In an online post the owner of SCOTTeVEST did not have kind words to say about Fox viewers while explaining why he advertised on the network. The company was quick to point out he stepped down last year but the damage is done.

His comments are basically the same arguments made for why people watch Fox News. What I don't get is the relevance to his product. A vest with a lot of pockets.

Reminds me of an ad I heard on Sirius the other day with an ominous voice proclaiming they were the NSA and you have been visiting a lot of conservative new sites. As such you are now branded a terrorist. At least on that one I can understand the logic on targeting a certain segment.

Jordan, in the post, was recounting how many people tell him they see his ads on Fox News.

"I laugh to myself, and tell them that we primarily advertise on Fox because we find their viewership to be extremely gullible and much easier to sell than other networks," Jordan wrote in the post.

He added in the post: "I get to tell them they are (expletive) idiots while getting rich off them.

Everyone knows that Roger Ailes died laughing for the very same reason.

Trump said the same thing in a nicer way- "I love the uneducated".

Honorary Trump U graduates, all of them.

Trump is still collecting on their student fees though. Those degrees cost money. They're so beautiful and the best.

Yep, quality of ads on Fox and AM News radio tells you pretty much all you need to know about modern day conservatives.

Just musing here: Perhaps the company had already squeezed most the juice out of the low hanging fruit already, and decided to move on. What better way to entice a new demographic, than to crap on the old one they are at ideological odds with. It is not difficult to imagine hipsters and the like making it the new fashion statement because old cons have boycotted it. Old dems would serve just as well, sort of a MAGA hat level of triggering.

I'm guessing he still owns stock though, and this gives them plausible deniability. "We do not condone his comments, we value all of our customers and think they are intelligent for buying our superior products!"

And that is why things are going to get worse. There's major money to be made by playing people against each other. In fact, that's what is almost hilarious about the various conservative groups is that they've openly talked about using various common selling/business tactics to rope people in, and then they turn around and use cult/ideology tactics to sell them shit and get rich off of them. Just like gun manufacturers figured out how to use the NRA to gaslight the fuck out of gun nuts to get them to buoy their industry as the number of individual people buying guns continues to decline.

I think he's trying to torpedo the company after being forced out with a serious bundle of cash. It's FYGM for his former customers *and* company. Waving his dick right in their faces.

The honesty is refreshing in a twisted sort of way.
