But the alien is a more passable human.

That photo is the stuff of nightmares.

A day late, and a dollar short.

My first reaction (recorded for posterity an earlier post) was that the artist had to be a racist and should be fired, but that the people who approved his work just innocently overlooked that detail. For some here, the last part meant I’m either a racist myself or I don’t care about racism. It’s nuts. Racism is…

• VioletGatesyraspberry beret10/26/17 1:40pmI agree—i think one or 2 rogue artists did this and then no one noticed it upon review. I had to stare at this picture for awhile before I got it, and honestly the color change isn’t super significant so I think if you were reviewing this, it would be easy to simply not see…

How dare you try to insert a rational argument into this discussion!

You really shouldn’t start arguments with people if this is all you’ve got to work with.

You have an inability to reply to the substance of an argument, and instead respond with misdirection and ridicule. Just like Trump. No surprise. Mindless ideologues on both sides are the reason he was elected.

Yes. I know a company that sent marketing brochures to Saudia Arabia that drawing of a woman sipping a glass of wine on the cover.

What are you on about? Or do you have me confused with another poster?

You are deliberately misrepresenting what I said. I am talking about the artist being an individual, and I never claimed to know how many signed off on it. His boss, a MarComm VP, someone in document control, etc etc. Who knows, who cares. I expect that many people looked at the artwork before it ended up on the…

How do you know it wasn’t a single artist? I don’t believe that an entire team would have gone along with this stupid pointless racist crap without realizing they’d all get canned when their little “joke” was spotted. Companies do evil things but it is cynical and simplistic to think that all companies are just…

That makes sense, unfortunately.

I have to admit that my imagined scenario came from an incident at a company I worked for for many years. A manager got in an argument with the CEO in a meeting. The CEO sent him directly out of the meeting room and into a cab. He then had the guy’s personal stuff boxed up and called a 2nd cab to take that stuff to…

By “taken to task” I hope you mean fired. Called into HR and then escorted out of the building immediately. (Maybe a Kellogg’s janitor would like to help escort him.) Then his stuff from his desk tossed in a cardboard box and mailed to his sad apartment.

I’d like to see a second message from Kellogg’s saying that the MAGA dipshit responsible is “no longer employed”. This was no accident.

Emerson collective, his new fiancial backer, didn’t mess around when they were informed of his behavior, they just cut him loose. Emerson Collective happens to be a woman-owned company. Good.

Maybe the woman fought harder than your father did. Maybe she chose smarter lawyers than your father did. Maybe your lawyers are trying to blame the woman for your own failure to get the settlement you wanted.

Yes. Liquids can actually heated above their boiling point, making the very dangerous for burns. If you’ve ever heated a cup of coffee or other liquid in the microwave, taken it out before it started boiling, only to have it suddenly boil over when you set it down or stirred in a spoon of sugar, that’s superheating.…

Yes, and it was more than boiling temp (100 deg c) it was superheated (over 100 deg c).
