Arseholes are forever fucking things up. I feel sorry for all the people who suddenly find themself sharing a name with a serial killer, or other form of dickwad.

Man. yeah i hope this one is quickly forgotten and not forever tainted - Like how i used to enjoy pepe the frog cartoons when Matt Furie drew them, or how I liked the name Milo because of my grandfather until that nazi came along. At least they seem unable to take Gritty away from us.

I’d never heard of them before, so now I’m associating them with Kyle right now!

Yeah, I have to think if nothing was said, these edge-lords would be doing their thing in their shit pit, and most of the world is oblivious. And probably stop being a thing in 3-6 months. Now it just upped the life span, because if there is one thing the right wing goons love to do, is piss people off. It means they are “winning”.

Willet’s Winery and Bar in Bardstown KY posted a photo of Rittenhouse Rye the night K Rittenhouse was found not guilty telling people to come in and celebrate with $5 shots of Rittenhouse. They deleted ALL of their social media within an hour of posting it. I hope they go out of business forever.

That’s unfortunate; I like several of Willet’s whiskeys. Just to clarify though, Rittenhouse Rye is made by Heaven Hill, not Willet

That is an admirably masterful bit of PR writing.

That statement is an example of PR folks truly earning their money. It’s nuanced, avoids taking a side, and distances the brand from the situation while taking the high road. Bravo.

Update: Having read the replies to the tweets, including the obligatory ones including the word “woke,” that…didn’t work. Predictably, I guess.
