Life in these United States. The war rages on. Men in dresses in TARGET bathrooms, now interracial families at OLD NAVY? Women in combat arms! When are we going to return to sanity? (I am being facetious --although I am sure there are plenty of members who would prefer the old times)

black and whites having babies?! unheard of. this is almost too much for my WASP heart to take. next thing we know they'll want to sit at our counters and join our public schools.

I feel like these issues have always been a problem in the past, but social media has brought things more publicly. There is almost no information that won't be shared online, however other media sources (newspapers, TV news) may choose not to report these issues.

This ad was also viewed negatively when upon release.

SrA Edward Vong - That ForHelp guy is awesome, he pretends to be customer support for the companies people are pissed at and tells the complainers off so effectively.
