I find the VS icon very similar to this: Zware jongen[^]
That really pisses me off

I know, there's a song about it: "The Boogie Woogie Beagle Boy from company B"

Interestingly, their boss was (until a slurry of PC-think took over) called "Black Pete".
How was that translated into Dutch? "Zwarte Piet" != a bad guy.

That US TV and movies reflect the reality that 87.6% of people in the world are gay?
Am I the only one who's sick of it?

Whenever I hang out with friends we make sure there's at least one non-straight and non-white person (not necessarily the same person) in our group so our reality can reflect that from TV.
As a result we never hang out anymore and I don't have any friends

No, no - VW. Transformers would be for Ford van cup holders.

The trouble is that I know hundreds of devs, so I'm wondering which 87.59% of them is in the closet.

They are trying like the dickens to desensitize us.
Aside from sports (not soccer btw) My tv is off until the ball is actually in play largely for that reason.
Someone tell me, what is the connection between dog shows and full on ferries?

So dont watch it. Those series are crap anyway.

The only current TV show I watch is Grand Tour.

Which is a bit weak this season IMHO.
At least they are apparently dumping "conversation street" and the tent for Season 4, to concentrate on the bits they do well - going from A to B in silly ways / vehicles / hats.

also toned down a lot now (perhaps from having an American boss from a large international corporation) is offending people nations.

You're obviously wiser than most -- and more likely to become even wiser, rather than dumber.

Don't have a TV is not equivalent to don't watch TV. The question is, does he stream?

Likewise I don't get why anyone needs a tv nowadays.
