NEW Stupid Republican Idea of the Day (Part 1)

Those two are the gift that keeps on giving.

One Million Moms demands Uber Eats stop running their ad with Queer Eye’s Jonathan Van Ness because it’s “pushing the LGBTQ agenda on families”
One Million Moms targets Uber Eats over Jonathan Van Ness ads?

Are there really a million of them? That’s depressing.

One Wyoming Dad Tells One Million Moms to Go Fuck Themselves.

Eh, sounded better in my head, but I’m tired, so I’ll let it stand.

Tell them one million times.

The Biden campaign trolled him:

Biden | Harris War Room (Text JOE to 30330)

We disagree with Tucker Carlson on the issues, but no one should ever lose their mail. Joe will make sure the USPS receives the funding it needs to prevent this from happening, and end Trump and DeJoy’s efforts to sabotage it so that people like Tucker can get their mail on time.

It was awesome.

Nah, not really. Before they abandoned Facebook, their ‘like’ count was rather low; the common joke was something to the effect of “a few angry guys and a fax machine.” At one point, they were headed by a bunch of men, although the last time they had a photo op there was a woman there who they claimed had some position of power.

Nah, the are lucky to break 4 figures on most of their petitions.

They pretty much just exist to point out the fun or exciting things that we otherwise may have missed.

You know, until you said that I didn’t have the image in my head.

Meanwhile Uber Eats squeals with glee as their ad campaign’s exposure goes up by an order of magnitude.

Hmmm, this gives me an idea for a business opportunity. Form a fake organization purportedly made up of busy bodies who nobody likes, and then for a, modest fee of $10,000, offer to companies a chance to be boycotted by you for, say, “Including women with unclad calves in their ads.”

I don’t watch the new Queer Eye, so I didn’t realize that he was a guy that I should recognize. I thought he was just “annoying commercial spokesman” like the annoying Dr. Pepper spokesman or Captain Obvious from… some travel company or other or Doug from Liberty Mutual.

Huh.

Wrong thread, dude. This is “Stupid Republican Ideas,” not “Brilliant Marketing Hacks.”

[aside]The new Queer Eye is vastly superior to the one from the 80s (?). It’s about lots more than just fashion. Yeah, Jonathan is over the top, but these guys work miracles in people’s lives by drowning them in love. Seriously. If you only watch one episode, go to Jones BBQ. IMHO seasons 2 & 3 were the best. I cried at the end of every episode.[/aside]

The ‘80s?!! :face_with_raised_eyebrow: No way, says I. (Looking it up, the original series ran from 2003-2007.)

I’m trying to imagine what that show would have been like, had it run in the 1980s.

REALLY??? :scream: Yikes. this old lady is completely out of touch… Of course, to me the 80s were just yesterday. Anyhoo, the new QE is terrific, (except for the Japanese episodes).

Wohl and Burkman didn’t make the court mandated phone calls.

For instance, A-list celebrities considered for pandemic-related public service announcements were individually rated based on their loyalty to Trump and other political leanings. Of the 274 celebrities reviewed, only 10 made the cut. The rest were rejected, including Jack Black, who was dubbed a “classic Hollywood liberal” and Judd Apatow, who, the documents say, “believes Trump does not have the intellectual capacity to run as President.”

The only positive here is that after their stupidity filter, they couldn’t find a single celebrity out of the 274 to go along with the plan.

The idea that people were being rated based on their loyalty to Trump is something out of a dictatorial playbook. It’s really kind of scary.
