the Peanuts episode. :lol Also his debut film as a writer had a woman turn into a monster with a three foot penis and then have a happy ending where she marries her brother and gives birth to a bunch of inbred childen.

iirc he also wrote that dawn of the dead remake, zack snyder's only good movie

Papa John sues Papa John's

John Schnatter, the ousted founder of pizza chain Papa John's, is suing his former company.

In a lawsuit filed in Delaware Chancery Court on Thursday, Schnatter's lawyers say he is seeking to inspect company documents "because of the unexplained and heavy-handed way in which the company has treated him since the publication of a story that falsely accused him of using a racial slur."

Papa John's denied Schnatter's claims in a statement. The company said it was "saddened and disappointed" by the lawsuit, which it called "needless and wasteful."

How would you tell from that tweet compared to his normal state?

He won't get fired because he already "amicably parted" from the cryptocurrency company that hired him as PR CEO.

At the one Libertarian Party debate/event in 2016, McAfee admitted he doesn't know how much money he has or where it's invested. :lol

His coming back from obscurity to share his insanity with the world again after that whole murder charge, double heart attacks, fugitive situation was really the ideal career move.

Wtf at that McAfee tweet

And I don’t know any black kid who painted themself white as kids for Halloween Megyn. We dealt with it and wore costumes of characters we liked. We knew we weren’t the same race but that was secondary to the character for us. It’s almost like black children have to be mature and developed on race than white adults. I wonder why? Must be because of 60’s war on poverty programs, ain’t that right Megyn?

I do think he's said he's put money into nearly every cryptocurrency that comes along and never pulled it out. And never will because that's how THEY get you!

His 2020 platform is supposed to be about replacing the Fed with a cryptocurrency.

heck, they're probably both FSB amirite

i've been installing ubuntu on my laptops since 2006-ish

i don't think i've truly run an anti-virus on my desktop since Windows 98...if you don't count Windows Defender...i have clamwin installed for the occasional times i want to scan some sketchy looking thing i copyright infringed from a website half in russian

to bring this back to McAfee, he's been telling people to uninstall McAfee, as it's garbage, since the late 90s (he sold it in 1994)...Intel didn't finally rename it until 2014 after that whole murder, fugitive, faking heart attacks, etc. episode...he'd been asking them for years to rename it
