Spreading Cheer – IOTW Report

Spreading Cheer

The McDonald’s “Warmest Greetings” cup was given a light modification on social media.

We’re all in fifth grade now.

I find this a bit of a stretch.

Huh? What?

As an artist who’s been on the receiving end (pardon?) of the scrutinization illustrations and ads receive by art directors, I look at these things with a critical eye, specifically looking for hidden unintentional offensive imagery.

I didn’t see the problem with the original cup. (If that’s what they mean by “growing up,” I don’t want to.)

Now, it’s all I see.

BUTT, who says this image is of a “guy”?

That’s projection, Sam Sykes, whoever you are. I find that charge both misogynistic and gay. It’s gaygynistic.

  1. Looks like a girl I used to know … she wore thigh boots … and … well … that’s ancient history. Antediluvian, so to speak.

    Mr. Sykes is, obviously, an Obola admirer …

    izlamo delenda est …

  2. Sam, I understand what you tried to say to me,
    How you suffered for your sanity, and how you tried to set them free. They did not listen, they did not know how.
    Perhaps they’ll listen now.

  3. people now a days are always looking for some reason to be heard about some crap they believe in- you want a cup of coffee? come back with me and my dad- boil water over a fire-pour the water into a tin cup and add the beans. Go away and leave me alone……

  4. I haven’t read the comments yet, but, yeah, that is a dudes ass. When I saw the pic, I instantly thought of the days in high school mooning people. Pants down to your knees, elbows in the air, hands on the waist bands for quick recovery to get ready to run like hell so nobody can kick you in the balls…again.
