I learned last week when taking my kids to see the Mario Bros. movie that it's no longer MPAA, but now MPA, the Motion Picture Association. I saw it on the green preview cards before each coming attraction. It's a bit scary: they now see their toxic behavior not only afflicting America, but the entire world.
- Joker_vD 4y agoThat's... been true for decades. The US has this peculiar level of international power where changes in its laws end up directly affecting the rest of the world.

I recall around 2010-2011 in Spain politicians made law called "Sinde", surname of the person behind it, at the time it was published in some newspapers that it came to fruition after a meeting/conversations with some USA government members, in some media they even called it "Sinde Biden", yep that one .
