“A magisterial collection. An emotional roller coaster. Soon to be a cult classic. 

A combination of Bukowski’s The Last Night of the Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”

 

Wow, they’re almost as good at P.R. as they are at football (How about the Jets? Nobody’s using it)

July 2020

“That’s right, Washington’s N.F.L. team will officially retire the name and logo, but did not announce a replacement. Well, if I may, how about the Jets? Nobody’s using it.” — Seth Meyers

“Yes, after decades of resisting, the Washington Redskins have finally decided to change their name. And, look, this is a step in the right direction, but it almost feels like dismantling structural racism is so difficult that instead America is just crossing off the easier items on its racism to-do list: ‘OK, next item, we’ve got to create an equal and just society. Hm, all right, let’s skip that one. Um, what about changing the name of a football team and canceling Aunt Jemima? Yeah? That should hold us over for a year.’” — Trevor Noah

“Never a great sign when your social wokeness is a month behind a pancake company.” — Stephen Colbert

“Today, the team released a statement saying that they’re working to ‘develop a new name and design approach that will enhance the standing of our proud, tradition-rich franchise,’ a commitment to progress that would’ve hit a little harder had the statement not used the team’s name seven times and included their logo. Wow, they’re almost as good at P.R. as they are at football.” — Stephen Colbert

those ads were so racist, Trump’s probably going to appoint one to attorney general (phase out the racism over time)

“PepsiCo announced today they’re changing the name and logo for Aunt Jemima, because they recognize that Aunt Jemima’s origins are based on a racial stereotype. The new name will be ‘Mrs. Jemima’s Syrup That She Has Willingly Volunteered To Share.’” —Jimmy Kimmel

“When the news broke, Trump was bummed ’cause Aunt Jemima was the only black woman in his cabinet.” —Jimmy Fallon

“Now, if you don’t understand the big deal is, Aunt Jemima, from the beginning, was a classic slave ‘mammy’ stereotype who got her name from an old blackface minstrel character. And although the company has tried to strip away most of the racist stuff over the years, people still associate Aunt Jemima with ads like this one from 1945, where Aunt Jemima is saying, ‘Lawsee! Folks sho’ whoops with joy over Aunt Jemima pancakes.’ So, yeah, those ads were so racist, Trump’s probably going to appoint one to attorney general.” —Trevor Noah

“It’s also amazing that the brand knew that Aunt Jemima was racist, and then instead of just changing it, they chose to instead slowly phase out the racism over time.” —Trevor Noah
