It should be pulled if only Blacks are allowed to read it backwards?
That’s actually pretty good! :0)
Public transportation is classist AND probably racist.
Let's ban buses and give everybody a new Mers...a new Mursad...new Mersadi..give everybody a new Ford!
Now, please tell me how to stop laughing.
You must first channel your white privilege guilt above all else.
The slurs on the bus
Go round and round,
Round and round,
Round and round...
“a driver complained after seeing the slogan on a bus in her rearview mirror. She says it spells out a racial slur when read backwards.”
zig gin zag gin I thought it was a gin commercial.
I’m not white enough to do that.
But you can empathize can’t you? It’s not about facts and specifics or set rules. It’s about feelings :0)
CAR is easier to spill/spell/say
Besides that, if you ban all public transportation, how the baby mommas gonna git all the ways to South Hills Village Mall where it be safe to shop/shoplift and s**t?
We going back to playing phonograph records backwards?
So the “n” word has two of the letter “q” and two of the letter “i” and a “z”? Who knew?
We all got a new car!
Thanks, glad it’s not just me. lol
I remember that.
Everyone in the audience got a Pontiac G6 IIRC.
The company paid the expense, Oprah didn’t lay out a dime.
She got the credit though.
Many recipients weren’t so happy when they found out they were responsible for taxes, shipping, doc stamps, etc.
This reminds me of what happens when dogma takes over common sense:
“Ella Minnow Pea” is a 2001 novel by Mark Dunn. The full title of the hardcover version is Ella Minnow Pea: a progressively lipogrammatic epistolary fable, while the paperback version is titled Ella Minnow Pea: A Novel in Letters.
Plot summary
The plot is conveyed through mail or notes sent between various characters, though with the banned letters missing, creating passages that become more and more phonetically or creatively spelled, and requiring more effort to interpret.
The novel is set on the fictitious island of Nollop, off the coast of South Carolina, which is home to Nevin Nollop, the supposed creator of the well-known pangram “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.” This sentence is preserved on a memorial statue to its creator on the island and is taken very seriously by the government of the island. Throughout the book, tiles containing the letters fall from the inscription beneath the statue, and as each one does, the island’s government bans the contained letter’s use from written or spoken communication. A penalty system is enforced for using the forbidden characters, with public censure for a first offense, lashing or stocks (violator’s choice) upon a second offense and banishment from the island nation upon the third. By the end of the novel, most of the island’s inhabitants have either been banished or have left of their own accord.
