Learn what. They are just giving people a voice. I am all for it. I support all. People are just narrow-minded. Who cares.

Nothing like supporting men taking away from women opportunities 🤦*♂️

The question might be, what side is that?

Not for me, I have decided to identify as a 30 year old.

"Hold my beer"

So Bud Lite loses $110 million in sales and billions in stock value, Target drops a bomb on itself, and now North Face joins the fun.

How a commercial that has a man, complete with mustache, prancing around in rainbow gear and platform shoes will sell more outdoor gear is beyond logic. Not a single piece of North Face gear in the ad.

My guess is most of the people commenting didn’t watch the ad. The poor video and audio quality alone should have clued you in that this is a spoof video not a real ad for North Face.

Think it is much smaller than that

Very true surprised more females are not up in arms over this.

Since you've chosen my favorite book in the Old Testament, I suggest you try out a few of these humdingers:

5:13 Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work: 5:14 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou.

Translation for non-Jews: It means on whatever day you select as your Sabbath day, you, your family, your employees, your work animals, anyone who comes to your door, does NOTHING. You don't turn on lights, you don't turn the oven on, you don't turn the AC off. You don't button buttons or zip zippers, you don't cook or stick something in the microwave oven, or wash dishes. You don't drive a car or ride a horse. You don't work, and you don't force anyone or anything else to work, on the Sabbath.

Good luck with that. I've never met a Christian I thought had the chops to even try it. The Amish come pretty close.


Graven images anyone? How about the cross, or the carving of Jesus that some of you kneel to at your churches, or hang over your bed to make sure that you have an audience whenever you have sexy time with your spouse:

5:8 Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth: 5:9 Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me, 5:10 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.

So yeah - keep your bible out of my government please. I don't want to have to stone you to death for disobeying a commandment. I'm a pacifist. Kinda like Jesus, the Jewish guy.

But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised.

The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.


See that man who thinks he's so smart? You can expect far more from a fool than from him.

Are you sure it's a spoof video? The North Face website has a photo of Pattie Gonia wearing those clothes and it includes the following caption:

Summer of Pride Tour

For the second year in a row, we’ve teamed up with Pattie Gonia to celebrate Pride and bring camp to the outdoors—and you’re invited! Join us for a day of hiking, drag, community and more.

So, which is it? Is PG mentally ill or just trying to get attention and make money the lazy method? Not that it matters to me because it is unlikely that our paths will ever cross. Just bored and wasting time on this.

Nice try but

Maybe this will clue you in

The ad is on North Face Instagram account

The poor video and audio quality should clue everyone in that North Face is engaging in cheap and meaningless virtue signaling.

Nothing like telling people that the company is really supporting this.

In other words, very rare...
