MLK death rule (pawb.social)

Imagine transcription: An image of Light Yagami, Misa Amane, and L from Death Note on a fiery background. The caption reads: "Did you know, in the anime 'Death Note' for copyright reasons, the milk has to be spelt 'MLK' on the cartons? Google 'MLK Death Note' to find out more!". End transcription.

They also sent him recordings of the supposed orgies, and were trying to blackmail him. So if he really was having orgies, it would have been pretty bad for his personal life and reputation. The tape recordings are sealed until 2027.

Huh, that's interesting. Though, how do you pick MLK specifically out of a recording of an orgy, let alone definitively enough for it to be damning to his reputation?

[-] GeneralVincent@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

True. And I feel like it would also be hard to tell if it's actually an orgy. Could have just been a dinner buffet and the food is really, really good. Or maybe he was just watching adult films with the homies.

I'm guessing it wasn't actually damning enough tho, according to wiki, "King's wife Coretta Scott said the tapes comprised only 'mumbo jumbo'". And they didn't end up releasing the tapes. Maybe we'll see for ourselves in a couple years tho

Could have been just your average hockey scrimmage ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
