  “Purple Drank or Lean is a cocktail that is created by mixing Robitussin or other over-the-counter cough medicines with, you guessed it, Skittles and Arizona Watermelon Juice, the flavor of tea Trayvon Martin was carrying that night.”. -Tuesday, May 29, 2012/ the Kansas Citian

  I note the price is in British pound.
  Isn’t it a hate crime in jolly ol’ England to mention white pride?

  Epic Marketing Fail.

  Every year in China there is at least one company which makes the mistake of somehow referring to the day or date on June 4 and incurring the Ire of Pooh. Irony is that with so much censorship and ignorance in the younger generation about Tiananmen Square Massacre, sometimes the mistake really is genuine. Also the cadre of online censors who are allowed to know all the details so can catch oblique references is quite small, so something can get legs on social media before it gets noticed by the right guys and stomped.

  Funny (not “HA, Ha.”) thing is rainbows require white light (I prefer “enlightenment”) before diversity of the “rainbow” can be seen and hopefully appreciated. … Yet, those that promote diversity would eliminate the requisite “white” enlightenment. … Just an observation.

  Zaphod, I understand the ref to Ben Shapiro but what’s the deal with Ann Barnhardt. Your comment caused me to look at her blog and then after listening to her for around 6 seconds on a YT vid, I had to leave; anything was better than that. But otherwise I know nothing about her.

  @Jack:

  Ann Barnhardt is kind of an Unguided Hyper-Catholic Missile. Imagine a Smoking Censer Bashing a Human Face Forever :). Back in the Middle Ages she would have been burned at the stake for preaching heresies (as defined by whoever she was annoying) in the market place. Probably some kind of divine holy spark animating her and she *does* attack a lot of the scumbags who need attacking, but Ye Gods… there’s something frightful about a full-on Estrogenic Apocalypse. I do find her spitting hatred of Bergolio very satisfying. Thing is, she’d anathematize JC Himself for not beating up the Money Changers in the Temple enough.

  Which is where Friend Ben comes in. I just think would be amusing to force them to inhabit the same confined space. I’m a bit of a sadist.
