Wow, corporations are sooooo generous.

[Dave Reynolds]

GM is cutting people 90 day payment deferments without penalty! And they are lending 25 whole vehicles to the rescue effort! Sweet!

Ford is giving people 60 day deferments on loans too! Fuckin-A!

Carnival Cruise Lines states that using cruise ships as refuges creates a whole list of problems, and they are going to give it some thought. Yayyyy, at least they're gonna think about it!

Oh, and in case you have not figured it out: :sarcasm:

1. Right...I am going to pay for a vehicle

that is laying at the bottom of the blue bayou --- Unfrickin believable - oh, those cruise ships might get soiled by the unwashed refugees - sickening, just sickening

Time for outrage folks, time for big outrage

4. I'm feeling a little pissed today,

people are dead, and are going to be dying by the hundreds, if not thousands, of disease.

This hurricane was not a surprise, but no agency seems to have planned for it.

And the fucking corporations are only worried about the bottom line.

2. Well we wouldn't want all those poor people to have any fun

on those cruse ships now would we? They might expect a free vacation everytime a tragedy occurs.:sarcasm:

[Dave Reynolds]

5. Really,

poor people playing shuffleboard? The horrors! No suits and ties in the dining room? Oh, I may faint!

I'm really feeling anti-corp today.

3. This is why i smile at the Wal-Mart commercials

They tout their "service to the community" and blah-blah-blah.
1. They wouldn't need advertisements to tell us how generous their company is if their positive impact on the community matched the negative impact.

2. I presume that Wal-Mart would not even be worried about giving back to the community if people didn't hate them so much. I am convinced that the underlying motives (for GM and Ford, and Wal-Mart) are PR related.

I realize that these companies don't HAVE to do community "service", for lack of a better term, I do, however, question their motives.

6. "Wal-Mart,

We don't suck as much as you thought, huh?"

I'm gonna pitch that one at their ad agency.

7. haha, I like it!
