Auschwitz Memorial calls WWE 'shameless' for using its image in a match promo

The wrestling entertainment giant WWE, known for its manufactured storylines, is facing real controversy after fans noticed it used an image of the Auschwitz concentration camp to promote a match on Saturday.

"We had no knowledge of what was depicted," the WWE said in statement to NBC News on Friday. "As soon as we learned, it was removed immediately. We apologize for this error."

they admitted they made a mistake and apologized

the museum should now say preciate it and that should be that

I would have noticed that had I not been told prior. They must be really thick if they honestly didn't know what it was.

Am I missing something? How can he be claiming that the fact he was her guardian gave him the right to sleep with her? Surely, if anything, morally if not legally, it gave him the exact opposite? If someone is entrusted into your care you don't have the right to abuse that trust and then say "oh well I was their guardian". Am I wrong here?

i think it just gave him permission to take her on tour with the band and pull her out of school

i don't blame her for trying to pad her nest egg but gtfoh w/ trying to tell me going on tour w/ with aerosmith and being the girlfriend of one of the biggest rockstars in the world wasn't the best time of her life

tbf you could probably say the same thing for the kids that got to party at Neverland Ranch lol

didn't chappelle do a skit where the kid is bragging about being molested by michael jackson

i  think you're talking about this sketch

That's the only one i remember about the mj trial. He doesn't make the specific joke you're referencing but it's still good stuff. 

He also made a joke on the stand up special "Sticks and Stones" about mj being innocent based on the fact that there are no accusations that he molested Macaulay Culkin, despite how much time he spent with him. "He's the first one you would molest!"

Ironically what prompted me to make that joke was i was recently listening to a comedy based radio show talking about the Leaving Neverland special and his victims talk about it as if they didn't realize it was abuse at the time,  and one of them even noted how jealous they were when MJ seemingly "replaced" him with Macaulay..

@Jwb no I know, but if the vast majority agree there is a problem then it is a good place to start. I expected way more to be in denial and deny there is a problem.

I don't know if you've said before but in a nutshell are you pro gun or anti gun?

If you could peacefully ban guns in the USA tomorrow and be in the same position the UK is, would you do it?

forgot to answer this

In a nutshell, I'm anti gun. In theory, if we could pull off what England has with gun control, obviously that would be preferable to the situation we have here.  But for a variety of reasons i don't think it's feasible.  The politics of it and how people would react is only part of the story.  Like i indicated earlier,  i don't believe for a second that England would be nearly so successful with its gun control if you had 3000 or so miles of border to patrol. It's a lot easier when people are pretty much forced to go through customs just to get in your country.

Lmao @ all we get is awkward Thanksgivings for the rest of our lives. I forgot about that line.

But yeah that's Sticks and Stones.  I thought you were referencing  chappelle show.

What's the deal with this abortion drug thing, guys? Anyone know about that? They ban it, then the judge says no I'll wait to see if Biden wants to override my decision? Anyone got information on what the hell this is all about?

confusing af tbh so anyone that wants to correct me please do

the drug, Mifepristone, was approved by the fda a long time ago but now state courts are challenging the legality of it trying to get it to our primarily catholic supreme court who are likely to take a break from their usual routine of playing doctor with children to play doctor with doctors

it's totally nutty for the supreme court to overrule the fda since they have no medical expertise at all and there's absolutely no precedent for it either

it's another state against state and political overreach let's just get the second civil war started republican anti-freedom campaign

i will not vote for any democrat who will not stack the court even if they're running against trump or desantis

obama and biden are both so cowardly their administrations were mostly wasted

when i think about obama sitting around doing nothing while the turtle denied him his constitutional right to pick a justice it makes me want to punch him in the face

honestly it's hard to imagine two more wet blanket cowardly do nothings than obama and biden - it's infuriating

the democrats would rather bring lube to their own rape than a gun to defend themselves

A conservative Texas judge on Friday put a dent in the blue wall of abortion rights protections, issuing an order that could suspend approval of a drug used in medication abortions by women across the country – including in states with robust protections in place.

Here's the judge. He's Catholic.
