Could it be a "CONTRIVED PANIC" in order to Attract Attention to M&M Candy?
Yes... Because, Now they are Back! and they got Millions of Dollars worth of Free Advertising!
We Have Seen this Marketing Before!
I Believe the Entire Dr. Seuss "Censorship" Was a MARKETING CAMPAIGN by the Family. "We'll Sell a LOT of Books if We Cull the Unpopular Ones and Turn That Action Into a QuackAnon "CAUSE." The Republicans Will Talk About Dr. Seuss on TV and We'll Get Free Publicity...

and Then on Facebook, SE Said:
My issue with the whole cancel culture thing is the fact that people always want to point the blame at liberals even though liberals aren't the ones making those decisions. I get really sick and tired of liberals being blamed for everything. Liberals didn't decide to stop publication of 6 Dr. Seuss books. The Dr. Seuss estate made that decision entirely on their own. But everyone is screaming at "the liberals" instead. Why? If you're so upset about those 6 Dr. Seuss books, why not direct your anger at the Dr. Seuss estate, since they made the decision to stop publishing those 6 books? Instead, I hear "The LIBERALS have CANCELED Dr. Seuss!" usually accompanied by a photo of Green Eggs and Ham or the Cat in the Hat, which are both still being published and have not been "canceled." Same thing with Mr. Potatohead. The Hasbro toy company made a decision - entirely on their own - to change the name of Mr. Potatohead. But sure, let's all turn our anger at "the liberals," who had nothing to do with Hasbro's decision to change the name of one of their toys. And Pepe Le Pew - nobody was even thinking about those old cartoons anymore, but sure, blame half the population for "canceling" those cartoons after Warner Brothers decided ON THEIR OWN that they're not going to show them anymore. I wonder what people would have said if it hadn't been mentioned in the news that those 6 Dr. Seuss books contained racist imagery. What if the story had simply said, "The Dr. Seuss estate has decided to stop publication of 6 lesser-known Seuss books for financial reasons"? I bet there would be no screaming at "the left" for "canceling" Dr. Seuss if that had been the way the story was presented. But because it was mentioned that those 6 books contained racist imagery, the right jumped on the bandwagon and started spreading lies that "the left" has demanded that all of Dr. Seuss's books be pulled from shelves, and it simply isn't true! None of it! But if the racist imagery had never been mentioned, I bet the right would not have even noticed that 6 lesser-known Seuss books are no longer being published.
Why are people so determined to blame the liberals for things which liberals had nothing to do with? I get that people absolutely DESPISE liberals and want to make the rest of the world view liberals as bad people. But come on. When private companies make a decision to change the marketing of a toy or to stop showing an 80-year-old cartoon, it's ridiculous to try to place the blame on people who had absolutely nothing to do with those decisions. If you're so upset about Pepe Le Pew, contact Warner Brothers! March around in front of their corporate offices with signs! Same with Mr. Potatohead. Why not stage a demonstration in front of Hasbro's corporate offices instead of turning your anger at "the liberals" who had no part in Hasbro's decision? But blaming half the population for something which they had nothing to do with is pointless. All it does is further divide us as a country. Why does the right want to blame the left for everything? Turn your anger at the people who made those decisions! Stop being angry at the wrong people!
AO: I love it when you post breakdowns of stuff!
Honestly I think it’s because people find it easier to use buzzwords and sum it up with some succinct conclusion, a direction to point the blame, more like a performance display to showcase what ‘side they’re on’ (despite there often not actually even being sides) or ammo towards a group of people they think they’re angry at/want to be angry at
SE: That makes sense, but it's just so frustrating. I hate feeling like I'm being blamed for things I had nothing to do with. I really wish they hadn't mentioned the racist imagery when they reported on the fact that those 6 Seuss books were not going to be published anymore. I would bet money that if they hadn't mentioned the racist imagery, nobody would give a flying f**k about those 6 Seuss books because they're not well-known books to begin with. It wouldn't even have made the news if they hadn't mentioned the racist imagery in those 6 books. But since they DID mention it, it MUST be the fault of "the left." It's just infuriating!
KD: Have you heard your president speak about uh you know the thing? The man is a blithering idiot. God help this country. He’s a puppet. That thing you call a Vice President is calling the shots not Joe. It astonishes me that people hate trump so bad they would rather destroy this country. If our founding fathers could see what this country has become they’d puke.
SE: That's a different subject from this post, but you are entitled to your opinion. You and I have a long history, and I still remember some of our crazy times in Hollywood, and I consider you to be a very dear friend. That's not going to change just because we have differing political opinions. I hope you know that.
KD: I do know that and I always wish you well my friend?
MMS: Extremists on both sides are getting lumped in with the rest of each party. Need to differentiate between Reps/Dems and Extremists.
CF: My understanding is that the right believes those companies are bowing to pressure to erase or alter history and memories or else be ostracized, stalked, fired, labeled racist, etc. That they do so only because they feel threatened to comply. That's what is meant by "cancel culture". As in, yes, they made a "choice", but only because they had a gun to their head.
SE: I understand that that's what they believe, but that doesn't make it true. Those companies weren't bowing to any pressure. Nobody was even talking about Mr. Potatohead or Pepe Le Pew. There was no pressure from "the left" to make those changes. The companies made the decision to make those changes, and "the left" is getting the blame. That's what I have a problem with.
RK: The right (media and elected officials) know that’s not true. It’s just their way of stirring up culture wars and screaming cancel culture just like they scream war on Christmas
SE: Exactly. I swear, the right WANTS the country to be divided. That's why they make up these ridiculous things to be upset about.
RK: it’s because they’ve decided it’s a war. On whom or what I don’t know. And it’s sad. I was stunned to read some congressional offices are staffed with just communications teams meant to get their person in public view. Not analysts, not policy people, not constituent services. Yikes!
CF: In a two-party system, politicians benefit from their constituents seeing the others as the enemy. There's a ton of "othering" in our country as a result, most of it senseless. And people believe what they hear and are told rather than thinking for themselves or listening to more than one angle.
SE: That's true, and it's so frustrating. I just wish people would pay attention to the facts. I keep going back to the Dr. Seuss thing because it's a good example. The FACTS are that the decision was made by the Seuss estate, and it's only 6 books which are mostly unknown. But the right keeps spreading the lie that it was the LEFT who made the decision, and ALL Seuss books are being BANNED, and it's simply not true. I hate when people spread blatant lies designed to make the 'other side' look bad.
AI: There have been some very interesting studies done on patterns of thought, fear, and its effect on voting. When we amp up "threats", either real or perceived, people tend to stop analyzing information and thinking critically. They also tend to vote more conservatively.
The "fear" is the point. The regressives have to manufacture wedge issues in order to remain in power. "Cancel culture" is just their latest wedge issue.
HEADLINE: Dr Seuss: Six books withdrawn over 'hurtful and wrong' imagery...
Six Dr Seuss books will no longer be published because of racially insensitive imagery, the company that preserves the author's legacy has said. Among the six children's titles being withdrawn are If I Ran the Zoo, Scrambled Eggs Super, McElligot's Pool and On Beyond Zebra! "These books portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong," Dr Seuss Enterprises said in a statement .
It said the decision was made after consulting experts and teachers. "Ceasing sales of these books is only part of our commitment and our broader plan to ensure Dr Seuss Enterprises' catalogue represents and supports all communities and families," it added. The other books affected are And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street and The Cat's Quizzer.
The announcement was timed to coincide with the anniversary of late American author and illustrator's birthday.
and Then on Facebook I Read:
Listen up Buttercups! As someone who actually grew up watching PePe LePew (and all those “BAD” Saturday morning cartoons), I never saw Pepe as a rapist or promoting rapist culture. HELL I didn’t even know what a rapist was. I WAS A CHILD!
Let me impart my CHILDHOOD thoughts:
The only reason I ever thought the cat tried to get away from Pepe was because she was in fact, A CAT and he was a SKUNK. (For those of you who are biologically/scientifically challenged... Skunks and Cats ARE completely different animals.) Skunks also smelled... bad.
I distinctly remember watching and thinking:
If Pepe catches up with her, she’s going to need a bath.
That’s it.
DEAR CANCEL CULTURE:
STOP READING MORE INTO OUR CHILDHOOD CARTOONS, BREAKFAST FOOD ICONS, VEHICLE NAMES, and everything else. No one became a rapist, racist, murderer, animal abuser, or dropper of anvils from watching our vintage Saturday morning cartoons while eating Aunt Jemima pancakes. You are, IN FACT, idiots, looking for attention due to the lack of parental fortitude in YOUR own lives.
You are walking, talking, “grown” infants. Screaming when you don’t get your way resulting in showing the world how truly absurd you are.
How about WE THE PEOPLE cancel YOU because WE are offended by your feckless, pansy ass, stupidity!
If you agree Copy & Paste
SC Responded: I agree, although cartoons can influence kids don't think this one did any damage. Now the cartoons that showed when a policeman stopped a car and took the driver to jail - well that had my Dad miss getting a ticket as I would not stop crying - LOL!
DT Said: oh wow you should share that story with the PD. Stories like that really help their much-needed image improvement.
~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~
SE SAID: I was just thinking: the people who believe that those 6 Dr. Seuss books are no longer being published because of "the liberals" and their evil "cancel culture" are the same people who believe that they are somehow forbidden from saying "Merry Christmas" even though every year, people try to explain that nobody EVER told ANYONE that they couldn't say "Merry Christmas," but a lot of people choose to say "Happy Holidays" instead because it's more inclusive, but you are still welcome to say "Merry Christmas" if that's what you'd rather say...but a certain segment of society believes that they're FORBIDDEN from EVER uttering the words "Merry Christmas," and they believe it's because the EVIL LIBERALS have CANCELLED Christmas, just like the EVIL LIBERALS have CANCELLED Dr. Seuss. But in reality, neither of these things is true. Dr. Seuss hasn't gone anywhere. Only 6 of his lesser-known books are no longer being published, and this was a decision by his ESTATE, not THE EVIL LIBERALS. And the choice to say Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays is your own personal choice to make. No one ever FORBADE anyone from saying one or the other. These people are also the same people who feel that they're being FORCED to comply with health guidelines during the pandemic rather than simply being ASKED to comply. It's baffling to me why so many people believe they're being forced and controlled, and it's even more baffling why they always want to blame the liberals for this so-called "control" that they feel they're under. It must be rough feeling like others are trying to control you. I can't imagine what that's like. I honestly don't understand how we can all be living in the same world, and yet some of us know that we have the freedom to say Merry Christmas, and we know we can go to any library and have access to the entire Dr. Seuss collection except maybe those 6 books which are no longer being published, and we know that it wasn't one of the two political parties who made the decision to stop publishing them, it was Dr. Seuss's estate, and we know that we were never ORDERED to follow health guidelines, we were ASKED to do something simple in order to keep our loved ones and our neighbors healthy during a pandemic. I will never understand how anyone can see any of these things as "control" or "force." It must be rough feeling like you're being controlled when you're not.
VK Repiied:
I think the only places that really enforce what holiday greetings you give customers are when working retail. I remember being told to only say Happy Holidays but yeah otherwise people can say what they want.
SK: When I was at JC Penney, we were never told to say anything particular during the holidays. I usually said "Merry Christmas." I've never been told not to say it, and I've never known anyone who was ever told not to say it.
VK: Yeah, I think it was Safeway in particular that had the no Merry Christmas thing. They were anal about a lot of different things though like having to be clean shaven, no tattoos showing etc
SE: It sounds like it was Safeway's decision to tell their employees not to say it, not something being "forced" by the "evil liberals." LOL
VK: Yeah, I definitely don't think it was anything political with them because "evil liberals" would allow employees to express themselves with beards and tattoos like WF. LOL
AC Said: These are the same people who go to church where they get told what to do every weekend.
I have been asked by employers not to say Merry Christmas at work and had people go full-blown Karen on my because of it.
There are also the same fuckers who have no trouble telling a woman what to do with her body.
SE: Oh yeah, they're total hypocrites. They love control when they get to control women, but any time someone simply ASKS them to do something nice like put on a mask, they lose their minds and say that they're being controlled. You can say no! You're a jerk if you do, but you do have that freedom. Nobody is controlling anybody....but if they had their way, they would have total control over women's bodies.
PC Said: I've just read a review of "Beyond Bad" by Chris Paley. It covers the subject of morals... Are they absolute? Fluid?.. What? ... I'm looking forward to reading the book, because from what I've gathered from the reviews, it could be pretty liberating.
JA Said: I'm waiting for them to scream "Irish cancel culture!" when McDonald's pulls the Shamrock Shakes from their menus, even though they've always been seasonal... but that's just the way things work now.
SE Replied: I still need to get my annual Shamrock Shake. I was thinking of making one, but I'd end up spending more on the ingredients than I'd spend on a shake. But I think I only have until the end of the month before it goes away.

and then on FaceBorg Beth L Jones Said:
"To All Concerned,
I do not support FOX News at all. I’m offended by the constant lies and demagoguery they pump out on a daily basis. FOX News has been the main driver of disinformation and misinformation in America as it relates to the 2020 election and Donald Trump’s Big Lie; to the ongoing pandemic; the deterioration of political civility; and a sharp rise in anti-democratic/anti-democracy, nationalism and authoritarianism. Yet they’ve never been held accountable.
In the post-Trump era, they’re seemingly thriving. We need to look no further than seeing Fox News's Tucker Carlson and his praise of Vladimir Putin and his war in Ukraine or the jarring contrast between giving credence to Donald Trump’s antics after the 2020 election and privately calling them lies.
Clearly those who want to watch it can, that’s their prerogative, but I don’t want to pay for it. Can those of us who see what FOX has been doing come together and through a threat to cancel our cable subscriptions demand that they stop including FOX in all basic cable options when they renegotiate their contracts, in order to opt for another source of access to the networks we want to support.
Why is this important?
My concerns aren't that FOX is conservative, but that FOX “News” is not news at all! It's an entertainment channel that seeks to do nothing but spread inaccurate propaganda. Court documents show that in 2020, FOX’s top brass knew that the election deniers they put on the air were peddling lies and were not credible, but they put them on anyway.
Please help me do my part to try and stop this insidious organization from continuing to rip our country apart.I DO NOT wish to directly or inadvertently support anything that's this destructive to our civil society. I have children who deserve to live in a country where truth and justice still mean something. Please help me spread the word and see if we can make something powerful happen this year in 2022!"
