What're you trying to say, exactly...?

No. The point is that Black History Month is bold easy to read writing and Walgreen's is smaller, cursive, colored text that doesn't draw the eye towards it. Walgreen's should have made their name bigger and more attractive. That no doubt is what BlackNMil2k1 is pointing out in this textbook example of bad marketing.

Your "so black its almost purple" text isn't helping your case...

EDIT: Ha ha. I didn't realize I had posted again in this thread. I even quoted the wrong thing. I was going to quote Zap and just mention that the same thought actually occured to me as I was typing that message and then I felt I better leave it in for a more fun racially awkward statement. Then I felt it wasn't neccessary to say anything at all. But since this post was already made, I might as well make use of it.

EDIT: What the? I thought I was just modifying that second post. Instead I posted again. This thread is messing with me. I think I'm going to stay far away from it.

that Baby guy · « **Reply #16 on:** October 16, 2009, 12:20:08 AM »

I told Mop_it_up about the cotton. She said she just forgot all history equally. I asked her who the president during the Civil War was, and she replied Lincoln and Davis.

RACIST!

Mop it up · « **Reply #17 on:** October 16, 2009, 12:27:47 AM »

Just don't ask me who is president right now, because I don't know that one.

Sounds like a clear case of racism to me. That is, if I correctly know who your current president is.

Aw good. Well my idea was to turn you into a snow globe where you're constantly pissed at all the puddles from melting snow that keeps coming down since the funhouse will take turns shaking you up. please, no dirty jokes guys

if you're referring to my post; its not sexist if her username is MOP_IT_UP and admits to being a clean freak.

As for your post; hilarious, but how long until Ubisoft pics up the license?

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #22 on:** October 17, 2009, 02:12:57 PM »

I was playing off the title of the thread like I did in the 1st post, but to follow up a "No Dirty Jokes" request with that pic while relating it to Mop it up is pretty unintentionally funny.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #23 on:** October 17, 2009, 03:29:51 PM »

I can't read Japanese, but I'm sure this pic symbolizes something in Japan.
Probably not the message Sony wanted to get across.

Probably, but I can't say I wouldn't have wanted that when I was a kid.

Have I actually ever stated I was a clean freak or did you all just infer it from my username?
