    Excuse me Europe, but I have to ask: What the fuck?

        Man, I miss having fun on the internet without the fear of millions of people bullying/doxxing me or a corporation using my likeness to spread viral marketing/train their shitty AI.

        I always thought Numa Numa guy looks like he’s having a lot of fun

          It’s weird. I think half of the people who watched it were like you (and me) and the other half were like, “ha ha fat guy.”

          But then I think most of the ridicule of that Star Wars kid, who ended up having serious psychological issues stemming from it, was because he was fat too.

        I know the song. I didn’t know anything about the weirdness behind it.

      Northwestern European here: I had no idea at the time and still don’t. I hereby pass this question along to Eastern Europe.
