Some company in Canada has Canadians apologizing to the whole world on the internet. And that’s funny, since apart from a few nasties on the front page a while back, the country has no problems.
The majority of reactions to the new summer treat hold between sarcasm and complete revulsion.
I tried to tell one apologist they’ve got no worries; “Imagine being a US citizen.”
They responded, “You’re going to give me nightmares!”
Indeed, as this exchange was taking place, another mass shooting was taking place at a 4th of July parade in Illinois. Some psycho used a rifle “like an AR-15” to snipe at people watching it or who were in it. So far 7 deaths have resulted. I don’t know how many were injured. I was too sick to read the entire story. The shooter was captured.
You see my crisis here? How can I get upset over a frozen condiment, no matter how grotesque it is (and yes, I haven’t tried one, you’re right. Do I need to in order to condemn condiments sold frozen on a tongue depressor as a treat? I don’t think so.), when guns are being used in such shootings, so many of them that one in 15 makes it to cable news?
But I can’t handle what the Republicans and the ass-rimming, money laundering lobby does. Every fucking time this happens, some idiot Republican says, “Now isn’t the time to talk about guns. We need to send thoughts and prayers to the families.”
Then it just happens again.
But Canada, if you really want to apologize for the Ketchup popsicle (and I’m still not convinced it’s not a hoax) then y’all come on down. You can take the blame for gun violence as well.
Then Republicans could stop lying about praying and get back to preying. It’s what they do best after all.
