Smash your own stuff, that’ll show them!

This is pretty funny. Hannity defends Roy Moore, Media Matters urges Keurig (a maker of coffee machines) to stop advertising on Hannity’s show, Keurig obliges, Hannity fans…smash up their own Keurig coffee machines.

Keurig — along with four other advertisers, including Realtor.com and Nature’s Bounty — pulled their ads from the program. But Hannity’s defenders singled out Keurig’s decision, and #BoycottKeurig was born.

And perhaps because Keurig coffee machines are a rather infrequent purchase and so difficult to boycott, the movement turned into a series of Twitter videos of people smashing their coffee makers to pieces.

Damn, do any car makers advertise on Hannity? Because that would be even funnier.

Take that, vile coffeemaker machine!

    Does Realtor.com backing out mean they’ll be destroying their own homes too? (I’m going to hope the realtors themselves aren’t targets, but with this crowd, it’s more hope than a firm expectation.)

    They’re making america great again…by breaking it to bits. Great job, MAGAs!

    Flying coffee makers in political solidarity for a sexual offender running for office. I’m going to go out on a limb here and claim that this is yet another 2017 episode that transcends anyone’s predictions.

    Thankfully the petunias and whales have been spared (so far).

    I read an article on this and the tweets I saw lent more of the impression that these guys just weren’t planning on advertising on the show, not that they were pulling ads. The headlines looked a bit misleading…

    Breaking your expensive coffee machine that gave you a product you clearly must’ve enjoyed is hilariously stupid though.

    And liberals are supposed to be the ones who overreact due to being easily-triggered snowflakes.

    The forces of darkness are masters of projection… Which should make very clear how dangerous their intentions are.

    Keurig: We fully support people’s First Amendment rights to boycot us by destroying the shit they bought from us. We’re offering a “buy two get 10% discount on third” for any person wanting to boycot us.*

    *Only while stocks last.

    And a year from now, when the short-attention-span rage-artists doing this have forgotten what they were pissed about, there will be a spike in replacement Keurig machine sales.

    (For the record: I kind of hate Keurig machines on principle. From what I understand, K-cups are a rather wasteful way to make coffee. And when they brought out tea in K-cups, I thought: “Really? And this is an improvement over the humble teabag, which has been with us for generations, in what way?”)

    Volvo has pulled their ads from Hannity now. I can’t wait for the video of someone driving one off the roof of a parking structure.

    Pieter, they’d have to drive them off multiple times; Volvos are damn near indestructible.
