Vibram Is Done

[F. Howl]

Sorry, I try not to correct grammar; but, if you call other people dense and you can't even spell, then "YOU'RE" dense

Were all aware of the difference. Contractions our the most common typo. Theirs nothing to feel superior about. https://www.techly.com.au/2016/04/01/if-you-correct-peoples-grammar-your-probably-a-jerk-science/

Sorry, but when you scold other people for their imperfect use of grammar and punctuation it helps if you finish your sentence with a period. Ya know, to not make it look like you're dense.

Yet another race to the bottom, with no winners.

Already rebranded for 2018!? Your doublespeak makes no sense to me Did the Vibram for 2018 already happen? How many times did MVP brand it already before 2018? Does Vibram grow their rubber trees at Maple Hill? MVP now runs the Rubber Farm?

It was announced last fall'ish that the Maple Hill Open will be title sponsored by MVP starting in 2018. Previously it was sponsored by Vibram, hence the Vibram Open, which is no longer exists.

On DG humor, that was coincidently after the vibram memes started lol. We all thought we killed the brand off of sponsoring the tournament, then this happened.

 

[Hampstead]

Calling those memes "humor" is an affront to those who like to laugh.

Ughhhhhhhh

Your argument style is so fun.

Thanks.

So, it's not legal anywhere in the USA?

Not sure if serious. But, even if this is a rhetorical question, it's silly.

Here's the cure for your ignorance, whether feigned or real:

Article in "Vox"

Wouldn't this be like having a fit over a stamp depicting gambling? That's legal in some places and not in others.

So you raise one irrelevant rhetorical question and follow it with a false analogy wrapped in another one. No one here is having a fit.

I was also commenting about the absurdity of one being legal and not the other based on what's happened in the past.

Of course you were, which, really, has nothing to do with whether Vibram should be criticized for glorifying illegal activity. Look, I love Vibram discs and the pot reference doesn't bother me. But to take some ill-considered, pot-martyr, fake offense to anyone drawing a distinction between legal and illegal activity is dumb.

 

[wolfmandragon]

Who cares if it illegal or not. It is sad that someone lets mob rule determine their own moral standards. Make thy own mind up.

I don't remember this much faux outrage when Discraft came out with the Heisenberg Crank a few years ago.

I get the Crank reference, but Heisenberg? Like as in the heisenberg uncertiality principle?

It's legal in some states. Legal.

I'm not really interested in debating state vs federal on this issue.

My reference to the fits was when this first came up.

My point was the hypocrisy that's on display, which somehow keeps going over your head. The legal status has nothing to do with it but plz continue to beat a dead horse.

Not much of a Breaking Bad fan, eh?

 

[wolfmandragon]

No. The show looked boring, never watched it.

Totally agree it looks boring. Took me forever to start it, but it's one of the better shows ever produced.

Ha ha. I could name a few of my discs Heisenberg, based on the uncertainty of what the outcome could be.

 

[Um...]

Bro.

OUTRAGE!

Nope, it's illegal in all states because federal law applies in all states.

Since you are so ignorant on the issue, I don't blame you.

My point was the hypocrisy that's on display, which somehow keeps going over your head. The legal status has nothing to do with it but plz continue to beat a dead horse.

But there's no hypocrisy. Just a distinction between legal and illegal. You are inventing the hypocrisy with your pot-martyrdom. Take that up with congress or your state legislature. There's no hypocrisy in faulting a company for glorifying illegal activity and not being upset when a company that peddles a legal product advertises during or sponsors a sporting event.

You want to talk about what should and should not be illegal. That's a different argument and that fact seems to be going over your head (or through it without registering).

The 420 thing was a poor decisions. It just didn't have much upside and it risked getting some sensitive people up in arms.

I would love to know how those same folks feel about beer sponsorships in their favorite sports.

Wait, what?
