Between this and David Cameron, I would say world leaders need to stop putting their dicks in swine.
Although many people are saying it, I do not believe our current president sucked off former president Bill Clinton on camera. I have not seen sufficient evidence that our current president gave the former president a blowie in a way that was memorialized in a photo. That's not something I believe.

I wish British TV had something as wildly fun and daft as 911. This season's first 4 eps had them sending two of their characters into space. Last season had a 3 parter about a bee tornado and a kid flying/landing a passenger plane.

What the fuck is this story?
Why is the director not leading & looking after his actors?
Why is he allowing crew to shout (conflicting?) directions at one of his leads?
Why is an A-lister present during this and allowing it to happen in the first place?

It's interesting that the filmmakers backing or championing AI (Miller, Blum, Cameron) are those having trouble with ballooning budgets. Or in Blum's case needing to compete with the big spectacle movies but at a fraction of the cost. Creativity and innovation used to be the workaround.

Last week’s unveiling of Hollywood’s first AI “actress”, Tilly Norwood, generated howls of protest from actors’ unions across the UK and US, where the industry is still reeling from last year’s 118-day strike over, among other issues, the threat of AI.
