Waitrose???

Anybody else get a certain email this morning about digital billboards going up today? Looks like it's Waitrose. They're not daft are they?! Ocado's loss is their gain and I'm sure this will help encourage it further. If I was richer I'd shop there.

This is a confusing thread....

But OP - you said cost cutting ideas so I can afford Waitrose?

Stick to their basics ranges and the costs are no more than Sainsburys (and in some cases lower, and the products are normally good quality). The expensive things are meat, fish and organic products, as well as premium products like very naaice cakes and ostrich eggs. They have good offers and it is worth getting a MyWaitrose card for the vouchers - not sure if they still do a free newspaper?

Yuck Juells! That is foul. Surely not posted by a woman? Surely only a man - a particularly misogynist man - could use that word to define a woman?

Dunno, the blue hair brigade could go along with it to show how cool they are.

How much would it cost to buy/hire an advertisement trailer? I'd happily drive one around.

Gncq Thank uou. The phrase itself doesn’t convey that at all, in fact rather the opposite.

WYP would have sent the cavalry straight round.

More publicity is generated when they're taken down though Wink

Well done posie Star And koko Smile

Peak trans is when you go from a "live and let live" position regarding gender ideology to realising it can be harmful. I think most people become radical feminists at that point too.

FekkoTheLawyer · 19/10/2018 16:22

I wonder who that is then?

adverto · 19/10/2018 16:21

Kong will be renting the pitch from someone - likely the landlord will have put pressure on them to take the ad down if there's been any adverse reaction.

It's typical for the ultimate landowner to have some say over the nature of ads that can be shown on the boards that are placed on their land.

Gncq · 19/10/2018 16:20

She's banned from Twitter right? So can't find any info on there, Posie's Facebook says nothing about it being taken down. (yet...?).

It's the lightbulb moment, the straw that breaks the camels back - the news item or thought that just makes you think 'WTAF???'

legofriendly · 19/10/2018 16:08

What is peak trans? I keep reading this but can’t find out. Is it for transitioning people or against? Or neither for that matter!

FekkoTheLawyer · 19/10/2018 16:04

Did Kong fold? I know there's a joke in there about king Kong and gorillas but I can't be
bothered right now!

Gncq · 19/10/2018 16:03

WHAAA A? ?

Gncq · 19/10/2018 16:02

I've emailed Kong Media.

FekkoTheLawyer · 19/10/2018 15:52

a billboard lasts a minute... But a screenshot lasts for ever.

Janie143 · 19/10/2018 15:50

Is that right! The Leeds sign is down already?

Juells · 19/10/2018 15:44

they do now

Has it been taken down as hate speech? I tried to tell my hairdresser about some of the batshit craziness, this morning, and he couldn't get his head around the definition of woman being touted as hate speech. 😆

FekkoTheLawyer · 19/10/2018 15:42

Who is this aimed at - the Inbetweeners? Yeuch.

Juells · 19/10/2018 15:41

I assume Kong know about the brouhaja?
The more the dictionary definition gets taken down the more people are peak-transed.

Just saw the attached on facebook. Why are women still trying to get other women to be trans allies? Why is the L still being used by the misogynist GBT crowd? Because they can't afford to be seen to be as the homophobic misogynists that they are?

Waitrose???
