NRA AM: Ellen’s Faux Apology not being bought.
Apparently Ellen’s has felt some heat for her early screw up in its tickets and issued an official “The Dog Ate My Homework” apology and changed the message the bill.
Here is the link to Colin Noir’s Facebook page where the full size “apology” can be read. I am going to concentrate in one passage:
Early this morning, we began posting a message on the bottom of our receipts stating that Ellen’s intends to donate a portion of our proceeds this week toward the efforts of finding common ground and compromise in the fight to eliminate needless gun violence, especially in our schools and against our dedicated police officers.
With a limited number of characters available for that message, we simplified it to say we support “reasonable and effective gun regulations” toward that end.
What was not expected was that those two words — reasonable and effective — would be misinterpreted as our support for gun control. The mistake was an honest one. The opposite is true.
You cannot claim the “I ran out of character’s space” excuse and then add more words to the message as it only serves to confirm you are full of it. I would have had more respect if they had stick to their guns (pun intended) rather than come up with a shitty excuse.
What is the expression making the rounds? “Get woke, go broke.”
Hat Tip to last Thirdpower who should be writing this in his own blog 🙂
