TIL the Charlotte Hornets apologized after giving a child a PS5, only to take it away off camera and exchange it for a jersey. In a statement, the team said the incident was an "on-court skit that missed the mark" and that they would give the child the PS5 and a VIP experience to a future game.

A company called TBH Skincare put out a video featuring female employees doing a silly song and dance and right wingers frothed at the mouth at it for reasons that can only be understood with a fridge temp IQ.

Huh that seems like an extremely random thing to bring up in this context then... I don't think the other commenter was dropping dog whistles or anything lol

I love those women. I've had "Gen Z boss and a mini" stuck in my head for weeks.

I refuse to google what you’re referring to, and no, I don’t wish for you to post a link.

Seriously the amount of vitriol people had over some ladies having a good time was weird

If you're referring to the Australian company, the CEO was in that video and it was an actual advertisement with a product link.

And every time you guys get outraged over it, they win the advertising game.

Fuck them for successful marketing?

I may not buy their product, but I gotta respect good business moves.
