Comments on: Promoting ignorance . . . the Pinkberry way http://dropthejuicer.wordpress.com/2007/06/22/7/ the campaign Mon, 09 Nov 2009 14:53:52 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Mina http://dropthejuicer.wordpress.com/2007/06/22/7/#comment-108 Mina Sat, 01 Nov 2008 17:36:59 +0000 http://dropthejuicer.wordpress.com/2007/06/22/7/#comment-108 The "Is Pinkberry Facing a Juicing Scandal?" article was offensive in the sense that blame was pointed in the wrong direction. The opening line: "Really, should a company founded and run by Asian-Americans sell these products?" Like really? It'd be more offensive if non-Asians sold these "mandarin juicers" in their shop. It'd be even more offensive if a non-Asian designed these products. Oh wait, Alessi... That name rings a bell. They're the Italian design company. Oh yeah, Stefano Giovannoni... He's the Italian who designs for Alessi. Let's stop pointing fingers at the wrong people. Message for the one who wrote this article, write about Abercrombie & Fitch's RACISM towards Asians before writing another ridiculous article about Pinkberry. Now Abercrombie & Fitch... their shirts literally scream RACISM. Want proof? http://www.tow.com/2002/04/18/abercrombie-and-fitch-protest/ The “Is Pinkberry Facing a Juicing Scandal?” article was offensive in the sense that blame was pointed in the wrong direction.

The Fact that they removed them immediately and have their "representatives" making postings about it shows that they know they were wrong and that they were selling an offensive product in their stores!! It's that simple. Pinkberry will do anything to make a dollar (anything, except sell healthy frozen yogurt, that is). They open stores so fast that they have hundreds of rats in them. They say they are healthy and then the NY Times investigates and proves they are full of preservatives and unhealthy additives. Then they sell offensive, racist items in their stores. I even heard they had a store close in California because they had sewage leaking into the kitchen and storage room. What is gonna happen next, pinkberry? Let's see how long it is until you screw up again! If it wasn’t offending and it wasn’t wrong, Pinkberry would have kept selling them.

The juicer is quite cute... And by the way, why should two Koreans step in for a product related to Chinese? "Yi He Wei Ben" (Everything should base on peace/harmony) is the basic Chinese doctrine... As a Chinese who is proud of my own culture, I would admire the design and laugh at this mess you guys are creating...

And even if I was, what is it to you? You like to compartmentalize people and define them by your stupid definitions. Why don't you go phuk your mother since you are telling everybody to do it? You obviously haven't resolved your Oedipus complex. You really need some psychological counseling. I would pity you, but I don't think you're worth it. You're just a stupid, little troll.

I know what kaffir or kafir means and it's disgusting. figures that a conservative like you would harp on that term. it's the same as using an antiquated term like "niggardly" why? again, why? why is it that you conservatives love using the term PC? why? why, is it political? or related to politics? why, why again? you're just a hateful person. did you phuk your mother yet? stop trying to be white and look in the mirror. and go phuk your mother. you make yourself look bad, you’re not white. again, you’re not white.
