POV's Shots from the Hip

Good Morning,

Hope everyone had a good evening...

Little rant here...

So, who now owns the trademark on the words "Fourth of July"?

Has anyone else noticed the GM ads on TV and radio saying "Great American Holiday" instead of "Fourth of July"?

I mean hell, it's bad enough you can't say "Super Bowl" anymore and have to call it "The Big Game".

This is crazy!!

Am I the only one who has noticed these ads?

I hadn't noticed... or not yet. Humm, well, you should know by now this is the 'liberal political correctness phase' of the country. As with Merry Christmas, they must change everything to suite their agenda.
I'll stick with 4th of July!! & INDEPENDENCE DAY! YEA!

I noticed and you know they will run those adds in the ground for the next month. I remember last year it was painful.

Chard, you are certainly onto something there.

As far as being PC, I dont think they would put the word "American" in it though. I really think something else is motivating the brass at GM.

Wiser, yes, those President Day ads bled my brain. I still have nightmares.

I do notice things like these, POV. It is the consequences of the American publics paradigm shift into multiculturism. Everything must appeal to everyone so as not to offend sensitivities.

Me? I'm old school. Let's tell it like it is. Let's call it the 4th of July and blow some stuff up!

Are ye fer me or agin' me?

I really have nothing to add here, except to say fireworks are legal around here. Which I find exciting. I have a drawer full of them. The guy we bought them from, in the parking lot of the Wal-Mart, (I'm white trashing it up with this comment, aren't I?) was from Plano. Small world.

No, it's an interesting blog. I just haven't seen the ads and can only think they changed it to bring attention to it. And it worked! :)

Major announcement on CNN!

The holiday formerly known as The Fourth of July has been designated insensitive to all of those of other ethnicities and origins.

In honor of everyones emancipation from whatever ails them, the holiday will continue albeit under the new designation: EGADS!

EGADS is an acronym for Everybody Gets A Day to Squander.

Everyone knows Pink Floyd wasn't any good until Roger Waters took over.

Ted, Pink Floyd is my all time fav band...

The early stuff was totally weird. I see that video in my head right now with them carrying the headless mannequins on the beach.

LMAO!!!

Roger is still the man, LDS!!

Gilmore was so jealous of him, still is.

If they would just come together, they would have a billion dollar tour.

I would have front row tickets, regardless of cost I can assure you.

GAH, TB POV, why don't you and Pink Floyd get a room?

My dad loves them. He's like their biggest fan. My husband says it's elevator music.
