Its one of those things that I can't believe it passed all the however many eyes are necessary to look at a marketing slogan for a major company. Everyone along that line should be demoted or fired.

I suspect that everyone upset with this understands what it's actually saying, but they've chosen to interpret it as rape-related just so that they can get upset with it.

I suspect you see it that way just so you can get upset that the rest of us think it was a poor choice of words.

No really, you don't have to think they did it on purpose to think this teapot looks like Hitler. And since alcohol is the most commonly used rape drug, it's got that extra spice of cringe.
If you like bud light then fine, but don't pretend that was the best idea to put on the bottle of a mass marketed consumer product.

This seems likely. There is no such thing as implication or association. This is just Big Feminism trying to take down another independent beer producer through mass hysteria and, dare I say it, hypnotic suggestion through ultrasonic sound waves?

What a curiously random date. I can't think of any reason they'd choose that one.

Yes, because the ability to carry enough armor to survive RPGs and the like plus a gun that will trivially kill any non-tank armored vehicle (and blow up anything else you might want blown up) are still useful qualities even if you're not fighting another tank. Which you still might be.

Oh god, I remember that mess. "How dare they assault the armed soldiers who invaded their boat! And look at all these weapons we found on their allegedly peaceful ship, none of which you would find on literally every other ship in the world!"

Pictured: the dastardly weapons shipment "peace activists" were smuggling into Gaza under the pretense of defying the blockade to deliver food and medicine:

The curve of it kind of makes it look like a kirpan, which is a knife Sikhs are required by their religion to wear.

That makes sense. It certainly didn't look like an actual weapon. I was thinking they had some kind of fantasy weeaboo on board, but a Sikh makes more sense.

And lol, they included the galley's honing steel as a "weapon". For fucks sake.

The knife is a Janbiya, not a Kirpan. Its kinda similar in that it has cultural importance beyond being a stabby thing.
