More confirmation that M&Ms are just “an edible technological trinket.”

I quit at 29 seconds. Immediately after the phrase, “the people at Mars Candy weren’t bad people. they were just ignorant.” ugh.
M&M’s have now been added to my list of companies I will no longer patronize.

Ditto that.

Thanks for the heads-up, I won’t bother to view it. Probably meant to be “cute”, but it only serves to further divide. Oh, and I can almost hear the plaintiff cry of the perpetually ass-chapped, “Lighten-up! It’s just a joke!”

Hahahaha! I know right. I’m right there with ya but I looked. It’s stupid and you aren’t missing anything. It’s gay shit.
AggieJanuary 31, 2022, 8:17 AM
Oh I’m so outraged. I just can’t….Oh, the umbrage. Oh, the indignity, the effrontery. Oh, my, get out of the way please, Oh it’s the worst catastrophe, the smoke and flames, crashing to the ground. I can’t talk, ladies and gentlemen, all the smoke and wreckage. I can hardly breathe. Oh, the humidity.
(Did anybody else see this was a satire from the Babylon Bee? )
Yes, but not immediately. The Babylon Bee has become America’s newspaper of note. Because of the astounding and ridiculous farce that America’s culture and politics have become, it is difficult to separate the Bee from reality. They are becoming one and the same. It is now CNN that is the farce, and the Bee that reflects the real world.

It’s true.

Good catch, Aggie.
I didn’t notice that it was the BB. Those folks are doing some serious parody….it is so good that it seems like real news!
Man those folks been working overtime,,,,,trying hard to remain relevant, I listen to their music, not their bullshit opinions.

I must be a masochist, I knew what was coming but still watched the whole DAMNED thing. It’s impossible anymore to have believed, even ten years ago, that millions of Americans would start falling for these mega-tons of bullshit.
HedgeJanuary 31, 2022, 5:39 PM
Just remember it isn’t aimed at you. It’s the kids.

Never cared for them, found them mostly flavorless.
RedBeardJanuary 31, 2022, 10:33 AM
That was a sadly funny satire.
Next satire should probably be about candies and pastries with “creme filled centers,” or how “fudge is packed” in containers, and how it offends the LGBTPXYZ crowd.

You are heartless with your side remark about Joni Mitchell. I had to laugh.
She is one of my favorite musicians/singers, but I never worried about her politics, even now. I must have 10 of her CDs. I play them repeatedly. I also play a lot of Nina Simone and I hated her politics too.
I don’t pay attention to what musicians, actors–any celebrity–have to say outside of their real talent.

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

complete disclosure: I worked as a proofreader for Mars.
At long last there is a candy for the sexually depraved! M&Ms have become Pete Buttigieg’s second favorite thing to put into his mouth.
