    I don't know about you, but when I think of colors associated with Halloween, I think of black and orange, moreso black. Black is spooky. Halloween is supposed to be about creepy, scary, spooky things... and candy of course.

    So what to make of this?

    Well, these pumpkins look absolutely nothing like anything related to blackface. So... either the 'woke folk' are on par with spineless little petulant children, or somebody has realized how easy it is to troll corporations with accusations of racism. I guess a third possibility is that Justin Trudeau ordered a bunch and someone caught wind of it.

    Anyhow, looking forward to costume outrage and then later some anti-American Turkey Day propaganda... followed by Christmas Day Christian bashing. Happy Holidays folks.

    Somebody complained?

    That person is the problem in this country. That person's ideology is what's driving a wedge in this country. That person... they are truly stupid.

    We need to stop bowing to these individuals. So afraid of backlash, these actions are giving these morons a power trip.

    I am absolutely convinced we have worthless people who sit around looking for something to be outraged over.

    Oh, BTW, I hear the Asians are really upset with this:

    Now if someone put that on the front of Thomas the Train, I might understand.

    That's it. These trolls and neurotic crybabies only have the power that we grant them as a society.

    It's a game of poker.

    Bed bath and beyond knows that everybody else will roll their eyes, move along, and stop in on Saturday for some new towels.

    Failing to back down though would get all the morons to conduct a national boycott.

    So.. just take them off shells and move along.

    Remember this video? Yep, the one where someone got offended because you had a reference to a "Black Hole".

    I'm thinking the same guy visited Bed, Bath, and Beyond.

    I remember that, I also remember words that didn't have a thing to do with race or racism being banned because ignorant people and their manipulators didn't like it.

    In America, we say the squeaky wheel gets the grease. In Eastern cultures they say the nail that pops up, gets pounded down...

    Yeah, and the term black sheep and any reference to the Black Sox are racist because they put negativity on the word black. And if anyone ever punches you in the face, and I’m serious about this, don’t tell anyone you have a black eye or a shiner or trouble will head your way.

    Just imagine what an NBA team photo would look like without a black face.

    It’s a joke, take my wife....

    Someone keeps turning up the thermostat on what is offensive. I am starting a group: People Opposed to Offended People. (P.O.O.P.)

    The more corporations cave to the idiots the more insane society gets. We used to simply refer to these people as crazy. Now calling someone crazy is offensive. Our country has lost its balls and with it we’re losing our freedoms.

    Remember when simple innocent yellow cartoony emojis were enough? Some IDIOTS complained so we got brown ones too. And with the brown ones we got white ones and pink ones. ****ing lunacy.

    That is absolutely true. That's why China will rise as we fall.
