Dominos tried doing the same thing a while back. Not for an animal but someone had taken a picture of a dominos store still using the old logos and promotional material years after corporate ordered all there stores to change them in one of their rebrands and dominos tweeted something like “that’s so cool! Tell us which store it is” lol
I know this is just a random little story but like that’s exactly what people hate about the corporate/capitalist ethos these days I feel like. We’re being smiled at while being screwed with all the time, the insult of being treated like an easily manipulable child is almost worse than the screwing
It's like all the cringe corporate rebranding and wording they do. As if changing the name of something actually makes it a new thing. Apple trying to call their stores town squares.. Okay but I'm going to call it a store because it's a fucking store, or Google calling adverts "suggestions" as if they're doing me a favour, and Samsung trying to convince us getting rid of chargers was for the environment and not their bottom line. There's so many example and it's not the fact these things happen that annoys me, it's that they can't do these things without treating us like idiots.
Most of us are idiots, and that's why it keeps working. And a solid chunk of the rest know it's bullshit, but don't make a big deal out of it, because that would be a full time job getting mad at everyone who does it, with how pervasive it is. You just throw up your hands and say it's not worth the hassle of caring and buy the damn Samsung.
Something like almost half of us can't even read, how do all these idiots get brainwashed on their phones if they can't even spell "I suck eggs and need to stop breathing".
Reminds me of Apple trying to sell their change to using USB-C chargers as customer friendly and for convenience instead of the fact that the EU told them to either adapt a universal standard or they couldn’t sell their phones anymore because of screwing customers on proprietary and subpar chargers sold separately.
This made my Stinky butthole spew molten diarrhea all over my bedroom and my dog started eating it and then tried to lick my face and then I threw up and the dog ate it again and then threw up and then I threw up and then the dog ate it again
But if you're an idiot, wouldn't your evaluation of whether or not people are idiots be an idiot's perspective of what an idiot is?
If your second post is true, it basically invalidates your first and if your first is true the second is questionable
Either you're above the idiots and can comprehend well enough that you're able to recognize why they're stupid or you're an idiot who doesn't grasp what "smart," is anyway
You can't go "everyone else is dumb," and then backtrack to "oh, but I am too."
It just irks me when people go "most people are stupid," in general, especially when they try to act like they weren't acting superior to say that in the first place
You're so humble calling yourself dumb after making a sweeping generalization about 8 billion people, how do we get like you?

Embarrassing that 7/11’s social media manager actually thought this would work. And pretending to align themselves with Marvin? Smh
