    Yeah, the owner's a serious billionaire douche bag.

    I was tempted to make a video about him but he's also infamously petty, even with people like me who don't matter, and I don't need a billionaire blowing up my life because I made a mean video about him. (Even if it's deserved.)

    In case you didn't know, Madison Square Garden had no issue hosting a 20,000 person pro-nazi rally in 1939.
