I'm guessing this is a joke, but uh, no, he's referring to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osama_bin_Laden

He wasn't. Dozens of kids and teens were using the very same computer.

Shoulda asked Guillermo del Toro about his thoughts on Dragonball when I had the chance. What's odd is his full confession towards his love for the Doraemon franchise. I got to discuss with him on that one. Although Guillermo has gone on record that he likes the Doraemon movies more. "Stand By Me" probably had him in tears.

I don't know if this counts as a celebrity thing or not but apparently in France during a major Football match they put this massive Goku thing up. I have no idea what's going on with it but it's worth you checking it out.

I'm not familiar with him myself but there's a video of a NBA Basketball player named Joel Embiid watching Dragon Ball GT on his phone whilst in warm up.

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke
Herms wrote:The fact that the ridiculous power inflation is presented so earnestly makes me just roll my eyes and snicker. Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

Oh that's pretty cool, I'm a fan of his as it is. I'm sure he did one of those 75 questions video with Vogue and he mentioned that he'd love to go to Japan because he likes anime.

Here's a video of two players in the Cleveland Browns doing the Fusion Dance after scoring a touch down.

Not that I know who they are specifically but still funny.

According to the article it was Darren Fells and David Njoku. Which would make the fusion Darvid Fejoku.
