Twitter's chief twit

Shhh…
Listen. Can you hear the millions of advertising dollars going down the X-Drain?

Comcast, IBM, Disney, Apple, Lionsgate, Warner Bros, and Paramount have all ended advg due to Elon’s antisemitic statements and his tolerance of that content.

Hate. Its bad for business. pic.twitter.com/e606tqAZaB

So much for limited government...

Sounds like Jordan wants to investigate Apple for not advertising on Twitter pic.twitter.com/Ls0zrolrw4

They have eyes, but still can't see

I hate to break it to you, @elonmusk

But a company choosing not to advertise on your platform is actually a perfect example of…

Wait for it…

Free speech. https://t.co/3dHKlwir1L

Elon Musk further proves that billionaires are just as dumb as the rest of us

CNN just reported that they spoke with Twitter advertisers, and the reason they’ve pulled their ads is because of Elon Musk’s own behavior since acquiring Twitter, including his tweet sharing a homophobic conspiracy theory about the brutal attack on Mr. Pelosi. https://t.co/5Uwev1nX48

This is not a show

From Les Moonves, CEO of CBS:

Speaking about the expected flood of campaign advertising dollars, which he described as “phenomenal,” Moonves said that he is glad to have so many Republicans competing for the nomination.

“The more they spend, the better it is for us and: Go Donald! Keep getting out there!” Moonves said. “And, you know, this is fun, watching this, let them spend money on us, and we love having them in there. We’re looking forward to a very exciting political year in ’16.”

Is there really much wonder as to why there's not a whole hell of a lot of confidence from the American people in our national media?  Never mind that the well-being of millions of people depends on this election, CBS is making money on a fucking clown show.

Let's hope that Gil Scott-Heron is right and that the revolution will not be televised.

Well I'll be....

From Anheuser-Busch today:

"We are disappointed and increasingly concerned by the recent incidents that have overshadowed this NFL season. We are not yet satisfied with the league's handling of behaviors that so clearly go against our own company culture and moral code. We have shared our concerns and expectations with the league."

There isn't much of the usual corporate bullshit in that statement--it's pretty clear the folks at Anheuser are none too happy with the NFL's bungling of a week's worth of coverage of the abusive behavior of a number of its stars.  And it is a little surprising, truth be told.

God knows I'm one of the first to point out the all too usual egregious behavior by U.S. corporations--Anheuser-Busch deserves the props it's been getting today for its no bullshit stance.  Especially considering that beer goes with football like popcorn goes with movies.

A panoply of wrong

So we were shopping at Meijer (midwestern big box chain) last weekend and we walked past their summer Americana display (Memorial Day, July 4th) which featured a selection of Budweiser hats.  Now I don't mind Americana displays--if a company can make a little money selling red, white, and blue table cloths or American flag t-shirts, bully for them.  Hell, I wouldn't even mind a tie in of Budweiser beer--many an American has sipped a cold one (or two, or three, or four, or....) over the course of a holiday weekend.  But a Budweiser hat?  It was a real what the fuck moment--as in, what the fuck does a Budweiser hat have to do with Americana or being patriotic?  (Yes, I know the can is red, white, and blue, but so is a loaf of
Aunt Millie's bread--and I didn't see any fucking Aunt Millie's hats.)

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised--I was watching a Tigers game last week, and it featured the "Depends Adult Diapers' Pitching Change."  As if a ten second announcement just couldn't be made without a sponsor.

Shouldn't be too long before we have the "Rolaids Crotch Grab...."

[Note for the Sarcasm Challenged:  it was actually the "Belle Tire Pitching Change," but I'm sure Depends could own it with enough cash.]
