Yes, it's a WTF, but foremost, it's political crap. The Deplorables thread is adequate for it.

Please move to suit

PS. I had to insert a * as the robo censor would not let me quote you

Whilst the difficult we can do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer. However, miracles you will have to wait for.

Stuff: Mattel’s 'Wicked' dolls spark controversy after misprinted website link leads to adult content

"I regret to say that we of the F.B.I. are powerless to act in cases of oral-genital intimacy, unless it has in some way obstructed interstate commerce." — J. Edgar Hoover

"Create a society that values material things above all else. Strip it of industry. Raise taxes for the poor and reduce them for the rich and for corporations. Prop up failed financial institutions with public money. Ask for more tax, while vastly reducing public services. Put adverts everywhere, regardless of people's ability to afford the things they advertise. Allow the cost of food and housing to eclipse people's ability to pay for them. Light blue touch paper." — Andrew Maxwell

Black Friday, on all week.

Except for PB Tech, where Friday lasts for a fortnight.

Windows has had Explorer and the desktop since 1995. You'd think it would work properly after 29 years. I just opened properties of a file on the desktop and it gave me the properties of something in the Recycle Bin.

On the other hand, "actual" black Friday is only that date because retailers have decided to offer sales on that date. It's not really a W-T-F when a retailer has a sale on a different random Friday. That's just capitalism.

Calling an entire fortnight "Friday", on the other hand...

geoffwnz: Not to mention that PBTech have now started advertising Cyber Monday deals as well.

To be followed by Bargain Tuesday, Happy Hour Wednesday, Green Thursday, and the Weekend of Deals.

Specifically, Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving, the official start of the Christmas shopping season. There's only one day that can be Black Friday.

Kraft Heinz must face Mac & Cheese lawsuit, judge rules: Reuters

A US federal judge said Kraft Heinz must face a proposed nationwide class action alleging that it defrauded consumers by claiming its Kraft macaroni and cheese, one of its best-known products, contains no artificial preservatives.

In a decision on Wednesday, the judge said consumers plausibly alleged that Kraft Mac & Cheese contained a synthetic form of citric acid that differed from the natural variety, and also contained sodium phosphates.

The judge said the plaintiffs specifically alleged that the ingredients functioned as preservatives, making Kraft Heinz's claim of "No Artificial Flavors, Preservatives or Dyes" on labels false, and cited academic studies and U.S. Food and Drug Administration guidance to support their case.
