...it's deliberately misleading to get clicks for the rag that produced it, and I think to draw outrage to Jack Black, who has just recently made a big show of his support for Joe Biden.

All of that catapaulted here, ostensibly, from the reply I read, in the name of fandom.

Truly fantastic defense of the title, though. Thanks for the opportunity to rebut them.
