@victor-meldrew it's funny to me that someone thinks that it's not okay for a product just to be a product.
By all means source your resources "ethically" if that's an option but just make things that work.
Bloke in marketing agency tells bloke in Unilever that printing this sort of rubbish on a an Ice cream carton is really important
"“We believe that ice cream can change the world." “We seek in all we do, at every level of our business, to advance human rights and dignity, support social and economic justice for historically marginalised communities, and protect and restore the Earth’s natural systems.”

Fascinating little situation going over here in PC world about Jimmy Carr.
For those who have seen his Dark Material Netflix special, one of his jokes has really kicked off the warriors. Politicians are kind of fucked either way on this though, as whatever they say when questioned, they are either against free speech or pro racism against Travellers. Here is the joke:
So it's in the first 30 seconds. And that's what's gone viral. The context added in the following 90 seconds of course nobody has heard ...
FWIW, I laughed my arse off when I heard it and realised immediately it made me a bad person. But it's a joke. Carr is right though, it was educational, I never knew that before then, I do now.
Still think Boyls is far worse when it comes to crossing PC lines myself. However, he does hold Owen Jones political views though, so it seems to make it ok ...

the only thing that surprises me is this
how is this the first time the spotlight has gone on Jimmy?
I've watched all his specials, i fucking love his comedy. And every single one has a part where you can tell, from the look on his face "here's the bit where they'll come for me". He's told waaaaay edgier jokes than that.
Actually, the other bit that surprises me is they managed to find ANOTHER fucking awareness society to have a public whinge, this one about Travellers? fucking hell, why do these places exist? who the fuck funds them?

@mariner4life To be fair, you're not going to get a lot of sympathy for your cause with the British public by white-knighting travellers.

Yeah, very few people have good experiences with Travellers. I know exactly zero people who have a single positive, or even neutral, thing to say about them.

Why? Because of the people I know? Not said anything about my own correct opinions.

first line? uuummmm
second line? I don't get Twitter. I don't get why people still use it. Young people loooove to whine about their mental health, and yet cannot do the one thing that will instantly improve it, dumping that fucking program.
Now, freely admit i am coming from a position of ignorance as i do not have an account, but given all the evidence, i just don't understand why people continue to use this platform. It fucks with your mental health, hugely enhances divisions in society, and if you say the wrong thing, it will be used to fuck your life by assholes. -

People are the problem. God i fucking hate people.

Yeah, when it comes to our travelling brethren, I guess we'll just have to own that
The irony is that the travellers I've had the misfortune to meet have been some of the most racist people I've ever known. And their violent tendencies are a given. But somehow we have to overlook that because they're a minority and therefore saintly innocents.
Anyway, this is where we were always going to end up once it became accepted that words were violence
Sticks and stones may break your bones, but names are crimes against humanity.

Travellers are fucking great for subtitled call-out videos on YouTube. Followed by a bare-knuckle boxing video
you can spend hours watching them

Thanks for that... I'd seen all the headlines, but couldn't be arsed researching what it was all about.
And yeah, it was exactly as expected...- Funny
- Only offensive to people who have decided it should be
- And actually, in the wider context - contra-racist, or rather - contra... something. Fuck knows, I'm pissed - but raising awareness of the non-Jew portion of the Holocaust, which people seem to need to be reminded about.
Or something.

@tim I sometimes wonder what weird upbringing the Arquette's had to all be so mentally unstable.
Watching twitter blow up yesterday over that NPR article was amusing but also affirmed for me that broadcasters shouldn't get public money.
