Target is stupid

[Renauda]

Target? Is that the US retail chain giant that opened across the country with tremendous fanfare and fou-fa then closed all its stores here within two or three years because nobody would shop there?

North Face

[Copper]

North Face is stupid too

[LuFins Dad]

Wait, if it identifies as a woman and as a “real life homosexual” that means it likes people with female genitalia, no?

[LuFins Dad]

Oh, and what the hell does that have to do with backpacking? I mean, backpacking apparel is pretty similar male or female, and none of it looks like that….

[LuFins Dad]

So now you have bomb threats in Utah over the pride displays and bomb threats in Ohio because they think Target abandoned the LGBTQRSTUVWXYZ community.

North Face went lifestyle many years back anyway.

Just didn't know it was that lifestyle.

They don't really care about money, they are just here to serve man.

PREPARE THE FAINTING COUCHES! THERE'S A NUTRACKER WITH A RAINBOW ON IT!

[LuFins Dad]

And black paralyzed Santa…

[89th]

To be fair, the fact that the product was called a Gay Nutlicker was a little redundant.

Let's just hope they don't make Jesus dark-skinned. That would be a step too far.

He's the son of God. And God is reptilian.

Not so.

1. It’s Gay Nutcracker, not Gay Nutlicker
2. Even if it’s Gay Nutlicker, the licker may be licking nuts under duress and therefore not gay in the happy sense.
3. Even if it’s Gay Nutlicker, the licker may be some one other than a human male and therefore not gay in the sexual orientation sense.
4. Even if it’s Gay Nutlicker, the nut (the object of licking) may be a food, a fastener, or an ideologue (e.g., “wing nut”) and therefore the word “gay” would be needed to describe the licker’s state of mind and/or orientation.

Here's a Christmas present for people who don't want the gay nutcracker. A hetero cracker, who's also a nut!

Look up tempest in a teapot. I suspect you will find a link to the Target article.

Lord, I am tired of outrage over the trivial.

Speaking of things that nobody gives a shit about, I strongly object to the implication that Saint Patrick was Irish. The only reason he was green was from sea-sickness crossing the Irish Sea, probably from Lancashire, which is where all the best people are from.

Every freaking year.

And what about Palladius?

See you're Irish now, you need to know these things.
