Pretty easy to see the reason for the description in that story. Literally the point I was making.
Does this ad bother you?

Wow, the venom in your approach. This was just a simple question, something to talk over, relax.

So... Them not caring is supposed to be their identity? That should make me want to be a customer?
Oh boy, just what I've been looking for, a company that doesn't even pretend to care about me! Shut Up And Take My Money!
In 1970, I really thought race would be a dead issue by 2000, and I was happy! Race has cycled back for reasons I won't get into on the main forum and that makes me sad. While I have been in fights that someone else claimed was about race, nowhere and from nobody will anyone claim I started a fight about race. I don't discriminate on the basis of race. Those that want discrimination in the way of special privileges, they may scream racist because I treat them like everyone else, no special privileges.
I have fought for countless things, a search on here will show that I fought a lot or broke house cues to get out of places many times in my first few years gambling before I learned to extract money gently instead of leaving a place often leading a parade of unhappy pool players and gamblers. I certainly hold nothing against pool players and gamblers, they paid for my partying, sometimes covered mortgages on two properties and all my bills which I thought was real considerate of them.
There is a saying about looking past the timber in a person's own eye to see the splinter in someone else's. That seems to fit some posters here nicely. I couldn't be racist from the time I was running or at least waddling fast. We couldn't play baseball without rounding up every kid on the bayou for several miles each way. Black, white, nonenglish speaking, girls and boys, didn't matter. Everyone played. That way we might get six or seven people on a team aged three to sixteen or so. Good times and good memories.

They speak to the majority. The majority dont care. You can’t make everyone happy.

A typical characteristic of an uneducated angry individual, when you don't have anything to say intelligent, resort to name calling.They speak to the majority. The majority dont care. You can’t make everyone happy. Obviously you have tender little feelings that gets upset by a bad language word meant has a joke so shop some where else Karen. They’ll be fine.

I'm all for a bit of tiffing, and I love calling out ridiculous garbage. but no need to swear at a fellow
hahaI think, as I mentioned before, some people have the luxury of having nothing better to do. So enjoy nit-picking at things such as a sales demographic that doesn't really apply to them. This thread is nothing more than an extended bellyache. Just figured out the ignore button. Happy to give a lesson to anyone on how it works, if like me you are stuck being notified of yawn worthy ping pong
Doesn’t bother me in the slightest. Although I’d say it was completely unnecessary.
Bothers me a bit. I recognize WE collectively give words meaning and as time marches on, some words mean more and others less. That's fine. Part of me, appreciates honesty from a business. The other part, doesn't like the overall coarsening of our society. It all adds up. It's a large part of why our politics are the way they are.
Interesting question. I would still purchase from them so I'm not that bothered, but would just make a mental note and click -- checkout.

You go on a open forum full of poolplayers with a can of gas and light this lame dumpsterfire. Don't get all butthurt when you get called out on it. See an ad you don't like WALK but don't turn it into some sort of metaphor for your perception of the ills of modern society. What really makes ME mad is just how thin-skinned people are today. People get offended by the lamest shit.
If I may ask where was this advertisement posted? From your listing it appears to be a post to a social media thread.
That to me indicates a certain amount of planning/targeting on the vendor in regards the audience it was going to. Which makes a large difference in whether I would consider it inappropriate or not.
You might be right that it was all a sham to a certain extent but it was still put out there as an ideal. As a father of three, it seems the only ideal my kids can aim for now is what is displayed in our home. Maybe that's not all bad, but even the fictitious American dream of picket fences, apple pie, and a harmonious family life served a purpose EVEN if it was fiction.
and that would just cause more of an argument, as I don't think using that phrase makes them "unethical" in any fashion. its just the coarseness, and whether people let that affect them or not
