U.S. — Times change, and we must change with them. That was the philosophy that prompted us to update our company logo to remove anything that could be construed as appealing or exciting.

As everyone knows, bees are notoriously racist and non-inclusive insects, which presented a problematic branding situation. This made it necessary to create a new, fresh logo that would convey just the right amount of blandness and banality to help the company remain competitive in today's marketplace.

"It was time for a change," said CEO Seth Dillon in a press release announcing the new logo. "While we chose to retain the ‘Bee' name, we knew it was time to ditch the logo depicting a stylized bee insect to avoid offending anyone. Some people are allergic to bees. We don't want to be closely associated with insects that cause so much pain and suffering to so many people. So, we made our new logo as inclusive and nondescript as possible. We also got a great deal on it because the graphic designer who came up with it had absolutely no experience."

The team here at The Babylon Bee looks forward to a bright future under the new logo branding — a future with as little buzz as possible. That was a bee-related joke.

Hope it goes over better than the Cracker Barrel change.

Target stores also made their bullseye logo ugly and boring and made their stores ugly and boring and woke. Go woke go broke.

However, stock price plunges tend to get their attention.

You'd never know that looking at Disney's 5-year chart.

Disney is big enough to weather the storm for decades. Cracker Barrel is a small enterprise with a small customer base. Piss off 10% of your loyal customers and you have put one foot in the grave.

Put a fork in them. They’re done.

The Cracker Barrel logo should show a white guy (a cracker) sitting atop a barrel over the words “Crapper Barrel” to comply with truth in advertising mandates.

Disney took their biggest hit in 2022, dropping to $88 per share at year end, vs. $158 at the beginning of that year. (Today's price is $116/share, with a 2025 low of $82 in early April, probably reflecting customer reaction to the Snow White remake.) Vanguard, BlackRock, and State Street own 8.6%, 7.2%, and 4.3%, respectively, of Disney common stock and are the three largest shareholders. These firms are leftist in orientation and may look at Disney as a loss leader for their goal of reshaping the world to globalist ends. Disney has stepped back a little bit from the cultural Marxist agenda but will revert to it when the opportunity arises. The entertainment and legacy media business lines have cut several entertainers and news anchors in the last couple of months but their audiences have shrunk to an unprofitable levels. Big Pharma keeps the legacy media funded but they recognize that when fewer eyeballs are watching their plugs for the latest drug, there is no reason to continue to pay them.

Think they’re serious?

I don’t.

Expect the buzz-buzz-buzz to return.

Was it some old fisherman that said ‘the fish rots from the head’?
