Stars to wear orange pins at Oscars in call for gun control
ABC News ^ | March 3, 2018 | Danny Clemens

Less than a month after a school shooting that killed 17 people, several celebrities are reportedly planning to use the Oscars as a platform to raise awareness for gun control.

People magazine reports that a group of A-listers will don orange pins from Everytown for Gun Safety, a nonprofit organization that advocates for gun control and works to reduce gun violence.

Orange is the unofficial color that has come to be associated with various gun-control causes. Everytown sells orange American flag pins on its website, but it's not immediately clear if those are the exact pins that will be worn during the demonstration.

While those clueless libtards are at it, how about handing out pink pins to protest casting couch sexual assault ... gray pins to protest the drug trafficking in Hollyweird ... red pins to protest needless violence in films ... blue pins to protest pornography and vulgarity in films ... green pins to protest the big government the stars vote for ... white pins to celebrate junk science causes they support like global warming (or cooling, or whatever) ... rainbow pins to protest the homosexual lifestyle they flaunt ... yellow pins to protest the rampant adultery they practice ...

More liberal virtue-signaling.

Oscars ratings are going to crash tonight to record lows.

They still don’t get it.

Pins, ribbons, and wrist bands for “causes” are so stupid. Its like everyone has become a teenage girl and it’s Pep Day at school.

I suspect that it would be almost impossible for a Hollywood exec to understand just how unimportant showbiz is to me.

They already did. Orange is leukemia.

Wonder if they have armed guards at the Oscars?

And that’ll be just the ‘men’

Haven’t watched since Bob Hope was the MC. And will continue that trend.

While they’re surrounded by armed security. No hypocrisy there.

They wear a pin to show they care more than you do. They are better people than you are because they care and you don’t.

This reminds me of Rush on his tv show many years ago. He had all a lot of different ribbons on his chest.

Hollywood hypocrisy is rich.

They promote all kinds of sex in their movies, sleep around in their personal lives, strut around half naked before the cameras and cry like innocent, virtuous girls when men react.

Now, they’re going to promote gun control! Where did you ever see more guns and violence than what comes out of Hollywood! Is the public too stupid to see this?

This kind of color-signaling crap is SO, SO tiring. It began in 1973 with the song “Tie A Yellow Ribbon.” It has been copycatted so often using so many different colors for so many different faux causes, that the idea has lost all impact.

Oh look! — more “beautiful people” hypocritical virtue signaling. My eyes rolled so far back, they almost got stuck!
No doubt lots of these lovely folks live in special gated areas with armed security. I’m pretty sure the higher ups have armed bodyguards too.

The wearing of the Orange. Good old Irish Protestant colors. July 12th. King Wiliam of Orange Day.

As if I needed it, yet another reason not to watch this black-tie circle jerk.

Making movies where 50+ people are shot by every type of gun. Movies where every problem is solved with a gun or some other form of violence. They could stop that themselves.

The orange pins won’t stop attendees or their bodyguards from packing heat, nor those returning to walled and armed-guarded estates.
