Time to cut out our Busch Light love affair

[norcalcy]

Cancel culture strikes again. Some day people will tell outrage mobs to #$%# off. We'll be a better country when that starts to happen.

I don’t like this because he didn’t ask for this. Kid made a funny sign and people took it upon themselves to take it seriously or try to be funny themselves by sending him money. Then he did the best possible thing he could do with a situation he never asked for.

Absolutely. That's a sign of true character.

 

[Gunnerclone]

Do you mean that figuratively or literally?

 

[06_CY]

Watch out. He’s a big lurker here.

This isn't the only place...

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but why does it feel like much of what is going on is connected?

Low life hok fan tips off the Register to extend the smear campaign that started with the band incident.

Social media is now a weapon wielded by triggered little snowflakes.

That's the problem now. Everything is offensive so I'm just going to embrace it and piss em all of. Sorry kids. I will never be able to raise a million dollars for you.

True. Character is what you do when no one is watching. No one forced him to donate the money, he could have kept the whole thing.

I vote Leinenkugals. Although I cant spell their name.

I would have been on board with this until they sold out to MillerCoors

I admit I am completely naive to this but Carson said that a reporter from the DMR informed him about the post but as of now they have absolutely nothing on the story. Why would they do that? Maybe just trying to save face by not posting anything about it.

I mean, I would have kept it all.

I just feel like I need to be sure @CyTwins has seen this.

This is my question too. Something about this isn't right. No way the Register "alerts" him to this tweet then lets other media outlets beat them to the story by hours.

Well this probably isn't oood news for the new Thursday podcast. Oh well. As long as we don't find a new love affair with any Ice Beer. I can't handle that stuff.

Please tell me Tommy didn't get the prostitute pregnant.

Please tell me Tommy didn't get the prostitute pregnant.

If I was a reporter for the Register I think it would be a fair question to ask.

Somebody was digging deep into his social media and was shopping it around, and DMR was first to reach Carson for comment, I imagine.

I imagine the started down this path before realizing what an abject disaster it was and backed away to the extent possible.

 

[awd4cy]

I feel bad for Tommy Birch. I doubt you can get a decent and clean hooker from the salary he earns from the register.

 

[all2matt]

I think what Carson did was awesome as a hawk fan, definitely put a great social issue before school pride. BUT to think it was a hawk fan that ratted him out, I say slow down and think for a minute? Who would want to burn a guy getting attention for doing a good deed....... ex girlfriend. It’s way to obvious to not be a jealousy thing.

Hopefully he still receives the recognition he deserves even if he is a cyclone .


... and shame on the register for even going this route at all, let his decade old tweet just die like it was.

 

[ArgentCy]

Referencing Tosh 2.0. Probably wasn't even an original thought. When will people get their sense of humor back, along with thicker skin?

When they have real problems to worry about again.

After re-reading the KCCI article it does say "called his attention to". I imagine what a previous poster said was right. Someone from the Register learned about it and called and asked, but wasn't necessarily the one that dug it up. In any event, the Register made a decision to make it a "story" by pursuing it.
