FULL HEADER:

Converse pulls a Gillette with SJW ad campaign .Features bizarre art, naturally demonizing white men ... to sell shoes

Converse has released a new ad campaign that may actually be worse than Gillette’s.

Titled, “The Woman Who Lived in a Shoe,” Converse explained that the campaign features “modern day nursery rhymes for women who own their stories.”

The cringe-worthy ad tells the “real” stories of women of color who apparently quit their jobs, opted not to get married or have children, get trolled online and “choose the life” that they lead. It features bizarre art, naturally demonizing white men… to sell shoes.

"Converse's manufacturing operations for Chuck Taylor All Stars, as well as the company's other shoes, was moved from the United States to other countries such as China, India, Vietnam and Indonesia."

One has to wonder whether it’s the company that chooses to pander to the least desirable aspects of society, or whether it’s the tribe of ultra-liberals who control Madison Avenue which dictates the content of the garbage which is produced.

Commercials are of course the most insidious form of social manipulation/engineering, always displaying unnatural deviancy as “the new normal” (and of course castigating actual normal behavior as hateful or deviant).

The media controllers haven’t yet figured out a way to force all of the good people to watch their disgusting programs — but ALL programs contain commercials and there’s no good way to avoid them entirely. Most people are too stupid to even try to avoid them, and the brainwashing continues little by little by little, with those on the low end of the intelligence scale being the most easily manipulated.

If you're not already wearing New Balance, you're wrong.

Throw those snowflake sneakers in the trash.

Converse is owned by Nike. Therefore, they are evil.

The thugs can stuff it !!!

2 years ago the Youngest Daughter was at work in the MAUL and suddenly She and Co-workers were ordered to Lockdown and Cower in the office by MAUL insecurity.

4.5 hours later the SWAT Team came by and escorted them outside.

Cause for Lockdown and Cower: 2 thug bangers in a gunfight over damned tennis shoes!!!

It isn't rocket science re: Why this is happening?

Nike bought Converse back in 2003!

When I was in college around 1969 I was a scholarship track athlete. We were issued a pair of spikes and flats. The only two brands that I was aware of were Adidas and Puma. There was one other high quality brand, Riddell which mostly made ripple sole coaches shoes.

I worked at a Summer retreat in the Western Carolina Mountains. There was a huge staff, over 400 college students during the Summer.

As it turned out there were two other track athletes on the staff and we all wore our flats for every day wear. No one else was. Within a couple of years everything changed.

By 1973 most of the staff were wearing them and a few other brands were being sold. The new ones were Onitsuka (Tigers) and Spot Bilt which all the weight men wore.

About the same time you began to see rip offs made it Taiwan etc. The quality of these falsies as we called them was awful. None of the athletes would have been caught dead wearing them.

Now that has changed. You can get off brands or no name brands made in China which are first class.

Nobody buys Converse any more but liberal hipsters. This is actually catering to their existing core audience.

I used to spend money in Dicks. Till they turned out to be Dicks.
I went there to get my hunting license last year because they do it exclusively as a free service. A loss leader. Jerks.
When I got there they had a huge display by the license counter. YETI coolers. They compound their idiocy. Now they’re not even selling standard hunting rifles in most stores and closing a bunch of other stores.

Smooth move.

Several years ago I briefly worked in the shoe department at Sears. Every day we would have to check every box of Converse All-Stars.

People would come in, pretend to try on a new pair, put their ratty old shoes in the box and put the box back on the shelf.

Walk out with brand new Chucks. This happened daily. They were under the price point to put security devices on them, so there was nothing we could do. Probably a big reason that store closed.

PS - DO NOT wear those shoes, they will seriously mess up your feet.

Oops, didn’t pay attention to the link. That web site is a disaster. And, for the few seconds I sat watching my screen overrun with ads, It doesn’t look like there is anything to the story.

Pretty sick stuff. But then this is the age of the Millenials’ peak vulnerability to marketing.

Easiest generation ever to get to buy stuff they don’t need with money they don’t have.
