Kept repeatedly appearing on my DU page with a smiling woman wearing a "I don't care, do you?" T-shirt. No mistaking that political statement in this timeframe. Holy Moly it took a dozen times of clicking "As was inappropriate" for Google Chrome to remove it.
There's one odd hypocrisy in my view, for a company to be stylizing it's advertising as "1970's counter-culture" to be so complicit in it's right leaning advertising then placing that message as it's click-bait on a left-leaning site? Has Google got some RW freaks playing jokes like the anti-gay ads placed usurping LGBT videos? WTF, Google?
At one point I clicked just to see what they offered. There were more of the same, lot's of "proud I'm a drunken idiot", "You'll pry the guns from my cold, dead hands" and other dipshit shirts with no alternative offerings.
Wow... "Feelin Good Tees"... you certainly made me feel:
nauseated.

I could wear it because I dont give a shit about a lot of things.
This is another one of those group think things that I feel we need to walk away from.
Now if I get a lot of spainn then I feel I am right.

God bless the self-fulfilling prophecy. Keeping people validated in regards to their own cleverness for 1.75 million years.

There isn't much wiggle room for that at this time.

(2,809 posts)At least the first page had nothing but facepalmingly drunkard/stupid and GUN rights T shirts. Something's not left there. Er, right. Er... alternative from generalized RW nutjobbery. If they're too dense or stupid to see the bent of their site, not inclined to purchase anything from them, that horrible act by Melanoma is too fresh in my mind and much of my hispanic family and friends to be overlooked.
