Sucrose posted:I could only make it for about 10 seconds. The bridge pins hold one end of the strings in. The picture is demonstrating how one would pull out the bridge pins, but the guitar in the photo has the strings under tension, so you'd never actually pull out the pins under tension like that without breaking stuff. edit: yeah, that too. The secondary function is as a bridge pin tool. It's like if the promo photo for a 40 function swiss army knife had a photo of only the corkscrew attachment visible, and making it look like the user was about to drill right into the top of a metal capped beer bottle canyoneer has a new favorite as of 23:02 on Aug 4, 2017 |

Someone at Walmart might be getting a talking to. http://www.rawstory.com/2017/08/walmart-apologizes-for-back-to-school-gun-display-urging-students-to-own-the-year-like-a-hero/ Having a rifle display urging students to 'own the school year like a hero' might be a mad marketing move.

It might also be some joker stealing the sign from a display of superhero-themed backpacks. Not that I'm desperate to defend Walmart, but it's pretty obvious that sign wasn't made for that display case, and the fact that Walmart sells hunting rifles in its sporting goods section is very old news.

I'm hearing radio commercials lately (Netherlands) for I think a cable provider that repeatedly references the toughness and manliness of Chuck Norris. Every time I'm so embarassed for them referencing a 10-15 year old internet meme that I can't remember what they're actually advertizing.

I dunno if this is a dumb marketing move so much as an incredibly ill-timed one. I got this marketing email in my inbox this morning, before today's events in Spain. (part of the narrative with those attacks is that this is the height of tourist season, and the attack occurred in a very tourist-heavy area)

Isn't that potentially giving some background on why the attack happened, and on growing anti-tourist sentiment in the city? CNN had a similar story as part of its coverage. Now, if the story included an ad for cheap holidays in Barcelona...
