Move over Fyre Festival, the 2022 World Cup in Qatar is here and they're offering fan tents which are comparable to a prison cell made of tarp. This is just the beginning of a long list of issues that have already plagued Qatar in the weeks leading up to soccer's largest tournament.
Regarding the 'fan rooms', they are supposed to be affordable options for tourists coming in to watch the games. Apparently they'll cost guests about $100/night. For which you get a tarp tent, a twin size bed, and a nightstand.
I feel bad for those staying in these tents. It's gonna be hot AF, and if there is a sand storm u can kiss those tents goodbye.#LoBaratoSaleCaro#QatarWorldCup2022pic.twitter.com/wuRpAj7fjN

Airbnb is doing their best to ruin everyone's stay. Guests began booking, and hosts are now price-gouging at astronomical amounts.

As if room and board issues aren't bad enough, a recent video went viral of a Denmark news team being censored and threatened for filming.
We now got an apology from Qatar International Media Office and from Qatar Supreme Commitee.

This is what happened when we were broadcasting live for @tv2nyhederne from a roundabout today in Doha. But will it happen to other media as well? #FIFAWorldCupQatar2022pic.twitter.com/NSJj50kLql
This seems like an awful lot of hassle to go watch a bunch of grown men flop around for 90 minutes, but that's just me. Here's hoping conditions get better and if you are attending the World Cup, it doesn't break the bank.
Coward Kevin Fiege Couldn’t Let Namor’s Impressive Bulge Distract Us on the Big Screen

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was released on November 11th and currently has an 84% rating on Rotten Tomatoes (95% audience score). The sequel features the return of familiar MCU characters but also introduces us to some new faces.
Fans of the comic books might recognize one of the antagonists, Namor (the sub-mariner). Namor is an underwater mutant and leader of an offshoot civilization of the Mayans. But that's not exactly what drew viewers to the character.

It's very clear that the VFX teams did some extra work on making Namor's junk disappear. The photo on the left is from the original trailers, while the edited photo on the right is from the theatrical cut of the film. Needless to say, fans were not pleased with the erasure of Namor's member.
First they erased the buttholes in cats and I said nothing … https://t.co/xsoJQGqSS8

honestly its such an mcu move to not fix this issue with a dance belt or other proper undergarments and instead opt to making people laboriously edit something out https://t.co/GiuwRlv90Z

The internet then began feeling bad for the editors involved in the de-bulging process.

But mainly, audiences just wanted that bulge back.
What is this, the puritan era?

For that they should make his bulge even bigger. https://t.co/2LdngB90qA
Straight men who run shit are so terrified of being reminded some guys are packing more than they are. I thought better of you, Feige (although this might have been more of a Disney decision, who knows) Release the Namor Bulge Cut! https://t.co/M9TfZBAGAj

And to that, we say, "Free the bulge!"
