Um, WTF Is Going On With Gwyneth & A Very Beckham Weekend

I think the cultural point that we're at right now where people love to criticise cancel culture, there's power in the backlash to the backlash.

So the fact that she's done this ad, everybody who knows what's going on in that region says...

Gwyneth, what the fuck?

And then people say, oh, it's just all the work people, she can't even do an ad, she can't even say Israel.

Witnesses say the shark was three to four metres, with experts suspecting that it was a great white, which is incredibly rare in the area.
