Just what nobody wants, to have to have a talk with their candy. And they even lie about “we didn’t think anybody would notice”- they think we’re stupid.
It all sounds like moronic 20 and 30 something women have taken over marketing departments.
We went to see “The Temptations” play in Spokane on Sunday. It’s a history/anthology of the group. The group had lots of discussion and fights over the issue of introducing politics into their music in the late 60s and maybe early 70s at the peak of the Vietnam war. According to the play, they decided to NOT bring politics into their music. Recall that there were lots of political songs at the time, all against the war and the politicians. They turned down “War” which was picked up by Edwin Starr and became a #1 hit in 1970.
I developed new respect for the group for taking that stand. I’d develop similar respect for any company today that takes a stand against woke crap. I hate crave companies that go woke then backtrack under withering fire like Mars just did.
Kamala 2.0
The delusion that everyone wants to watch LGBT stuff needs to end.
Having worked in a MegaCorp for 40 years, what's wrong is that these companies think that they've become too insular, too blinded to the changes going on in the marketplace around them.
Outside consultants feed off of this fear and convince companies to hire them to "bring the business into the modern world." The problem is with upper-middle management, who have become disconnected with the core business as they shifted their focus upward to their next executive assignment.
Top C-level management is often aware of the changes in the marketplace as they either sit on the boards of other companies, scan the market for acquisition/divestiture opportunities, or negotiate with related suppliers and other industry consortiums all the time. They set 20-year strategic imperatives for the corporation and trust the lower levels to carry them out.
Low-level line workers know what's going on because they live in the real world every day of the week. However, they have no voice in the short-term decision-making process.
The companies that don't have decision-making processes with executive oversight and feedback loops will fall for the latest fads being sold by the consultant class. That's not to say that the C-level hasn't fallen for it, too, such as with the push in the 2000s for moving support, and then operations, to "low-cost geographies." Companies are slowly finding out that these geographies had hidden costs when looked at from the entire Porter Value Chain Model.

I had to look up who the hell Maya Rudolf was. The only movie or TV show I have ever seen her in was her bit part in “50 First Dates.” Stopped watching SNL back in the Nineties. It became boring and cliche. It has since become so political it is not worth watching. I do not consider myself out of touch, I just like to be entertained by comedians. I enjoy the “Graham Norton Show.” His shows are universally hilarious and very politically incorrect despite a liberal leaning because of its ties to the film and music industry. Woke is never funny, always preachy, boring and condescending. Go woke go broke.
they would have closed anyhow.
Not having those awful pillows had nothing to do with it.
-M&M's are children's candy. The effing groomers at Mars need to re-think their whole approach. Just like Disney - a company founded by a decent man named Walt - the 'later company' became perverts. I'm betting the Mars brothers who started the company are as disgusted with the current perverts as Walt is with the ones who took over his company. All spinning in their graves.
What happened? Did the green one get caught stealing women’s luggage from the airport?
Yup. It's why the internet replaced Sears catalogs, and why Sears didn't end up owning internet marketing. Where would Amazon be today without Sears muffing that opportunity?
I’ve loved M&Ms peanut since I was a kid. Buy a big bag of them every now and then just to be able to grab a few every now and then. I don’t recall ever seeing an M&Ms ad - at least not in the last 40 or 50 years. Glad I haven’t.
I guess you’re telling me she’s some sort of hollywood skank?
She was the leading actress "Rita", a prostitute in "Idiocracy". Can't say I really remember any of her other roles.
Hersheyettes are much better.
Maya Rudolph helped raise $6 million for Kamala Harris.
Woke companies go broke because their creepy choices are a slap in the face to 90% of Americans.
If M&M Mars and Disney only want to appeal to the 3% of ‘elites’ at the top and 2% perverts at the bottom - they should sell their companies and open businesses that sell $40,000 watches... and $10,000 shoes. Or that fill the dark web with kiddie porn.
But they need to keep their creepy filthy hands off our children.
Middle class Americans don’t need them or want them and the ‘elites’ can take their money and crawl under a Tiffany Rock..
Gillette?
Don’t hear from them
They didn’t think they had to make a political statement, rather they wanted to appease the voice from the ether with a gratuitous WOKE statement. It is a measure of the degree that the Mob has gotten into the heads of damn near everyone. The mob accomplished this with decades of constant Political Correctness that many mocked but no one dared violate.
I hate Illinois Nazis and anthropomorphic candy.
