Ah.. the currency of the little blue thumb.
Snooj
So glad this didn't turn into a Pitt's Tots situation.
WhatUpDog3000
He's not passing up a chance to promote himself.
stevelite
I heard he sleeps with sunglasses on.
Whatdoyousaytoanicecupoftea
He only calls himself Mr Worldwide because he has no control over his travel arrangements?
shackman
I would love a trip to Kodiak.
QuatermainFT
no, that was like... 3 years ago, not 14.
manystripes
An excuse to visit Alaska? Heck yeah!
MotoCanuck
Fuck the Waltons
DangerBaer
Seriously. I expected better from imgur.
misterCT
He really is worldwide
slightlybrokenegg
Of course the Kodiak Alaska Walmart has a giant stuffed bear lol.
uzetaab
That is very cool, but also, who wouldn't want to see a place like that. A win for everyone imo.
Babomonkey
And got paid more for his appearance than all the employee wages combined.
JohnThatcher
So, about $3.50?

HisBubbliness
Why would you do that to those poor Alaskans?
jakedafish
Unlike Taylor swift who had the same thing happen to her, except it was to perform at a high school for deaf kids and she refused to do it.
CouldYouDont
Can't charge those kids 3000$ per seat so it ain't worth it.
slightlybrokenegg
Okay so taylor had nothing to do with the school being removed from the contest that was purely the organizers doing. In fact after she found out it happened she organized a bunch of the sponsors and donated like 50k total to the school and a shit ton of musical instruments to the schools music program and sent the kids at the school all tickets to a local concert she was doing.
InfocalypseRising
Used to work with a guy who looked *exactly* like Pitbull. Unfortunately that guy sucked shit though.
alsoAzrael
like.... with a straw???
eetsumkaus
I'm really surprised given the content of Pitbull's songs and art that he hasn't had any significant MeToo controversies lmao. In fact, he might be one of the cleaner acts with respect to being a creep.

Why is Freddie Kruger there? #3

Why would he really care? Other than being a bit more trouble to fly there than usual it's just a day where he travels to a random Walmart, does a quick show, and Flys right back home again.
melandevile2000
It’s one of the most beautiful places on the planet.
azazyel
Kodiak is really fucking beautiful, they also have Puffins and Bears
ChorizoPig
Many years ago, I used to go up to Homer to record Tom Bodett for the Motel 6 campaign. Really fun if you go the right time of year. Fantastic halibut fishing.
quade
Oh my!

You can't call yourself Mr Worldwide and NOT go to places all over the World
stayingalive4life
I’m not diminishing what he did but it seems like it wasn’t a huge issue for him to go since it’s not like he was required to do anything overtly strenuous due to this. If anything, he knew he would get a fun trip out of it and a chance to promote himself some more.
QuatermainFT
Yes, but also a lot of people disliked him for some reason. The "internet hijacking" campaign was really mean spirited, intended as a middle finger to him. When he went and was gracious to everyone despite its intention as a punishment, he won a lot of people over.
MrGrundy
The only reason was he's more of a club music kind of guy and his music kept ending up everywhere, so people got burned out and decided to hate him. Kinda like Nickelback got all the hate being played everywhere. It's not fair on them, but it happens. I have no issues against Nickelback, but it's been overplayed on the radio to death.
QuatermainFT
All the postings I saw telling people to vote for kodiak weren't "haha, it would be funny if we did this", they were "fuck this guy, send him some place miserable".
JohnBluehill
Like me, that whole situation was handled perfectly. I know the voters did it to be mean, but he played along, and the town got put on the map for it. He basically owned the trolls.
Roune
Kodiak most certainly didn’t “get put on the map” for this. It’s been a pretty well known city for quite some time. Largest fishing port in Alaska, it’s a major transportation hub, and has the largest Coast Guard base
cxmpxsxd
Mr. Worldwide is a solid guy.
circlebreaker
He is too. I don't even like his music and I love the guy.
redstaterefugee
Except that he supports dog fighting
RealRaceRiotsAreAboutGettingBlueshelledInMarioKart
I thought that was an urban legend like Richard geer and the hamster? I can't find anything online. I'm sure he's been around the scene because he dealt drugs as a kid though. The more I read about the guy the more surprised at how much of 'not an asshole' he's turning out to be.
iktome99
Didn't he do private shows for MbS?
akodorokku
Yes he did.
RealRaceRiotsAreAboutGettingBlueshelledInMarioKart
I always thought he was a dick just from his music. Apparently he uses his plane to transport cancer patients. How did I not know this?
presswc
Sometimes the people who do good are doing it for the right reasons…
spiceass9000
What the hell? He actually is a genuinely good dude? I totally thought he was a douchebag. Don’t judge a book by its cover I guess
McBzz
Holy fuckin shit the man is a saint
Croaked
Cause that’s not remotely as interesting as scandals, unfortunately. We live in a shitty society where the inflammatory is the most wanted content.
TheYodajen
He seems cool, but also gross. This seems like it's a pretty awesome thing he did. I just don't trust celebrities to be all that great
thotterpop
Not to be obvious, but this was a promotion for Walmart, which in itself is already gross enough. They've been responsible for the deterioration of American economy. Underpaying their workers, killing rivals (specialty stores and mom/pop shops), fixing prices on anyone that sells through them, etc... their CEO family was the richest family in the US for a long time, and they're still up there.
Zixtank
That is completely fine, though allow me to say that you can respect a person without liking them.
itsthevoiceman
He seems like a pretty cool dude. Most definitely better than the celebrity in office atm
titoitoi
That last para tho
Zixtank
That is not a high bar to cross though...
Imtoolazytothinkofaname
Why does he seem gross?
LordHosk
Don't know anything about pittbull personally, but his music and music videos have a lot of hip hop/rap tropes that are derogatory towards women.
Imtoolazytothinkofaname
Yes. That tracks. Fair. Thank you
akodorokku
He did a private party for the murderous crown prince of Saudia Arabia in 2015.
getthismanabeer
Adding context: Khashoggi was murdered in 2018.
Imtoolazytothinkofaname
Another good reason. Thank you
ThingsThatDontJustifyGenocide
Like how my reaction to seeing companies sponsoring youtubers is to go "oh, that's a scammer, I don't trust them anymore". :D
(Hi, established titles, betterhelp, ubiquiti, raid, and countless others)
Athanar
This reaction brought to you by NordVPN.
Akule
And RAID: SHADOW LEGENDS
akodorokku
Lets be fair, taking a Raid: Shadow Legends sponsorship ONCE is a right of passage. Now, ever doing it again...
Debug200
Ubiquiti is considered a scam? They're pretty well-regarded in the networking community to my knowledge.
PumpkinDriver5
They’re the latest “Chinese companies are going to steal all your data” conspiracy theory. Last one was TP-Link.
It’s not like there are other options. Everything is made in or owned by China.
ThingsThatDontJustifyGenocide
No, there gear just mysteriously ends up on the russian warfront enabling and aiding genocide.
