Woke Craziness of The Day

, , , ,

Woke hypersensitivity and downright insanity keeps on coming every day, as this NY Post story proves.

Amazon has changed its new smartphone app logo after critics said the earlier incarnation was a dead ringer for Adolf Hitler.

The e-commerce giant introduced the new icon in January to replace the symbol of a shopping cart with one featuring a brown box with a jagged piece of blue tape above the company’s iconic smile-shaped arrow.

But sharp-eyed users noticed the tape disturbingly recalled the Führer’s toothbrush mustache. [!???- JDZ]

“It’s not just a ripped scotch tape, it’s a ripped scotch tape that has a similar shape and is right on top of a smiling mouth. Looks like a happy little cardboard Adolf to me,” one person said on Twitter.

“Amazon’s new app logo be lookin like they’re the THIRD most downloaded in the ‘Reich’ section,” another said, referring to the Nazi regime.

Users also took note of Amazon’s tweak, in which the blue tape was made to look folded over.

“lmao I completely missed that amazon quietly tweaked its new icon to make it look… less like hitler,” one wrote.

“Unsurprisingly they did not send out a press release to announce the second redesign.”

One thing that has obviously changed in America in recent years is that the adults have all died off or retired and our institutions and consumer corporations are now all run by sniveling sheep who can be stampeded in any direction, who can be intimidated into making preposterous concessions, by noisy crazies.

If somebody had come along a few decades ago and proposed tearing down statues of Columbus, George Washington, or Robert E. Lee, if some looney took offense at Uncle Ben or Aunt Jemima, the people in charge would have made circular motions with an index figure beside their temple or responded with cuckoo noises. Today, the nonentities and poltroons running the world instantly grovel and hasten to comply with the demands of the sort of people who used to be locked up safely in rooms with mattresses on the walls in lunatic asylums. If I said this on Facebook today, I’d probably get 30 days in Facebook jail for using the phrase “lunatic asylum.”

Amazon has also banned The Little Engine That Could because “I think I can” is a racist thought — acting white. Also the engine is responsible for climate change because it is powered by coal.

Asserting that it resembled Adolf Hitler (dead ringer) made me laugh out loud. Actually, was more of an amused snort.

I’ve always thought the long used swoosh graphic is phallic. I don’t say so out loud any more because doing so got me some odd looks, particularly from women.
