I gave the Gillette ad a second view, and I still can't figure out the part that upsets people. I even tried breaking down the actual commercial, and I'm not sure where anybody gets the idea that it was even implied to brush all of the male population with the toxic masculinity brush.
Having said that, I also enjoy the response ad put out by watch company Egard Watches:
I anticipate Quaker will be starting a "Buy Egard Watches". If its half as good as his boycott of Gillette, Egard should be a Fortune 10 company by Q4 2019.
I’m outraged that we are still losing brave young men to dumbass deployments in the Middle East. Syria, Afghanistan, the fuck.
I checked weather.com forecast last Sunday and they were predicting 5-8 inches of snow Saturday and another 1-3 saturday night. All week the local guys are like "lol you cant predict snowfall totals this far out the system is still out in the pacific and hasnt crossed the rocky mountains yet we have to wait until at least thursday guyz." Here we are Snowmageddon eve and what's predicted for tomorrow? 6-10 inches.

Are you aware how weather works, in relation to latitude?

Probably as aware of that as he is as to how the world of employment works. And as this thread shows, he's a real champ at that!
Not outraging me but Liberal Twitter is up in arms about some kids from Covington Catholic "taunting" a native American in DC. Pretty funny to see people calling for the death penalty for a high school kid because he was standing there smirking.
posted by friendfromlowryNot really outraging me but still something I hear about sometimes and it baffles me. My coworker and I work night shift. She was telling me the other day how her boyfriend, who is also the father of her 2 year old daughter doesn't like being around the little girl for more than a few hours at a time. My coworker will get off work around 0730am, go home and wait for the girl to wake up, feed her, then she gets to lay down for a few hours before her boyfriend will want her to wake up and resume taking care of the daughter. Can't believe how disinterested (and inconsiderate to their spouses) some people can be with their kids. Maybe the boyfriend is secretly Tiernan.
I can't stand people like that.

Agree. I find it pathetic and disgusting.

Holding someone accountable for their ignorant, awful, asshole behavior is not ruining their life.
I had my bratty moments when I was a teen, but I never taunted or threatened anyone and I was definitely not a racist little fuck.

Trying to get the kid's college acceptance rejected by bombarding his future college is trying to ruin his life. Also you might want to note that theythey the wrong kid and so they are trying to ruin a kid's life for something someone else did. But it's all being done in the name of being "woke" so I'm sure that's fine with you.

That kid had a very punchable face.
The Native American wrote that he wanted the school and parents to be made aware of their actions for them to deal with it.
And I am "outraging today" about what those kids did. It doesn't matter that they are wearing MAGA hats or who is president and "condoning it". It's bad behavior that needs to be corrected.
In the meantime, apparently others have picked up the ball and are making noise about some of those kids and their future plans. (and I would not do that..... I would want the school and parents to handle it)

That's what I noticed more than anything else about that video. I didn't even really care what he was doing; I just wanted to see him get crushed by a fist just from looking at him.
I honestly couldn't watch that stupid smirk for more than about 30 seconds, so I didn't make it to the end of the video.
And, again, most people who wear MAGA crap are doing so to offend people and provoke reactions. So that gives you a good idea that this highschool contains a lot of a*holes who will become fine Frat pricks in college.
You have to have espn+ to watch the ufc on espn tonight? Lol k, fuck espn.
Well... there is footage out now that the man walked up to the kids and then stood in front of that one kid while banging his drum. He walked up to them and stood there. In the meantime everybody is cutting on the kids when they didn't go up to this guy like the original video made it out to be.
We on this site are just as guilty of getting on our high horse and popping off when we don't know the full story as is anybody on Twitter.
Good job!
