H&K steps in it

[JohnR]

Looks like HK got bit by the wokebeetle.

This “woke” and “virtue signaling” crap is a product of poorly educated ignoramuses and insecure losers who believe the louder they scream in your face, the more “powerful” they are.
Too many nowadays think they are destined to be “influencers”.
I’ll bet the marketing idiot who started the H&K ruckus wouldn’t make a dime if she tried selling herself with an Onlyfans account.

[King Rat]

Lol, what a Stigma to get. Every time I see a HK now, well let's just say give me a Bud light.

The issue was “gun bunnies” in ads, though, not alphabet people. It reminded me of another gun company’s “Thin is in” campaign :D

Aren’t “gun bunnies” a protected minority?

Now it appears that H&K have responded by disavowing that “woke” statement and possibly fired the person who wrote it without approval:

WTF cares? Somebody else who wants to be noticed. Still make some of the nicest/best firearms around, more expensive or not. Let's get everyone rattled before we hear the whole story, which we will never hear. He ought to learn how to wear a hat first. Then shoot a gun if he owns one. Can I sell some more coffee?

Relax, no one cares. Just a little fun, no big deal. Now go grab a Bud Light and chill out.

I see that Miller brewing company went WOKE with a commercial saying that women are the reason beer even exists……What is wrong with corporate America, are they trying to aim for an iceberg to destroy their company? I like Miller Highlife and I hope it goes on sale 2 for 1 like Bud Lite which can’t be given away after their boo-boo……I don’t watch much TV and really don’t care about that stuff and will continue to enjoy Miller Highlife beer but I have to wonder what has happened to this country when less than 1 present of the population of LGBTQ+1LMNOP people demand such control of everything…….Guys say they are girls and girls say they are guys and want everyone to say, yeah that’s perfectly normal and get offended if anyone questions their misguided view of right and wrong………..I’m glad that I am old and won’t live too much longer to see where this country is headed to because right now I’m very confused

[King Rat]

"women are the reason beer even exists" Now that is funny.

[JohnR]

But it’s true! Without beer, ugly women wouldn’t get taken home!

This BS is coming from the fact companies are hiring based on checking a box not on the candidates capability.

Relax, no one cares. Just a little fun, no big deal. Now go grab a Bud Light and chill out. Who are you, my mother? Take your own advice.

Champaign of bottled beer. Started it to get women to drink beer. Personally, I wouldn't drink any of the watered-down swill myself. I prefer real beer. I guess if people are worried about calories, they shouldn't be drinking in the first place. :p

[King Rat]

I loved my "Marketing" classes in college. Beer was a favorite example used so often, and we got into detail about Miller High Life. Look at the present gun culture and how they can convince you how you need more and more. It has become ridiculous. So over the top on everything.

"Advertisements for High Life at the time emphasized the champagne lifestyle as well. Before the High Life Girl was perched on a crescent moon, she was shooting out of beer bottles like a champagne cork.

“The Champagne of Bottle Beers” nickname followed one year after that 1905 ad. In 1969, the word “bottle” was dropped to become “The Champagne of Beers”.

The best beer IMO. Guinness Extra Stout

[berettabone]

The best beer IMO. Guinness Extra Stout I'm not sure it's the best, :) but Guinness makes a fine product. The thing about those stouts is after the first few sips, they're just as good at room temp. I used to drink Tooths Sheaf Stout Notice I said used to........one of the few beers I ever had that when opened, you could smell the alcohol, but not in a bad way.....................

[JohnR]

Widget can Guinness is my beverage of choice.

[yqtszhj]

The thing about those stouts is after the first few sips, they're just as good at room temp....

Ain’t that the truth. First room temp Guinness I ever had was over in England at my brother in law’s wedding reception.

Only been to England once but don’t care to go back. I guess I now know why my ancestors came here in the 1600’s. If I had got out of Southern England and went north maybe would have been nicer but I ain’t going to try again. Even my in-laws said there were a lot of places to stay away from. The freedoms we have are much better. And everyone there worked for the sole purpose of saving money to leave and go somewhere else whenever they could get away, like they didn’t like their own place.

[mr surveyor]

Since the subject is beer (bier), I have to add my 1-1/2¢ since I was a home brewer for about 15 years in my previous life. The idea of room temperature beer (bier) just ain't good for American swill (budmillercoors) ... nasty. But, quality ales (not the cheap crap) are best aged/stored at cellar temps (about 55°) and served as such .... and have absolutely no taste degradation as they reach room temperature on the table.

As for Guinness and the "widget" .... it's a totally different animal. Actually rather that CO2, the "fizz", due to the widget is Nitrogen. If it's decanted into a glass you can see the difference. Most anything that's carbonated you'll see the bubbles coming from the bottom to the top of the drink. Normally, in Nitrogen charged beverages you can see the bubbles dropping.

It's a "chemistry thing" :cool:

The wifey's sister married a guy from England. They go back to visit a couple times a year. He was a cop for a while but quit because he couldn't have a firearm. He said that there were many stabbings, baseball bats, etc., but not much gets publicized. He did have a shotgun, but it had to stay locked up at a shooting club. Loves the gun laws over here. The wife's sis says that the first time she went over the water, they went to a local pub. She got nothing but stares from the all-male patrons. I guess it's not proper for a lady to go in and have a pint or two. She said that the people are generally cold and many downright rude. I told her that when you live somewhere that's usually cold, raining and or cloudy 95% of the time, you get cranky. Personally, I wouldn't want to be there for a day.

The whole country is going to hell I tell you, literally.

I think it was last year that a lady H.R. manager at the USA Hyundai Motor’s plant decided on her own to issue a Memo to start a woke something or other, and she was gone in about 60 seconds. Hyundai is now facing a discrimination suit in court. Good for them for standing up for what they believe and not permitting foolishness at their plant.

Could Bud Light be a better gauge of how America is sick of the Crap that is going on with the Liberal Progressive cancer that has invaded the Soul of America, MORE SO, than any polls etc.
Bud Light is synonymous to BRANDON, A WEAK, SPINLESS ,WATERED DOWN JOKE. America is sick of him, woke, BLM, and everything this cancer has touched.

Product is sinking, quickly down 26%

H & K has never been interested in selling guns to the public, unless they
have suddenly changed their policy* That's one reason I won't buy any of
their firearms* They said in the past that they don't think civilians should
own firearms, which is one reason I don't buy any of their stuff!

[berettabone]

:crazy::crazy::crazy::crazy::crazy: Yeah, must be why they built a 23-million-dollar plant in Georgia. They hate U.S. civilians. Only sold 17 million AR's. Don't know where you heard or read that nonsense. They're just not selling to non-Nato countries which sounds like a good idea to me. Must be why GB sells a ton of those damn HK's. :p

Supposedly, H&K is only selling arms to Nato or Nato-like countries. Some people are upset because Israel isn't a member of Nato, so won't be getting any H&K products. J don't know if this is highly upsetting to Israel because they have plenty of firepower and make some fine firearms themselves. Probably not an issue for them. Now, H&K is being called the first "green" firearms maker. :2eek: Maybe it's just me, but I've always thought that it's a good idea to keep arms out of enemy hands.
