Have you noticed that the majority of Heather Wade's Facebook likes are by people with very interesting-sounding African names and professional looking pictures? Is she really more popular in Africa than anywhere else? Can anybody solve the mystery of all these African people liking her show?

She doesn't do anything without Art Bell's approval. 

Is this who we thought he was?

I would have thought that there would have been lots of Philliphinos.

As long as they're sure which ones; tough love, Philippines style.

A violent crackdown on illegal drugs in the Philippines has left more than 1,900 people dead in the last seven weeks.
The BBC spoke to two people in the middle of the drug war - a small-time drug dealer fearing for his life, and an assassin hired to kill people just like him.

How does this work? Do these people get paid for allowing their names and pictures to be used, or do they not even know?

Are these really their names, or do they make them up?

"Matha Ka Coolar" sounds made up. Either that or they're an African rapper.

African mail order husband?
Not sure on the husband thing but for flings has been going on for a while, apparently. Reuters, not the BBC, covered the issue a few years ago.

#CrookedHeather.

Funny you say this, because I noticed the exact same thing on Crooked Hillary's page. 

If you pay attention this is exactly what happens:

Hillary posts an "update", then 5 seconds later some guy named "Kumar" in India posts the same exact pro-Hillary comment on each post.  I've seen at least a dozen of these shady-ass Indian outsourced commentators on her page.  I guess Heather's doing the same for Likes?

The same as the Trump supporters posting from Russia.

What a world we live in now. No one wants to stand on their own merit, they have to buy fake adulation.  ::)

Its all the more saddening that on anti social media, a 'like' counts for something. Some get genuinely depressed if the bollox they spout 'Look, this is what I ate for breakfast' isn't universally appreciated. And the world has ended if an 'unfriend' ensues. I'm not really surprised therefore that such as HW (and I doubt she's the only one by a country mile) think that it's perfectly acceptable and maybe even expected to buy adulation in this way. In the 70's and 80's and into the 90's, record companies bought en masse singles to get them up the charts to artificially game the 'popularity' of a track, so the idea isn't a new one.

What is the current rate for top tier adulation? Asking for a friend

In SV's case; as much gold as he can eat, high performance sports cars, access to biologically accommodating nymphomaniacs and as much cheese as he can stack on his crackers.

I am in awe of his magnetic attraction. But I'm not bitter.

It sure isn't paying for one.  ::)
