Title: Fighting hate in the checkout line. Bouncy

Fighting hate in the checkout line


Buying groceries at Albertson's a few days ago, I noticed someone had turned around the Enquirer in a checkout line magazine rack. Thought that was a pretty good idea, since the rag featured a hateful looking trump and an assortment of false accusations, so I turned around the one in my line. Can't stand that face anyway.
Then I found out on another discussion site that a lot of people object to this hateporn. Some people have spoken to store managers, one person was putting "this is fake news" post-its on the mags; exercising freedom of speech and not damaging property.
So maybe in addition to the other things we can do, how about some "quiet resistance"? Here are some ideas:
1. If you're bold enough, talk to the store manager, object to hateporn, object to this being displayed where children can see it.
2. Just turn the mags around.
3. Want to be more subtle? Pick it up, pretend to leaf through it, put it back backwards. Or leaf through another mag and put it back in front of the hateporn.

Don't do anything that would make more work for underpaid store employees, like hiding mags throughout the store, spilling chocolate syrup on them, etc. If anyone objects to your actions, I like the reasoning of keeping it out of the view of children.

And even if these things don't make a difference, we've done something and don't have to look at trump's smirking puss.

This story has it all! Hate porn, smirking puss, and underpaid employees. What no cheering crowds in line?

Pervs willfully going into any public restroom they choose = GOOD!

President-Elect Trump on a magazine cover = BAD!

THIS is a perfect example of why no one should take any of their ideology seriously

This weak attempt at a bouncy sounds very familiar. Hasn't this one made the rounds before?

The Dummy denies wanting to cause employees more work, and right before that denial suggests activities that will cause employees more work - in his suggestions 2 and 3. Somebody is going to have to straighten those magazine racks.

Do they not read what they type?

11. I like that.

Turning it around is a good idea.

However, I can never forget that it was the NE that finally caught our good friend John Edwards. Sigh.

20 years ago MSM outlets like the NYT, Miami Herald, and WashPost still sometimes did the serious journalistic work, like vetting candidates like Gary Hart. Now they leave it to scandal-sheets like the NE if the subject is a Prog.

It is one of the more common ones.
There is a "conservative area" at a bookstore or library that they have to defeat as well.

Here is a similar.

Book stores, gas stations, doctors offices, grocery checkout lines are the tired old common setting.  Car dealerships are where the truly good ones occur, right Doug Bulna?

All the countless covers the Obama's were on; People, Vogue, InTouch, etc.,  I never felt the need to **** with them.  So childish.  If someone wants to buy a copy, that's their business, and it's good for business.  I didn't put stickers on them, I didn't draw mustaches on Michelle, and I didn't hide them amongst the shelf of douches.

It would be redundant anyway...

Then that is her own 5 o'clock shadow?

I was thinking the exact same thing.   :cheersmate:

As for the magazines, books, etc... this is akin to plugging a leaking air craft carrier with some kleenex.

A lot of you have poked fun at Michelle through the years. Honestly, with the exception of her not respecting America while blowing tons of our money on all of those vacations, I never really had much of a problem with her until just recently. Han Solo was always one of my favorite characters and I really believe she could have done more to help him in that last movie. The whole thing really changed my opinion of her.
