Don’t be silly. Parodying a name is not racist. There are pun worthy names in all languages, English included. Most of the names that feature in the Moniker thread are western names. Also, can I just point out he was head of a brutal communist regime and deserves parody? We’re not going heavy on the Chinese people. They didn’t even choose him… because they don’t even get a true democratic vote.

Fixed that for Hu.

He doesn't have a good track record when it comes to withdrawing

Imagine expecting some morals/manners from a site that likes to predict when celebrities are going to die. If you are offended by a joke, then just imagine being a person on the death list. It's a joke. Get over it.

What are Hu talking about?

Weird Al Yankovic is 63.

Brazilian footballing legend Pele celebrates his 82nd birthday today. Canadian American actor Ryan Reynolds turns 46 today.

@Ulitzer95 Native Americans qualify for a free University education in the USA - full scholarships paid by «Indian Money» placed in funds for them. They often get jobs because of the quota system many States still use. If you are in a tribe that chose to allow gambling on their lands and built casinos - then you receive money from it every month! Knew a lady who got 1000s of dollars every month - needless to say she did not have to work. Before the 1960s, sometimes mixed-race people with African heritage would say they had a Cherokee grandparent - that way they would avoid the stigma of being Black. There are also urban myths that Native American men are good in bed - but I digress…..

Tonight’s episode of Dr Who. We know she regenerates. We know who she regenerates to. We know what baddies are turning up. We know which surprise oldies are turning up. What’s the actual fucking point of wasting 90 minutes when we already broadly know what happens?

Well, Dietrich Mateschitz is dead, I think the first pick here outlived by King Charles?

You haven’t been paying attention.

Knock knock, Hu's there?

Jesus wept

Hu is this ?

Hu let the dogs out.

Not so much about short temper more good judgement

Time to stick a fork in this oft-mentioned character on here. Ronald Pellar (wiki), the stage hypnotist and con man who was the final husband of Lana Turner, died on June 1, 2013, at the age of 83. Got a brief mention in "The Paper" (creative name) under one of his many pseudonyms.
