He's a very big attention seeker, in my opinion. I like him, but I find some of his antics a bit much. He's an actor by trade, so unsurprisingly loves attention.

He's OBSESSED with white girls-black guys. It's becoming a bit irritating if I'm honest. Then again, Americans in general seem a lot more preoccupied with race.
Cognitive Dissonance from the both of you.......
Expand please. Are you denying he's an attention seeker, or the fact he's obsessed with race?
As an aside, reading his comments, it seems a lot of Americans are quite oblivious that places like Ayia Napa exist. I think the closest you guys have is Spring Break in Cancun perhaps?
Ayia Napa is pretty played out, I was surprised to see so many Brits still go. The types that used to frequent there, usually hit places such as Sunny Beach in Bulgaria these days.
It's a bit like 'EDM', one of the few things Americans are quite a bit behind on. Rave culture and dance music (newly christened EDM in the States) has been popular in Europe for decades. Weird, considering house music was invented by black Americans. I think in Chicago or Detroit if I remember correctly.

Chicago. Came out of the gay black scene there at that. Frankie Knuckles recently died, he was the godfather of house music.
Never heard of Ayia Napa, I googled it and I'm surprised it's played out because it looks poppin' to me. At 38 the crowd seems a bit too young for me at this point but wish I'd knew about this years ago.

Cosign. There are some artists like Miguel Migs and Little Louie Vega who still produce house steeped in the soulful tradition but it's mostly died out and the more hard house, progressive, trance, dubstep stuff has taken over.

RE: Vice Links Up With Black Dude In Moscow
^ Not necessarily played out as such, but 'been done' so to speak. I guess I'm talking about chav types, who I associate those types of holidays with. I refer to places such as Magaluf (girl giving blow jobs for drinks place). Yeah the crowd is young.
Plenty of people I grew up with went to Ayia Napa around 2004-2006, so maybe it's just me being older that I see it as being played out.
Edit: Indeed, a work colleague from last year who was 19 mentioned Ayia Napa as the holiday destination he and his mates were going to. So yeah, it must still be a destination popular with young Brits. It was considered the most 'rough' for a period. Particularly a period when 'Niche' music was popular. I think 'Bassline' is the mainstream term for it (from Wiki). 'Niche' was an English nightclub in Sheffield that became synonymous with the term.
