followed closely by “I have a black friend...” 

I’m stuck in Covid Standard Time. Today is Wednesday, March 675th, 2020.

this makes me want to LOL as much as when some dicksmack aggressively defends t***p without naming him but when you call him out for being a Cult 45er they say “oh I didn’t vote for him, how DARE you assume that libtard?” LMAO the free-thinking cultists always crack me up.

Yeah, “I don’t wan to ruffle any feathers..” is about as transparent as “I’m not racist but...”

I’m sorry, but Lily Tomlin and the ghost of RBG, may she rest in peace, should be allowed to lock themselves in a room with these people and punch them repeatedly. Also, I hope Phyllis Schlafly is currently living in Hell’s Jacksonville.

Passing logic tests has never been in the GQP/conservative wheelhouse. 

The GOP knows they need women to win. They also know women like having control of their bodies.

Whelp, given that “pro-life” is a misnomer to begin with, it can’t be a suprise to ANYONE that “pro-life feminist” is also a big fat lie.

Who cares? This is honestly the direction PR should trend. The earned media they get off of this will more than pay for the car and get a lot of foot traffic into the dealership. Kid gets a car. Dealership sells more cars. Reporters get a feel-good story that gets lots of views. Everyone wins.

Perhaps they were attempting to alert his family he was no longer in possession of the mental faculties necessary to drive, in a very roundabout way?

The best advertising is the kind that looks like editorial content.

Its what you call a “win-win”. I think everyone recognizes the dual motivations.. Lets not forget the tax incentive as well. They could do 2-3 a year and come out ahead.

It’s definitely PR, but it’s one of those nice situations where PR also results in the right thing being done. This comes up in politics a lot where people complain about X politician only helping people to look good. The implied alternative is the more honest route is to... not help them? I’d rather a politician do…

Oh, let’s stop with this rose-tinted nostalgia about the good old trusting days. 

Regardless of their motivations, it’s nice to see they did the kid a solid. 

And of course, the local news will run a feature on this. People tune out most commercials but pay attention to the local features. 

...the ironically named James Steelman.

Yeah, give the PR guy a raise. This was probably cheaper than buying a TV ad and I’m sure will sway a lot more buyers to shop at their dealership instead. 

I’m sure the PR value they’ll get from this is far above what the car cost them.

I don’t know if I’m an outlier, but I’m less interested in the mystery/supernatural element (especially the latter: god help us if this goes the route of Lost) than in watching the relationships between the characters develop. The acting on this show is phenomenal.
