Congrats to LeBron for this blessed event.
Streisand who?
That's the most not the onion title I've seen recently that isn't politics related.
Also I'm sad they didn't have any pictures, sounds silly.
there b some specific ass gifs out there
I don't think that is the original text of the gif...
Maybe LeBron and Arnold Schwarzenegger could star in a movie together?
Barbra Streisand could do the music!

There's no such thing as bad publicity
I mean, I get it. Personally, if the one who wanted to make fake AI photos/videos of me (a cis male) as pregnant, I really could not possibly give a shit. Might even be amused by it. But I’m just some random nobody…
However, if I were an international sports superstar with a multimillion dollar brand to protect (and countless millions in business deals relying on that established character), then, yeah, I would give a HUGE shit about this, but only for one reason: it’s a random stranger making unfounded character claims about my brand that I have worked very hard and for a very long time to define and establish. It’s how I feed my family.
When some Rando makes a silly meme with Photoshop, that’s one thing. But when they fabricate an alternate reality, that crosses the goddamn line.
Edit: spells and grams
People are disgusted by celebrity deepfake porn, but find this funny.
I say, they're both equally bad.
Making LeBron James look pregnant is equally bad as deepfake porn? That's absurd.
As a society, we need the silly things like this to educate the people about how easy it is to generate this stuff. It's almost better if their first exposure is something dumb and unbelievable.
