That’s some serious tonnage!
Is she 100% Japanese?
Seppuku time, he has brought shame on the Olympics!
The only reason Watanabe Naomi got famous was because she was fat and had a decent Beyonce impersonation.
But genocide by ChiComs is fine for the 2022 Olympics.
Bill Burr wishes he would have said it first.
Did you see the clip with Bill Burr from the Grammys, hillarious.
