Why didn't you fire Ricky Velez when he cost you a good chunk of viewership? You're in one of the most competitive entertainment markets imaginable and he's a constant reminder of demonstrably the show's worst moment. The Wikipedia section on your ratings only has one entry and it's about that moment!

Okay is "Powder" an offensive movie or so bad you can't help but laugh your ass off it movie?

For anyone who doesn't know Powder is basically the magic negro stereotype trope applied to a person with Albinism. It is right up there with Hollywood debacles about health situations like that little person movie Twinkletoes that your jaw drops on how was this a good idea and no one in Hollywood realized how bad this was going to look in retrospect.

The Anime was my first introduction, they even Dubbed it into English so it's probably the most popular western Hikimori anime. The music is good, but they had to cut the drug usage from the Light Novel I'm guessing for censorship reasons. The manga has a much darker ending and I don't particularly like it. But whenever I'm depressed shut in mode this theme does come to mind: Hittori Bochi

At what point do you think Coronation stopped being viewed as a scared religious rite and more of a secular ceremony of state? Like obviously if we're going by Shakespeare's depiction, still very formally religious. By George VI it was more of a perfunctory matter of state to get over with as quickly as possible.
