You hit on the real issue. Eventually, all the nonsense gives way to clearer thinking and more commonsense. But that doesn’t mean there is anything left worth saving afterward. Example; how many irreparably damaged lids will there be when the transition madness ends? Sometimes, things are not fixable. That goes for countries and societies too.
Which becomes problematic when the obese rep dies suddenly, which I believe has happened once recently.
Listen, if you are fat, you are susceptible to diabetes, heart problems, high blood pressure, orthopedic issues, etc. These fat modeling folks are unhealthy and, after smoking, have lifestyles most associated with disease and premature death. Full stop. Tis the science my fat friends. If you have a medical issue driving your weight gain, get it treated. If you just eat too much, shut your mouth. I actually use some Dove products - I will be looking for a substitute. Their new spokesperson is neither beautiful to look at or listen to. And they as a nominal health and beauty product provider should not be promoting an unhealthy lifestyle.
More stupidity in the corporate marketing offices. Amazing.
There seems to be a rationale for hard times to get a society back to health. We've had it so easy for so long. In 1938, advertising campaigns were common-sensical. Today there is drek.
Uglifying everything is part and parcel normalizing the abnormal. But just like the anti-establishment revolutionaries becoming the establishment, what have you got? When you tear down the foundation, where does the rebuilding begin? Like the dog chasing a car, what does the dog do when he catches the car...
I do! I especially remember the Edsel that Buddy Hackett’s character in The Love Bug re-worked into “modern art.” He said that it was happier that way. He was not wrong.
Oh, how I miss real character actors and good Disney films.
09/20/23: "The Force Awakens........$308 million.........$667 million
Rogue One......................$200 million.........$294 million
The Last Jedi...................$262 million.........$409 million
Soylo................................$275 million.........$364 million
The Rise of Skywalker.....$275 million.........$554 million
"So [Disney] claimed these five films cost $1.3 billion.
"But the actual costs are $2.29 billion."
Which reinforces what I've been saying all along --- "woke" corporations, "banks" (in reality, nothing but Political Action Committees) --- are Mafia-type bust-outs.
True, he helped shred the last vestiges of the old Republic, and brought about a tyrannical dictatorial empire. Seems consistent with the ambitions of many of our real life public servants.
The new Apple climate commercial appears to be a testament to F’d up science, obnoxious fat broads and corporate stupidity…’We want to eliminate carbon from the atmosphere’…WTF!
What ails this woke stupidity the most is that they think spending MORE on something means you get a better product and nothing could be further from the truth.
Yep. In the long liberal world, especially while spending other peoples money, there is no such thing as a bad policy. They just double down and say “well, we just haven’t spent enough money on the issue”. Liberals aare the reason your mother warned you about running with scissors. They never ever learn in life.
Wow—interesting link! NO blacks, sprinkling of white women; the rest white men, but nowhere near enough gray hair (meaning lacking wisdom and perspective). Probably all hard core Woke.
So these are the folks stupid enough to be cooperating with Communist China in providing tools for the surveillance and control of populations.
Me too, but I only dyed mine for a few years in my forties. It’s all white now and I love it - it has body and shine that it never has when it was brown. There are definitely some advantages to getting old.
I had red hair and couldnt stand the thought the grey would be an iron grey not the pretty one I ended up with. Plus it was a lot of grey so I dyed it. My mom's dad was white before he was a Junior in high school.
Now in fairness - they told China they are pulling production out of China - not for any altruistic reason, but because China is literally disintegrating before our very eyes and they need to move their supply chains out to survive as a company.
As they pull out, the surveillance state desires will lessen, especially as in the US the SCOTUS pretty much says you cannot act as an agent of the federal government in the challenging of the rights citizens possess through the US Constitution.
No, Apple knew exactly what it was doing about a year ago when, at the request of the CCP it removed the AirDrop feature on only the iPhones in China, that the anti-CCP protesters had been using:
And this is far from the only time they have assisted China in this way.
Apple and Google are both monopolies that have been building in America the same surveillance and control infrastructure used in Communist China. Amazon's Alexa and Apple's Siri are also part of that infrastructure.
Oh - I was misunderstood. Yes, they have certainly kowtowed to the CCP before. I was only noting that the environment in which Apple operates is now changing because China is falling. They will have less incentive to access the Chinese market. So less pressure to be authoritarian jerks.
But they should have resisted being authoritarian jerks from the beginning with China. And they are intimate cooperative partners with the censoring authoritarian Democratic party in the US.
What I dont understand is that CO2 is about or less that 1% of the atmosphere. It is plant food. We as humans are MADE from it. It is not a poison but they are treating it like poison. If we drop the CO2 level, what will the plants use? I thought our future was eating plants and crickets? And yes, he looks like he has a permanently installed stick.
It is a sad commentary that the Left champions obesity, instead of seeing it as an emotional and medical condition. Similarly, they champion sexual perversions. They justify and excuse criminal and violent acts. At the same time the Left and our government criminalize patriotism. These are all efforts to destroy the Judeo-Christian culture of the United States. They are attempting to normalize their own criminal activities at the expense of law abiding citizens. We must unite in our opposition to all these cultural obscenities.
On the positive side, 2500 bibles are bought every hour around the globe! That means we, the people of the earth are searching for and finding God.
It is because all the left really cares about is destroying all that represents Judeo-Christian ethics and culture, which is all of western culture since as late as the 4th century.
Cosmetics were created millennia ago to make people look healthy. Red lips, red fingernails and smooth skin are signs of health. Why would someone adopt blue or black fingernails which are symptoms of illness? Plumpness is a sign of health in a society where food is scarce, obesity is not and never be a sign of health in our times.
I chose the word "people” specifically to include men as it is historically accurate. I am also aware that women used cosmetics with arsenic to create pale skin to differentiate them from the lower classes that worked in the sun. We can acknowledge that arsenic based cosmetics were a bad idea, and history is full of bad ideas.
They made tankards out of lead. So yeah. Bad ideas. But I needed the laugh this morning so thank you. The MRS degree was still a big thing when I went to school too.
If someone is obese and owns it, fine by me - just don't whine about being fat-shamed, expect special treatment, or allowances made for you because you're fat and lazy.
Imagine those two flying together in coach class wedged into their seats like an over-stuffed trash can. I guess that would be a commercial for how well Dove soap keeps you smelling sweet when you are that close for a 4 hour flight.
Obese people on airplanes is a major pet peeve of mine. Anyone who needs a seat belt extender should be forced to purchase two (or three) seats. Looks to me as if that Zyahna creature would need a whole row.
Great article. If I were going to pick a person to run my company, one I built, I would pick someone with the same knowledge base, work history, and life background and train them on the rest. Over the decades, there has been a big shift in how corporate board members have been picked. No longer do they pick people who started with nothing and built highly successful companies. They were revered as being wise and careful with business decisions. Today, it’s all about youth and getting the brightest person, who likely has never really built anything at all. Corporations today believe they must make split second decisions and embrace new but unproven technologies to stay ahead. Thats arrogant, but easy to do when you are wagering with other peoples money. In the case of people like Bob Iger, where was the board when he was making these arrogant and risky money decision? In all likelihood, they were silent because he had a direct hand in who was selected for the boards. And where were the major stock holders while he was doing arrogant and stupid things? They were silent, because they were his friends. When the system is stacked to create a quasi corporate dictatorship, it’s always the rest of us who suffer. Now, apply this same problem to the federal government and what do you have? People like Pete Butthead and Jennifer Granholm, two of the dumbest and most arrogant people to ever screw up a country. Choices in life matter and like the ancient one said in one of the Indy movies “choose wisely”. Good life advice. In the corporate world as well as the government sector, if you don’t care how much you are spending or where it came from, life for you is very easy.
You've just described Washington. Life-long grifters who never built anything squandering other people's hard earned money through the theft-tax system.
And we all let them do it because it happened in a sort of slow motion. Now we see it for what it is, institutionalized incompetence. It will take decades to fix this.
"Today, it’s all about youth and getting the brightest person, who likely has never really built anything at all." Like OceanGate, the firm that built that Titan minisub that imploded at the "Titanic" site back in June. The head of OceanGate who died along with four other passengers back in June boasted that he had hired "extremely bright" young people (none older than 25) with next to NO experience with undersea vessels instead of "tired old" submariners with 30 years or more of experience. And look what happened!
Sad they paid for it with their lives too. Sometimes I think it's good that ignorant people lose their money due to arrogance and inexperience. But I hate that a lot of middle class people lose their retirement incomes because of it. Everyone needs to educate themselves about their investments and realize that the Bob Iger's of the world are not their friends and are not looking out for their investments. Be careful who you trust with YOUR money.
Hollywood, home of: "How much crap can we include, how many from the left can we employ, and how many people can we piss off and still make money?" Answer from the masses: "Let's stay home and watch a ball game."
Perfect. Sometimes one has to wonder if the Hollywood movies are being marketed based on their content and story or on the fact that they spent a record amount of money to make it. Cue Disney.
The problem is they dont care. They want their taste and if it is at the expense of everyone else, then so be it. A lot of companies started hiring yes people and the incompetents know that they can mess up their area but they will be shifted to a new area in 18-3 yrs. So long as they can keep the lid on the mess that long, they will be long gone before it becomes an issue and it is the new guys problem.
The last several yrs there are 2 kinds of people in business, coffee slupers/meeting makers or people who know what they are doing. The people who know what they are doing dont ever get promoted because the area they are in will blow up right away if they leave. Hence, the incompetent ones fail up.
We used to say that in the Army. You would see leaders all the time "screw up and move up". It's called getting rid of the problem...............but it doesn't go away. I have said for years the problem with the congress is that they have kicked the can down the road on real critical issues for so long that the problems are too big for them to take on now so they punt and defer and leave it for the next guy to fix. Remember when GW Bush tried to start a dialog on the coming crisis of SSI? They all but strung him up and that was the end of the issue. So here we are, watching our country go belly up because we cannot get honest, moral, ethical people into the congress to fix these things. Now we are left hoping Trump can be re-elected to break enough stuff so that congress critters feel comfortable enough to remake them without the corruption. Disheartening at best.
Bud Light was trying to do two things with Mr. Mulvaney. One, it was trying to become a "gay beer." (More and more Americans are identifying as gay or one of its variants, so it is a growing market.) Two, Mulvaney is an "influencer" with teens, so it was appealing to underage drinkers in hopes of keeping them once they turned 21. Of course, Anheuser-Busch couldn't publicly ADMIT to either one of these marketing strategies; the first would have killed them with their redneck base and the second is illegal. As so often happens, when you are too clever by half, you end up half-clever.
Dove's tag line is "Let's Change Beauty". Seriously?
This is a true Bud Light moment of cluelessness. How many people want to associate with a brand that believes morbidly obese, tatted females with fat jiggling over their belt is beauty? Most heavy people try to hide their fat with loose clothing. These chicks push their bellies out farther than a redneck.
It is true that America is getting fat - just look around the next time you are at the grocery store. Do they think ads like this will make consumers feel better about their "fat" self? This doesn't make me want to associate with the Dove brand.
I see everything that is currently going on since the Biden Clown Car pulled into the parking lot, as appeasements for those of the 13% of our population who, no matter how much money is thrown at them, no matter how many excuses are bestowed, no matter how much housing, money, education is given, refuse to succeed.
Just another genius in marketing trying to widen the market base. Because you know it’s all about that Bass.
Just wait till they start yammering about saving water and not bathing.
Then we’ll be in a fine mess.
But when you think about it, even if they lose some customers, the new ones they bring in have 2 to 3 times the surface area, and therefore will use more product.
When I worked in the corporate world I noticed that big companies would latch unto the latest management trend. It seemed like every year there was a different new initiative being dictated from the head office. IMHO this woke-ism is the same thing and next year will be replaced by some other new idea. Whether it will be more or less silly than woke-ism remains to be seen. Ironic how CEOs who foist these money losing schemes on their companies get a golden parachute when the board decides to get shut of them.
The Dove model is the latest in a line of Stacy Abrams-like creatures that are repping products.
Normalizing the abnormal will ultimately destroy the left. Will we have a country left to salvage?
You beat me to it on the Stacy Abrams comparison. But she can console herself with the fact that she'll always be the original Brown Hippo ..
Brown Hippo...that's not Oprah? My bad.
Oooh! "Brown Hippo" - sounds like a song that Mick Jagger can spin off from "Brown Sugar"...
Brown Ate Too Much Sugar.
You hit on the real issue. Eventually, all the nonsense gives way to clearer thinking and more commonsense. But that doesn’t mean there is anything left worth saving afterward. Example; how many irreparably damaged lids will there be when the transition madness ends? Sometimes, things are not fixable. That goes for countries and societies too.

More stupidity in the corporate marketing offices. Amazing.
Big, contrary to some opinions, AIN'T beautiful. It's called morbid obesity. In this particular case, there needs to be a modifier like "grotesquely."
Yes, they are promoting an evil thing!

Smart. Very smart.

I think Jar Jar Binks is brighter than most of these corporate leaders.

Good Eyes TPG but tha lack of grey hair might not be true. It is after all Cali. Remember ‘Only her Hair Dresser knows for sure!’

I chose the word "people” specifically to include men as it is historically accurate.

I can only shake my head.
Is there an adult left in the room to say, "That's dumb. Don't be an idiot. STOP that!"?
We'll see...
Right?! I mean what’s the breaking point?
They ant you to believe being obese is just fine.
That a man can become woman or a woman can become a man.
That if we get rid of the of our natural energy sources , which power every engine in life, we can change the weather.
That the Ukraine war is about “saving democracy”.
That January 6th was an insurrection.
That Covid was gonna kill everyone.
That the vax would keep you from getting sick or transmitting it.
That mail-in ballots make voting better.
Ad infinitum~ The list is endless!
We are being bombarded by lies and falsities at an astonishing rate, multiple times a day, 365 days a year.
And they all have one thing in common: they all are gonna kill us if we don’t kill them first.
DO NOT COMPLY.
If someone is obese and owns it, fine by me - just don't whine about being fat-shamed, expect special treatment, or allowances made for you because you're fat and lazy.

I see everything that is currently going on since the Biden Clown Car pulled into the parking lot, as appeasements for those of the 13% of our population who, no matter how much money is thrown at them, no matter how many excuses are bestowed, no matter how much housing, money, education is given, refuse to succeed.
Just another genius in marketing trying to widen the market base. Because you know it’s all about that Bass.
Just wait till they start yammering about saving water and not bathing.
Then we’ll be in a fine mess.
But when you think about it, even if they lose some customers, the new ones they bring in have 2 to 3 times the surface area, and therefore will use more product.

And to think Fat Bottom girls use to rule, till they didn't. Thank the gods Queen still has Bohemian Rhapsody

Wokeism, Innumeracy, Illiteracy, Impunity, Sloth.
All have the same parents.
When I worked in the corporate world I noticed that big companies would latch unto the latest management trend. It seemed like every year there was a different new initiative being dictated from the head office. IMHO this woke-ism is the same thing and next year will be replaced by some other new idea. Whether it will be more or less silly than woke-ism remains to be seen. Ironic how CEOs who foist these money losing schemes on their companies get a golden parachute when the board decides to get shut of them.
"Consultants" and snake oil salesmen (persons?) gotta get rich somehow!
Hey, now...I'm a consultant...
