I just remember going to Jordan and seeing a giant picture of the king's son, a preteen boy, in every building I entered. Can't imagine what kind of megalomania you develop from seeing shrines to you everywhere you go starting from your childhood.

Every fucking billboard, his kid looked like Sinjin from Victorious too.

I would go to weddings and they would fly banners of the king. Western puppet dog deserves to be overthrown.

I don’t know why but the image of non Americans watching cheesy american teen sitcoms is really funny

LMAO, sadly I'm a Palestinian living in America, grandmother lives in Jordan and I used to visit every summer, haven't been able to in a while though :(
