There's an article on Fox featuring a former Bud exec explaining how Disney is making the same mistake as Bud Light, and it may be true, but there's one major difference: there are not 37 other easily obtained options to Disney like there are for Bud Light.

 

No one drinks Bud Light for the taste. They drink it for the cost.  And there are so many other cheap shitty beers, it's not hard to take a stand if you want.

 

But you don't just take your child to a different version of Disneyland because there is no equal.

 

And no, WallyWorld is not the same as Disney.

 

Moose at the front of the park shoulda toldya.

There have been lots of stories that Disney World is "empty" this year. The cost appears to be the major reason, but a "woke backlash" is also suspected.

Cost, I can definitely see. My social media feed is filled with friends and family who try to budget a week at Disney and decide a college education for their child is a bit cheaper. But I was also reading that if you don't know how to plan before you go -- fast track for rides, advanced reservations for restaurants -- you're screwed and standing in long lines in unpleasant weather.

I'll see your Fantasy Island and raise you a commercial I STILL can't get out of my head all these years later.

Yep.

I'd like to know how the other beer tents were doing at the same time.

Target says backlash against LGBTQ+ Pride merchandise hurt sales

 

</snip>

 

"The reaction is a signal for us to pause, adapt and learn so that our future approach to these moments balances celebration, inclusivity and broad-based appeal," said Christina Hennington, Target's chief growth officer, on a conference call with analysts on Wednesday.

 

Target's sales dropped by more than 5% in the second quarter. The company didn't specify how much of that decline was due to the Pride backlash, but said it was enough to affect the bottom line.

Is she actually working in the mental ward, or a patient at the mental ward?

Gender is a concept killed by Theseus.

The flaw in her logic is that minotaurs are half man and half bull, whereas her argument is total bull.

In her very limited defense, at least it's a metaphor that maintains that physical gender is a real thing.  Most gender studies people insist that gender is only behavioral, and physical gender can be wrong.  Which is so stupid, even bullshit looks at it and says "You're an even bigger pile of bovine feces than I am."

[Crap Throwing Clavin]

Gotta admit, I think this is a fair solution. 

 

That it never occurred to me, who tries to see both sides of any issue, is probably a measure of how contentious and stupid "transgender rights" truly is.
