Definitely not Old English. Maybe they mean Original Pronunciation? That would make some sense at least, though would still be a pretty big swing for a movie.

Somehow remindes me of this guy, who is (I think) a son of Emperor Palpatine from a now-disavowed continuity, and has lightsaber implants in his knees and elbows.

We've already got a huge statue of George Washington as Zeus in the American History Museum. It was made like 40 years after he died, and I always wondered what he would have thought of it. I feel like it'd be pretty embarrassing.

So apparently the right-wing film company has decided that Hershey's was founded by vampires?

As usual, a shocking number of people suddenly discover a universal principle that forces them to condone repugnant behavior as soon as (and for precisely as long as) a white dude faces a consequence for his actions

Yes, I support academic freedom for racism, eugenics, Maoism, a belief in violence for its own sake, Murder Jason Lee Byas Thought, support for ISIS, support for total human extinction, and whatever else you have in mind.

"Academic freedom but just for good people" is not a practicable principle.

It's really a natural evolution of the format

The Simpsons: Homer and Marge are in bed. Homer looks like he's daydreaming while Marge says "You know, Fox News turned into a hard-core sex channel so gradually
I didn't even notice"

Oh wow, the original Aiptek pencam was my first digital camera (and webcam). I loved that thing!
