looooool

anyway yr story is reminding me of henry morgan, who has one of those freakishly long and detailed wikis that i got bored of reading a week ago. captain morgan rum is named after him and their recents ads have all played him out to look like jack sparrow/koolest dude, when actually he was just a privateer who pillaged caribbean islands at the behest of the british government

Well, at least they've moved on from "got a little captain in you".

i mean it's obvious mcnairy either didn't have the ability or the inclination to think this all the way through, and given his history of provocative slogans (he's made a bunch of accessories emblazoned with "fuck off" in loopy calligraphic script) he may have even wanted to blindly court a little controversy. but this product was being sold in the Gap & heavily promoted by GQ so it became very public. on the chance that anyone would defend that he was trying to 'reclaim' manifest destiny, as someone is likely to do, they're fucking stupid because it's not his to reclaim.

anyway in light of all this i've decided to stop production on my upcoming line of LEBENSRAUM t-shirts

Was that to be a plus-size clothing line? "Finally, a pair of jeans that give me room to live".

the designer is not even the only one to blame; someone from either GQ or the Gap should have spotted this and shut it down before it was even made

I sort of love this general human sentiment of "if I communicate a message in these words or terms than everyone is going to decode something that aligns EXACTLY w/ what I encoded, which is the only [or most correct] thing to decode, and if ppl decode something else--even if they are a large majority--then they, not I, must have done something wrong in this communication process"

"and I'm really, really sorry that they decoded this erroneously"

bell biv devo (Stevie D(eux)), Friday, 19 October 2012 21:43 (thirteen years ago)

the intersection of intentional fallacy & white privilege, basically?

real men have been preparing manly dishes for centuries (elmo argonaut), Saturday, 20 October 2012 04:11 (thirteen years ago)

loads of entitlement to say "i have the right to apply these words to my fashion without doing a lick of research outside my own childhood nostalgia and then blame everyone else for knowing what they mean"

"there were plenty of fights / to win the land rights / but the west was meant to be / it was manifest destiny"

What's going on with these crazy Germans?

Ernest Metalchats (Tom D.), Saturday, 20 October 2012 10:24 (thirteen years ago)

The establishment theaters in Germany don't let anyone onstage who didn't go to a German theater school, pretty much -- as a result, German actors are an insanely homogenous group that includes nearly no one who isn't German and from a German background.

Three Word Username, Saturday, 20 October 2012 15:55 (thirteen years ago)

love how the excuse in both cases is that they couldn't find an elderly black actor, like they do know young black actors but it would be just preposterous for a young actor to play an old person

I for one am shocked that Germans would do anything racist.

i was a little taken aback until i saw the £ instead of the $ and then it all kinda made sense.

charlie the luna (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Monday, 22 October 2012 18:58 (thirteen years ago)

yeah I saw the white version of that in a costume store yesterday

Force Boxman (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 22 October 2012 18:58 (thirteen years ago)

also, yes, forks, i'm pretty sure anything involving blackface is racist

ok not clicking that.

s.clover, Tuesday, 23 October 2012 01:21 (thirteen years ago)

to preemptively defend myself its just a random assortment of mundane images not unlike http://pinterest.com/source/ilxor.com/

i dont know what's weirder, racist women scrapbooking or unaware third parties repinning stuff not knowing where it eventually leads to.

sanskrit, Tuesday, 23 October 2012 02:19 (thirteen years ago)

kind of think it's google image search adds, which is one behavior you'd expect on pinterest, not everyone is just cultivating stuff from sites they know

the ilxor one is hilariously half the redhead thread (we had one, right?) and the vintage smash one

lol i was like why are there all these redhead pics...

Nhex, Tuesday, 23 October 2012 04:08 (thirteen years ago)

Yeah, kinda hard to figure out which one is ILX and which is the white power board.
