The EXCLUSION of Cam Newton: My Personal Letter to Dannon

Image
Dear Dannon,  I am writing to express my disappointment in your marginalization of one of your best spokespeople, Mr. Cam Newton.  As of this writing you are choosing to not “use” Cam in any form of advertising until his contract runs out.  You are doing this over a joke Mr. Newton made at a press conference that you perceive as:  "We are shocked and disheartened at the behavior and comments of Cam Newton towards Jourdan Rodrigue, which we perceive as   sexist and   disparaging to all women. It is entirely inconsistent with our commitment to fostering equality and inclusion in every workplace . It's simply not ok to belittle anyone based on gender. We have shared our concerns with Cam and will no longer work with him." How can you foster “equality and inclusion in every workplace” when you refuse to include a young gay black man in your advertisements?   Cam Newton has been banned for making jokes during a recent "presser" even though he was being incl

I love football.  I love American football specifically.  The Spanish word for soccer “futbol” is used so often that when talking to an American a foreigner has to differentiate the two by saying “AMERICAN football.”  The rest of the world does not care at all about our American Football.  We do though.  Some of us worship football.  My Dad sure did.  On one special Sunday some big playoff games were on.  My mother had us going to mass every Sunday, "religiously".  Now that I was ten though my Dad explained to my mother that the boy was “old enough to make his own decision.”  My Dad is smart.  I felt really empowered.  With my Mom standing there scowling at me, shaking her head in the “you better not” direction I was not entirely sure what I should do.  My father seemed to have everything under control.  “Now Art, do you want to stay home with your Dad, eat hamburgers, chips, drink some cokes on ice and watch football? Or do you want to go to church?”  Taking all factors tha

The Hack that made Richard F. Smith 90 Million Dollars

“ We all know you are entitled to nothing in this life. ”    Richard F. Smith Richard F. Smith aka “Rick” became CEO of Equifax in Sept. of 2005.   Equifax has been around for 115 years.   Richard Smith graduated from Purdue University which has been around for 143 years.   Richard was handed his diploma becoming a true “Boilermaker” in 1981.   “Once you are a Boilermaker, you are a Boilermaker for life.”   It’s hard to find out a lot of personal details about Dick outside his public business life of 34 years because amongst the super rich social elite like Dick “You only appear in the public’s view twice;    Once for your birth announcement in the papers, and then finally for your obituary.   That’s it all they need to know about you.”  Dick sticks to the concept.   We can certainly guess that a white guy working top jobs at GE probably lives pretty well, well above 90% of the general population, meaning well above 300 million US citizens.   Then after making a bunch of mon

Wonder Woman Has a Dick

“She must never know the truth about who she is, or how she came to be.”    -Robin Wright speaking the words of General Antiope as pre-written by Zack Snyder, Allan Heinberg, and Jason Fuchs with help from Geoff Johns and Patty Jenkins.     I’m sorry.   Let me start by apologizing.   I illegally watched Wonder Woman yesterday.   I got it online.   I have no excuse.   I wouldn’t pay to see it when they were hocking it at the theater.   If anyone at Warner Bros wants the admission money I cheated them out of returned, please let me know personally asap so I can promptly lobby management for a refund.   This is not a movie review.   I just don’t financially support modern day hollow hollywood representations of reality.   Not that Wonder Woman is reality.   Hollywood has thoroughly perverted the invention of moving film from showing actual pictures of reality itself to creating bent filmed representations of a reality they want us to see.   Hollywood influencing the mind started with
