Back to offensive costumes.  Thoughts on Shaun White facing backlash for dressing up as "simple jack," which is a character based off of Tropic Thunder?

Do we need ptown and fab to lecture us?

Stupid idea.  Rightly ridiculed for it.  Already apologized.

It was more of a scolding than a lecture, I'd say. :)

I disagree, especially when you consider context.  If his costume is inappropriate then that entire movie is inappropriate.

Nah it's pretty clear that asking people to not be assholes is a waste of time.

As you'll recall, it was called out as such when it came out.  I never said anything to the contrary, so I'm not sure what you're disagreeing with.

Simple Jack is fucking hilarious in any context.

Not a progressive, but if you need a laugh, go on Twitter and laugh at Jacob Wohl, the Trump supporter and idiot that tried to scam Mueller. Apparently was going to pay women to make sexual harassment claims against Mueller, FBI now investigating.

Both progressives and conservatives laughing at him.

The phone # for his fake intelligence company went to his mom's voicemail.

Ben and Jerry’s introduces a new flavor called “resist” today (lol supports the “women’s march” and Sarsour). Welcome to 2018, it’s so woke.

I saw this all over Twitter yesterday. At first I thought it was a joke, but it's not. They're calling it the angry icecream because of it's design.
For myself, I just appreciate the fact that, like the regressives, it's full of nuts :)

Shoot.  I love it.  If there is a segment of the population you can whip up into a frenzy and target with a product, why not?  I'd take their money, too.

Of course, but if you think the uptick from one side will more than offset any drop from the other, why not?

Ultimately, it's their company.  I'm cool with them doing what they want with it.

Ultimately it is Unilever's Company, but agreed. I just don't think things like this result in uptick, vs a possible backlash. They didn't really hide their hippyism though so it's probably fine. I just think it is hilarious in the same breath of criticizing Trump they are having photo-ops with Sarsour, who is a much worse human being.

I'm not arguing with their ability or want to do it. I'm simply saying that I find it a bit more than a little tongue-in-cheek that they are packing an ice cream full of nuts, calling it resist and the picture on the contain portrays angry people.

Sure.

It's the same sort of irony that decries tyranny while wearing a Che Guevara shirt.  Indicative of blind partisan politics.

Oh, that part is funny.  I kinda love it.
