Nationalism as marketing

You guys may remember a few months back the ‘commercial’ for the Flux Raider that I posted. I enjoyed the whole goes-up-to11 level of ubernationalism. And its always fun to portray the British as foppish sissies. A much shorter, but just as tongue-in-cheek commercial dropped for Black Rifle Coffee.

I genuinely cannot think of any nation that engages in this sort of self-aggrandizement… I think it’s a uniquely American trait. At least, to this all-in-good-fun extent.

And the “1776” brass knucks are a nice touch.

Yup, totally not preparedness related but if it made me laugh I’m pretty sure it’ll make you laugh, and who couldn’t use a chuckle these days, hm?

h/t to the guy playing the redcoat…his inflection and mannerisms belie some actual acting skill.

ETA: While we’re at it….

Humour – Gun Bunny Rehab

“Guns are heavy when they’re actually loaded.”

Priceless.

Personally, I like..no, love….gun bunnies. But, thats assuming they really know their guns and aren’t just using them as props for duck-lip InstaTwitterBook posts. And, I suppose, that some women would really resent gun bunnies for perpetuating the objectification of women in shooting sports but if there’s any merit to that…well..blame the bunny, she’s the one making the videos. Us guys…we just watch ’em.

Personally, I could watch hot gun chicks all day. But, apparently there is a Gun Bunny Rehab. Good girls make other good girls, but I guess sometimes gun bunnies unmake other gun bunnies. Still..funny stuff.

Don Keydick was parking the car

Im a lot of things, some good, some not good, but no one has ever said I don’t have a sense of humour. Usually inappropriate. Case in point – yesterdays trip to pickup some pizza.

Well, it’s not like I was gonna use my real name, right? (And, yes, once in a while it’s Commander Zero’s name up on the board.) It’s just good clean fun, guys….no need to get worked up over it.

I suspect that has the world continues it’s spiral into whatever madness awaits, having a sense of humour (which usually correlates to a heightened sense of irony as well) is gonna come in real handy.
