The regular citizens are not the ones we're concerned about, Bill. And we know that you know that, because you ranted about this exact thing in 2011.

Bill, ya done fucked up. You should have refused any form of payment, or gifts. Then you wouldn’t look like such a hypocrite, and your message of “they’re just like us” wouldn’t sound so irritatingly self-serving.

Granted, most of the crowd you performed for are indeed just like us. The people who paid you are not. That’s a vitally important difference, and losing sight of that distinction is the first step towards becoming what you hate.

Everyone has a price, up to a point I suppose, can't say I'm not disappointed, but certainly not surprised

Ahhhh just wait till you hear them constantly talk about how progressive Saudi Arabia is, it's what WWE constantly tells you when they do their shitty Saudi shows.

as much as I hate CM Punk, I'll quote his famous tweet he went back on

"Go suck blood money covered dick in Saudi Arabia you fucking dork."

Whoever takes part in this travesty is dead to me as a comedian and media personality. Adios, Burr, I'll get my witty social commentary elsewhere.

I'm so lost . . how does someone that level-headed all of sudden support the Arabian monarchy? I mean, Even someone as beloved as Jackie Chan traded his soul for a corrupt government, that being the CCP, but man, how did he lose the plot?

But to be fair, I have said in the past, if someone offered me life changing money but I had to trade my dignity to do so, I probably would, because I'm not famous, so at least I could be hideous in private, whereas these comedians and celebrities can be called out and have their careers ruined if they make the wrong choices.
