People were allowed to be themselves, and they did fun, wholesome things for their own sake

Such as paying homeless people to compete in amateur bloodsports on film and causing trauma to friends testicles for clout and whatever the hell "wholesome" shenanigans Tom Green was getting up to at the time.

Neither is Tom Green lol what the fuck is this guy on about

Weren’t there entire talk shows designed to make the black community seem like a bunch of single moms who don’t know who the baby daddy is?

Wasn’t there an “expose your tits, possibly underage girls” video series?

Hasn’t most news been “America good foreign bad” since like, well always I guess?

Point is, there are much better examples to go along with Bumfights than “Stunts and Pranks” and “Man behaves abnormally to confuse people”

What did Tom Green do to OP 🥲

Tom Green was pretty famous for basically torturing and publicly humiliating his parents [NSFW]. My comment wasn't saying "these three things are equivalent", it was saying "these three things are examples of what was extremely popular at the time and none of them are wholesome".

I'm just saying that there's plenty of examples of people doing non-wholesome things which were extremely popular in the same year that this song dropped, I'm not saying that these are all equivalent.
