    anytime you alienate any of your customers, it's a bad move.  Short-term boost, but it will hurt long-term sales. 
    in what marketing world does alienating your customers give you a short term boost?

    It doesn't.
    What Nike did was alienate customers they didn't care about anyhow, and gave itself a long-term boost by ingratiating itself with the customers they do care about. As someone already stated, Nike isn't worried about losing their moronic racist American patriot-crowing white customers (which I'm going to say, on a positive note, doesn't include very many people at all in the scheme of things). Clearly.

    Yeah, like that time PJ played Bushleaguer in CO and Uniondale and then had to retire and quit touring forever...

    A bad business move would be trying to appease every customer's personal fetishes. It's not like they promoted violence and hate. 
    It's a hopeless situation...

    What would it take for you to be embarrassed about the leader of your country? If not Trump...

    They sure as hell ain't boring.  If this were the 19th century, Dylan would be Emerson and Bruce would be Thoreau.  He writes more lyrics, meaningful ones, in one song than most writers do for an entire album.  
    Well it's a good thing everyone has their own taste an opinion then. ;)  

    Can't stand the Bruce music I've heard.  Not a fan.  Now I am a fan of the guy cause he puts on a show for his fans, but it's not for me.  I'd fall asleep at his show.

    No you haven’t I shouldn’t have assumed, so you believe in the Orange Baffoon? Please show us concrete proof that Obama was not born here ? Or even better that Michelle is a transgender..

    This is a fucking joke right?  The thread just took a turn towards idiocy.
  • tbergstbergs Posts: 9,876
    I have an uncle who still believes that idiotic shit. It's unreal how stupid some people are, but he voted for Trump so what a shock. Talk about embarrassing Americans.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    The same group who thinks Michelle is a man also think gold diggers are classy ladies.

    So? Lots of people do. That’s got nothing to do with breaking stuff.
