Nope, since their site is bragging about a 20th anniversary and this was more like 40 years ago.
It was part of an ‘honesty in advertising’ series. The other one I remember was a bar napkin with various attempts at a band name crossed out and settling on Three Guys in a Garage.
Yeah.
I’m 65 and white. My current GF is 45 and black as in Afro-Caribbean.
We have gotten some pretty entertaining reactions from car valets, hotel clerks, and restaurant waitstaff. Around here interracial couples are about as novel as Toyotas. But add the age difference on top and it seems to trip some triggers. Such fun.
Okay. This one choked me up a little a lot.
Your skin is darker than a paper bag. I think I’ll kill your children. How’s your weekend going, incidentally?
In pretty much every war, soldiers begin using slurs to ‘name’ the enemy. They do that as a way to dehumanize them – to make them seem less than human. And they do THAT so it’s easier to pull the trigger.
That’s the harm that comes from the intolerant rhetoric that we see so much of.
I wish I could figure out where it’s coming from …
This was already posted in the more appropriate thread.
Thanks. My thread-search-fu was lacking.
It’s okay, people didn’t feel like discussing it much there either. I guess there’s not much to say about it. It’s so unequivocally evil that there’s not much else to say except yeah, that’s fucking horrible.
The inexorable drift of the Awfulton window.
Nothing hard to figure out about it. Faux news and Russian propaganda is relentlessly pushing this stuff onto a susceptible populace that starts out with racial antipathy as a default setting and they’re then led one small step at a time right over the edge into batshit lunacy. Not everyone carries it far enough to actually do cfrazy shit rather than just hoping for crazy shit, but even 1/2 of 1 percent of 150 million Americans is a large number of people.
The country will not get better until that stuff is purged from the internet and the airwaves and is not permitted to return.
Since you know that stopping that stuff is impossible, you also now know that the country healing is also impossible.
And too damn close to where I live. Forget life guards, we need people whose job is to stop this shit
Sorry, it was an attempt at a smothering joke, Dignitas being an assisted suicide organization.
I thought I might have seen the ad you mentioned in Popular Science around the turn of the millennium but that would be about a decade and a half too late.
Vrooow!
(me)
Never heard of Dignitas so it went right over my head.
+1. I’ve used it for years and love it.
This law might not be utterly MFing idiotic if there were actual wild bears anywhere in the state.
I was going to make a Cocaine Bear joke but fucking Florida, in all sincerity it is literally a bill inspired by fear of Cocaine Bear.
Florida is so fucked up it makes bad jokes real life.
- Black bears are the only species of bear found in Florida.
- FWC biologists estimate that there are approximately 4,050 black bears in Florida.
Nine-One-One, what’s your emergency?
I have a dead bear in my living room.
Turn up the A/C.
It’s been on the fritz.
Wait, it was illegal to kill a bear in self defense prior to this law? Florida bears should have kept that lobbyist.
Never mind, probably best not said.
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing
But apparently somebody stopped the maniac in this case.
