Time for a high-tech lynching of that PR firm, I guess.
For a PR firm, that’s a pretty stupid mistake.
That’s pretty incredible that they wouldn’t know that.
Now, explain this name to me, it’s a construction company (it’s real, I googled it) and it’s pretty big and it’s name is: Cuntis, Inc.
“You named your hospitality PR firm after a song about black people hanging from trees...”
Well, I guess it might matter what the company logo is, eh?
I would not have known, and I’m 58 years old, and quite well educated.
Would’ve thought it was owned by homos or they were the target market...
They probably thought it was from ‘Disraeli Gears’...oops, wrong song!
Here’s the lyrics. Very disturbing!
Southern trees bear strange fruit
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees
Pastoral scene of the gallant south
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh
Here is fruit for the crows to pluck
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop
Here is a strange and bitter crop
I'm surprised the gays weren't up in arms - of course being Austin, it could have been completely accurate!
Too bad. Strange Fruit and Austin is a match.
Change it to Darrell Wilson George Zimmerman, Inc. Racists want to lynch them too.
Liberals are the perpetually offended.
They see racism and lynchings everywhere.
No kidding.
I would have guessed that they changed it because they didn’t want to be identified as a “queer” PR firm.
how long has that company been around anyways
It’s a good description of Obama. Strange Fruit.
Everything is racist now. No matter what you say, or don’t say, Whitey is called racist.
It’s weird Austin. ‘Nuff said.
I am familiar with the Billie Holliday reference. Unless the firm is owned by Mr. Strange and Mr. Fruit, you have to explain the idea behind the name.
About a year ago I saw a billboard in Florida for Yellow Tail wine from Australia.
It showed two attractive light skinned black women drinking, with the caption across the bottom Yellow Tail.
I thought it was hilarious.
