Put the old man back in, but add another man standing behind him with his hand on the first dude’s shoulder. They’ll flip their shit even harder.
I wish these people cared as much about the president being a pedophile as they do about this mid-ass restaurant changing its logo.
They need these distractions, otherwise they start to actually think. Their leaders can’t have that happening.
So it’s a good thing CB is changing back
I mean, this was obviously a manufactured distraction. something the conservative media riled up their knuckle dragging viewers to be upset about so they don’t have up talk about Epstein files or the fascist takeover of government by the Republican party. They’ll find another shiny thing for their base to jerk off to every week if that’s what it takes to fill air time to avoid the absolute train wreck shit show that is America right now.
If it encourages them to eat there, is it really such a bad thing, I mean t a diet heavy in the types of food Cracker Barrel sells can’t be good for you and republicans hate healthcare. Seems like it might be a self-solving problem.
They hate healthcare until they need it. Then they have a sob story and create a GoFundMe.
I think I’ve eaten at a cracker barrel twice, both times were on a roadtrip and it was the most established place off an interstate exit, so purely convenience. I haven’t the first clue what they even offer, I just assume it’s all chicken fried and covered with gravy.
That there are people out there absolutely losing their mind over the logo change is one of the most confusing things I’ve ever seen. Who. Fucking. Cares? Goddamn, the group that likes to call everyone else a snowflake, sure is the most infantile people on earth.
That said, I’ll avoid cracker barrel from here on. I really don’t want to be near the sort of people who frequent that establishment. Kudos to them for so proudly self-identifying…
All I know about Cracker Barrel is the company’s history of racism, like this from 2004:
More than 40 plaintiffs in 16 states alleged black people were denied service, assigned to segregated seating, subjected to racial slurs and served food taken from the trash. Also, about a dozen employees complained that blacks were segregated from white workers and generally received “back of the house” assignments such as cook and dishwasher.
If I’d given it any thought, I might have assumed the company’s shittiness was in the past, but this right-wing uproar over re-designed branding, with the frickin’ President of the United States demanding they switch back to the old logo, and the company’s quick acquiescence, convinces me Cracker Barrel is a restaurant for fascists.
Goddamnit stop teaching conservative snowflakes that their annoying, incessant whining works sometimes!
I mean, its cracker barrel. That’s their entire customer base.
Isn’t there a single entity with a spine in America?
Its not even political at all. It was just dumb corporate blandness that defeats the purpose of the restsurant’s image. Conservatives made it political because their CEO happens to be a woman.
McDonald’s and taco bells used to look so cool, now everything is corporate and bland and sterile. Chain Restaurants all look the same now
What happened to McDonald’s? Apart from maybe a slight font change, it’s the exact same thing from 70 years ago.
Also, Burger King is an example of ditching a trendy look and going back to an older, more timeless logo.
I think they’re talking about the restaurants themselves. McDonald’s used to have some wild interiors!
They’re referring to changes like this:
Have you ever been in a McDonald’s in the past 50 years?
57-69 was a dark time.
I’m pretty sure conservative media made it political to rile up their base and distract from anything important; ditto the Sydney Sweeny fuckaround
Step 1: Get a terrible rebranding done
Step 2: Wag the dog with fake/paid outrage
Step 3: Reverse the decision letting people think they’ve won
Step 4: Profit
It’s New Coke all over again.
honestly I thought it was this too
The new logo is pretty terrible. I bet they paid a lot to some consulting company for it and when they saw how bad it was they wanted to at least try to get some benefit from it.
It’s literally simple. It’s just boring not bad
It’s just boring not bad
This has been the theme of every area of design since 2015. Cars, buildings, logos, websites, interior design; everything is not necessarily bad but really boring.
Step 2: Wag the dog with fake/paid outrage
I see conspiracy theories everywhere
And everybody forgot about the Epstein files and we all lived happily ever after the end.
bro please talk about brands bro please
I said it in the last thread and I’ll say it again here: I do not give a single flying fuck about any political motivation behind the changing nor changing back of the Cracker Barrel logo, either real or simply perceived, but their new logo was objectively terrible. It was so bland and unmemorable that whoever designed it should have their Macbook confiscated and be catapulted into the ocean. That is, the both of them. But preferably one each into different oceans. I don’t know how much that braindead rebrand cost them in consultancy fees but I hope they can ask for a refund.
bland and unmemorable
This is why it was great. It perfectly encapsulated both their food and store. It was an ideal logo for them.
None of them actually care they just want to distract from Epstein.
Cracker Barrel is on team TACO. I’m bigly surprised…
No one even mentions the historical reference to the term “cracker” in America.
Republicans are sensitive snowflakes
Conservatives are calling this a win? Really???
Cracker Barrel: Changes logo.
Me: Didn’t even know this happened months ago. Thats how little I care.
Conservatives: WE WILL FIGHT FOR A FICTIONAL OLD WHITE MAN’S RIGHT TO EXIST IN A LOGO!!!
Me: Still doesn’t give a shit.
Cracker Barrel: Changes logo back.
Me: Still doesn’t give a shit.
Conservatives: WE WON!!!
Me: STILL doesn’t give a shit. You’re the winner of a game that no one wants to play.
When you own all three branches of the government, have deported thousands of innocent, disenfranchised people, and you’ve got civil liberties and democracy on the ropes, but your whole shtick is grievance and vengeance, you get nonsense like this. They need more to things to get mad at to feed the monkey on their back.
They will always find another bag of Rage Heroin somewhere. Fox can always manufacture more.
They are the winners of a game YOU don’t want to play. And they don’t give a shit about you.
You went from “I don’t” to “no one wants” in a most logically crazy way.
Conservatives are fucking dumb
EDIT: this stinks of Fox News outrage. Goes to show how their viewers are so easily led.
I have moments where I think I’m surprised that something stupid matters to people, then I remember how stupid some people are. Thank goodness conservatives are such active participants in the things that matter most
how stupid
There’s that, and there is also a massive ecosystem of griftfluencers endlessly manufacturing outrage and pumping it straight into millions of anger addicts, every hour of every day, from Fox News at the top, all the way down to Uncle Jeff on Facebook. The need to get high short-circuits intelligence every time.
