Squatty Potty Flushes Kathy Griffin

From Breitbart, “Squatty Potty Pulls Ads Featuring Kathy Griffin: Comedian Violated Toilet Accessory Company’s ‘Core Values’”.  Squatty Potty CEO Bobby Edwards says about Griffin,

Kathy Griffin’s Golden Turd Award Presented For “Most Vile and Disgusting ‘D Lister’ Ever”

We were shocked and disappointed to learn about the image Ms. Griffin shared today, it was deeply inappropriate and runs contrary to the core values our company stands for. In response, Squatty Potty has suspended its ad campaign featuring Ms. Griffin. We have acted swiftly and decisively to demonstrate our commitment to a culture of decency, civility, and tolerance.

Griffin had recently starred in a new ad campaign for Squatty Potty. The company produces stools, sprays, and other bathroom accessories.

‘FakeNews’ Time Magazine Steals Mad Magazine’s Cover

by

It’s pretty bad when #FakeNews Time Magazine has to steal a #ReallyFakeNews cover idea from Mad Magazine.  From SF Gate we learn, “Mad magazine says Time ripped off cover idea“.  But not to worry….

Mad magazine says Time magazine stole the material for its newest cover, which shows the White House sprouting bulbous towers in Moscow, from Mad.

And indeed, Mad’s Dec. 12, 2016, cover headlined “Putin’s Influence Over Trump Continues to Grow” is strikingly similar to Time’s May 29 mashup of the White House and Red Square’s iconic St. Basil’s Cathedral.

The humor publication skewered Time with apparent glee.

“Honestly, we’re flattered, but we would have appreciated a credit — something like, ‘Idea stolen from MAD, which in 1952 we called a short lived satirical pulp!’ the humor publication said in an online post Thursday that displayed the cover images side by side.

The New York Times headlines this likely story, “Putin Offers to Provide a ‘Record’ of Trump’s Disclosures to Russian Envoys“.

Asserting himself abroad with his customary disruptive panache, President Vladimir V. Putin on Wednesday jumped into the furor over President Trump’s disclosure of classified information to Russian diplomats, declaring that nothing secret had been revealed and that he could prove it.

Mr. Putin, who has a long record of seizing on foreign crises to make Russia’s voice heard, announced during a news conference in Sochi, Russia …. that he has a “record” of the American president’s meeting at the White House with two senior Russian officials and was ready to give it to Congress — so long as Mr. Trump does not object.
