my current herd of cats contains two half-Siamese half-Plain Ol Cat twins, both of whom are dumb af and would rather stare at a roach than chase it

they are gorgeous but their genetics on their mother's side basically looks like the family tree of the Habsburgs


the crossed eyes were Haws syndrome, it's cleared up now, it was loving hilarious though

The Australian National Broadband Network which is trying and failing to install fiber optic cable all over Australia has done some advertising, which really was spot on just not in the way they thought.

You guys have the Captain Planet businessmen and women all wrong. The majority of the episodes have them doing legal business when a gang of eco terrorists break in and start destroying things before a mullet sporting Superman appears to wreck even more poo poo.

The real question is, will this get white people to boycott KFC?

I wonder if someone can engineer some kind of boycott chain reaction that causes the alt-right to basically do all the same stuff hipsters do, but claim to be doing it because they hate black people.

The makeup industry has a history of excluding people with darker skin tones from their products and an ad that directly calls attention to it doesn't help.

Me crush ass to dust

It's a french ad. You can't even wear a headscarf there so it's not out of the ordinary. Also french people love that lovely movie The Intouchables which is a lovely knockoff of Driving Mrs. Daisy and even more racially insensitive.

Nothing racist about the ad itself. Just kind of an odd choice

I'm pretty sure they meant the concealer ad. Which is racist because it proudly demonstrates that not a single shade of their product is designed to work on dark skin.

Harlan Ellison's a serious motherfucker who fought with everyone in the rather small circle of sci-fi authors back in his heyday. While all his peers find him to be an unlikable prick he does have the positive traits of being consistently anti-imperialist and making fun of the worst troglodytes in the early sci-fi fandom.

The weirdest thing about it is that even if racism wasn't a thing it would still be an ad that says "look at our product not working!"

I don't think he's so much "anti-imperialist" as he is "pro-being-a-dick-to-people" and if he is wrong then goddamnit I don't wanna be right

nah usually the badguys are so eager to do their polluting that they skip things like permits and poo poo like i remember one episode where the planeteers actually get locked up in prison cause the badguys actually bothered to do poo poo legally
