BURN!!!!!

Last edited Sat Aug 17, 2019, 03:45 AM - Edit history (2)



Campbell's is now my favourite soup. FACT

EDIT- IT HAS JUST BEEN POINTED OUT TO ME THAT THIS IS NOT IN FACT A TRUE RESPONSE FROM CAMPBELL SOUPS ALAS - TIS A JOKE.

IT IS STILL A BURN TO ALL THOSE HOMOPHOBIC NITWITS OUT THERE BUT I SUPPOSE IF I THOUGHT PROPERLY ABOUT IT A CORPORATION WOULD HAVE TO HAVE SOME SERIOUS SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY TO ACTUALLY DO THIS.... SO PLEASE ENJOY IT FOR WHAT IT IS. A RATHER LOVELY JOKE RATHER THAN AN ACTUAL REAL THING

Blaze of Glory: the grand tradition of burning the American flag
Donald Trump has tweeted that he wants to jail anyone who sets fire to the stars and stripes. But this act of protest has a special place in US history.



Jimi Hendrix did not need a match to burn the American flag. All he needed to desecrate Old Glory was an electric guitar. When Hendrix started to play the national anthem at Woodstock in 1969, the audience must have been baffled. Patriotic bullshit, man! But as he played The Star-Spangled Banner, he distorted it to produce increasingly painful, harsh and violent sounds. The Vietnam war and the dissonance of a US at odds with itself throb in the surreal chaos Hendrix makes of a song written in 1813 to express love of the flag:

O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave

O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

"Burn, baby! Burn!", a slogan attributed to the 1960s R&B disc jockey Magnificent Montague, which became associated with the 1965 Watts Riots

Burn Baby Burn is a poem by American poet Marvin X, X wrote the poem shortly after the Watts Rebellion in 1965 to convey the oppression black people faced in white America.

Probably would have forbade the whole post, but certainly the reference to the person's cold, dead heart.

Love is but a song to sing
Fear's the way we die
You can make the mountains ring
Or make the angels cry
Though the bird is on the wing
And you may not know why

Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now

Recc'ing a fake story from 2015, called out as fake, from the third response onwards. Exit, stage left.

Is this for real?

Can’t imagine that Campbell’s would really let a CS representative mouth off like that.
