TOTD 2018-8-12: Bygone Brands

I was watching an old TV show sponsored by Benrus watches. I remember Geritol commercials too. There was some brands that went from ubiquitous to rarely heard again. How about we go to the nearby Woolworth and sit at the counter and order something from the soda fountain?

So the list so far.

  1. Benrus watches
  2. Geritol
  3. Woolworth
  4. Kress
  5. .

  7. .

  9. .

If the colors were reversed, …

this story would be on cable news 24/7. I have no idea the validity of the gang rape claim made by Willie Dille before she committed suicide but if she was from a minority from a “good” party this story would show the evil of the xenophobes. In other words, it would be a great anti-western culture story. A book then a movie would be made.

Your thoughts?

She didn’t file a report or pursue this legally. What do you think of that?

Gavin Tweets No More

Twitter banned the account of conservative commentator and CRTV host Gavin McInnes without warning earlier today, as well as the official account of the Proud Boys, a conservative-libertarian activist group McInnes founded.
A Twitter spokewoman said that the accounts had been banned for violating Twitter’s policies on “violent extremist groups.” Yet both the Proud Boys and McInnes advocate mainstream conservative and libertarian positions.

The left-leaning magazine Variety drew a link between the bans and the upcoming Unite The Right 2 rally in Washington D.C., organized by alt-right activists. Yet both McInnes and the Proud Boys have disavowed the alt-right.

Thoughts?

I don’t know Gavin so please clue me in.
