PepsiCo Beaten Women Are Funny
PepsiCo Beaten Women Are Funny — PepsiCo contracted rapper Tyler, The Creator, to make a commercial for Mountain Dew.
Oh boy, did he. It featured a white woman with bruises on her face, a brace around her neck and leaning on a crutch trying to pick her assailant from a police lineup that featured young black men dressed as thugs and a goat. The goat mouths gangster-type threats at her and the ad ends with her fleeing from the room while a detective sips on a Mountain Dew.
PepsiCo pulled the ad and scrubbed it from YouTube as some strangely found it offensive.
It is offensive.
Drink Coke. Heck, drink Sam’s Club or some other store brand. It beats supporting this garbage.

He should do what he always does: declare it a small business and tax it out of existence.It will be gone in a minute. Be gone in a minute! One month! Be out of there!

Corbett The Wimp Bleeding In Water
Corbett The Wimp Bleeding In Water— The leftists who run the old media smell blood and are bolting in to rip chunks from Tom Corbett’s thrashing body as he flounders in the waters of next year’s gubernatorial race.
The Delaware County Daily Times used the entire front page of their tabloid the other day to boast how former Congressman Joe Sestak would crush the hapless Republican incumbent if the election was now.
Today’s The Philadelphia Inquirer front carries the headline “Corbett again sees fault among jobless” mocking him for his comment regarding the state’s high unemployment, which was “. . .there are many employers that say, ‘We’re looking for people but we
can’t find anybody that has passed a drug test,’ a lot of them. And that’s a concern for me because we’re having a serious
problem with that.”
If Corbett could push through a law ending automatic deductions of union dues from paychecks — which, btw, would be a effective tool in creating jobs — or repealing the law allowing for the hateful teacher strikes, we could get behind him and actually see him having a chance.
But it appears he can’t even get the liquor stores privatized despite the Republicans controlling everything in Harrisburg, and the plan being popular among the residents of the state.
Go Castor.
