North Face goes Bud Lite
 
North Face to Bud Lite

"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.

Target have become a target.

Amazing how executives have not learned from the bud disaster.

North Face, REI, Columbia, etc. all lean lefty, primarily due to their vested interest in National Parks, all things outdoors, which leads them down the road to climate issues, etc.

Can't boycott them all, but I do try to pick and choose the lesser of the evils.

Toymeister 05-24-2023 05:35 PM

June is pride month, so you will see more marketing along those lines

dwoodley1975 05-24-2023 07:23 PM

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

dwoodley1975 05-24-2023 07:25 PM

To all the closed-minded think a man define by something he does and what he acts like just needs to open their mind.

The things people in The Villages get their panties all twisted over! I seriously doubt we are the target demographic for North Face.

You got that right.

If you want to be a clown, great. Just don't expect me to buy a ticket to your circus!

Harold.wiser 05-25-2023 04:40 AM

This is probably just a fad or the cause du jour. Remember #metoo, occupy Wall Street, etc?

Woodbear-Agree! As for not being able to boycott or not buy from all of these companies, not true. Very easy to not buy from these companies, and I have added Nike, delta airlines, Coca Cola, Disney, and many others to the list. There are many alternatives to each of these companies, and most of the alternatives are better

When I was a little boy in church learning stories from the book of Genesis, I learned that Joseph wore a “coat of many colors” made for him by his dad. (Not by North Face.) He married an Egyptian woman named Asenath whose dad was a priest who served some Egyptian god. Descendants of his two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, became tribes of Israel. As a child, I assumed that his coat was rainbow colored. Is rainbow-colored clothing no longer allowed for the majority of us? How about rainbow colored Lifesavers? How about Crayola crayons?

I agree. I just want them to honor all those Sicilian, Irish, Norwegian, German, Caucasian, heterosexual, male carnivores like me with our own month. Maybe November????(lol)

You get that all year. And - humans aren't carnivores. They're omnivores.

Since you asked:

Deuteronomy 22:5 “A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman’s garment, for all who do so are an abomination to the Lord your God."

So, I'd say God cares. And I do also.

I'm thankful for companies like target for taking it too far. That's what it's gonna take for people to finally wake up. Like the school board meetings for example. Going after the kids, people have had enough! Tuck clothes for small children, disgusting! Finally, they've gone too far and people will start speaking with the only means possible today without risking being harassed or canceled. We can all speak our minds with our wallets!! Bud Light was the spark! We need to all work together to save the children and our society from this insane ideology. Let's not forget Sodom and Gomorrah. It's not too late, but we're at a tipping point and now is the time to make a difference! Profit and Loss, that's the language they all understand!

Do you have an issue with any social activity? How about incest, bestiality, polygamy etc?

Just open your mind.

I am sure that you realize that there really IS a difference? Rainbows and Rainbow symbols became the logo that the gay deviant lifestyle commandeered to represent them. Not the other way around. Just as the Christian cross that represents the Crucifixion of Christ and HIS subsequent rising from death, was commandeered by the KKK to represent them. In the Bible the rainbow symbolizes promise and hope, AND never symbolized the gay lifestyle. I think that comparing lifesavers and crayons to the gay symbol is a bit far fetched. :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

How does that work? Or, was that an attempt to be rude to another poster?

So women should not wear slacks? Just burqas in public, following your logic?

What happened to the Bible passage of not judging others?

Culture wars are being used by too many to avoid handling the real issues of today, in my opinion, which I am entitled to.

Birdrm 05-25-2023 07:31 AM

Yes I agree except all of the major airlines are woke so hard to pick one.

Yes, the only other option to slacks is a burka...

And before you go there, I don't care if anyone wears anything they want...

merrymini 05-25-2023 07:44 AM

Maybe I do not need northface stuff, nonetheless, I will keep my money from them like I would other companies who go out of their way, and out of their business line, for political points, regardless of what they are.

Uuuhhmmm, did you really mean to compare these illegal acts to “social activities”???

Mulliganguy 05-25-2023 08:07 AM

Common sense policies made this Nation great. Evidently “opening up your mind “is supposed to make it better except for those with common sense

What in the world does my view of companies promoting behavior that I think is wrong have to do with my Manhood? Guess you do not think I am entitled to my own opinion.

If I am not entitled why are you?

Whitley 05-25-2023 08:26 AM

Companies do these silly things not because they are necessarily woke or virtue signalling, but because companies are rated for their CEI score. CEI, Corporate Equity Index. The CEI is calculated by the Human Rights Campaign, a Soros funded LGBTQIA++ political lobbying group. The largest LBGTQIA++ political lobbying group in the world. Companies fear getting a low CEI rating as it can affect their bottom line. Seems now they need to walk a tightrope.
