Getting a Grip: Society

Society - Candy?!?

M & M's?!?

Are you shitting me??? Now candy is going woke, again...

I only today mention it because of this article. Recently for pride month Skittles went white, actually sort of an ashy light grey, because "Only one Rainbow matters during Pride". The colorful candies went white in 'honor' of pride month. But caught shit because the went "white'. Apparently that was somehow White Supremacist. There people out there on both ends of the spectrum who see conspiracies in EVERYTHING!

I dont know why companies do what they do under the guise of marketing. There are sure some super 'geniuses' in the corporate ether that believe they have a grip on the Zeitgeist of America. But yet with all of their education they always seem to miss the mark. Bud Lite became the inflection point/flash point for this "Woke" commercialism a couple years ago. I dont know if they have recovered yet. I hope they dont. I hope that marketing blunder will stand as a monument to the marketing industry "Go Woke Go Broke!".

Cracker Barrel just laid their head on the chopping block and results were not at all favorable. I dont know the numbers, but after loosing a S#IT TONNE of money overnight they went back to the standard model.

Harley Davidson tried it. Hired a "Cluster" of marketing "Geniuses" and the last I heard they were or were about to declare bankruptcy.

I see that Victoria's Secret is back to advertising with young 'Thin' models again. At least on the youtube.

American Eagle Outfitters "Came Out" as UN-Woke and made a killing. Sold out the "Good Jeans" in days. Stocks went UP by some. All the while the woke community was shitting them selves. Reading in to the commercial copy all manner of Nazi propaganda signals. I dont know what the end result of their add campaign is. But it did cause quite the sensation.

I dont guess I need to mention disney and the 'Wokification' of Snow White. And it seems that everything that the big z touches going forward is doomed by dint of association.

Target, The makers of Jack Daniels, Caterpillar, Ford, Boeing, John Deer, Amazon, McDonald's, Walmart... "The list is Long but Distinguished". (I tried to 'crop' this video down shorter but then I ran into a cookies problem)

But the One thing that can be incontrovertibly said is that being "White" in America is the one "Terrible No Good Rotten" thing that there is in America. White people bear the burden of Everything that goes wrong in America and by extension the world.

Buckle up for safety

Unless you are as tough as General William Tecumseh Sherman, emotional resilient as a Chicago Cubs Fan, have skin as thick as rhinoceros hide, are endowed with a sarcastic wit as sharp as Dennis Miller, and generally as able to take care of yourself as well as the average Nuclear Missile Submarine Commander, you should not opt to read this blog.

If you have read any of this blog and you cannot answer in the affirmative all of the above please have yourself treated, at your nearest hospital, as if you taken a month long field trip to the number 4 reactor at the Chernobyl power facilty then arrange for a qualified surgeon to amputate both of your arms at the elbows and extract your eyes as soon as can possibly be arranged.

This warning is necessary because it seems that this country has become so sickeningly Politically correct that we all have to worry about offending some poor simple, humor impaired turd's sensibilities for fear of being sued by the ACLU or other heavy handed tool of the "oppressed" and "offended".

Everyone seems to think that some time recently there was an eleventh "right" written in to the Bill of rights section of the constitution stipulating something about having the right to go through life without being offended in any way shape or form by anything or anyone no matter how trivial or ridiculous the "offense".

This new pervasive attitude of entitlement has created "Champions of Justice" attorneys who will sue the offending party of the first part into complete financial ruination just to see their name in the press.

I can, with absolute assurance, tell you that you will find something, in what I write here, that will offend and irritate. If you haven't yet, you will soon.

If you choose to ignore this warning you will be reading on at your own peril. You are sure to burst into flames of Righteous Indignation and acrimonious hatred the likes of which are typically reserved for former President G.W.Bush. Reading this blog will certainly have you vomiting up torrents of vitriolic outrage, in Tourette’s like volcanic eruptions, of the most vile, disgusting and hateful thoughts and words and deeds ... certain induce a cerebral aneurysm and/or massive stroke that will leave you bleeding from your eyes and ears, dead, balled up in a fetal position, twitching and spewing all manner of bodily fluids on the floor near your where you read this... or find, in a momentary spasm of lucidity, that you have been committed to an asylum with absolutely no hope of release, where you will spend the rest of your years laced up in a tight fitting straight jacket bobbing your head, violently back and forth, flinging snot and drool all over yourself and the padded walls of your dark windowless cell, muttering obscenities, cursing your mother and the day you were born.

Still reading? Great Now that we have scared off the lightweights, let’s have some fun.
