In a new segment called Jesus Christ Superstore, “The Nightly Show” host Larry Wilmore on Wednesday night took on two big box chains: Lowe’s and Target.
First up was Target’s recent move to remove gendered labels from its toy, entertainment, and bedding aisles, which Wilmore said he noticed while shopping for a “combination riding-mower-beer-cozy-Cheez-It-dispenser.” The store’s decision to stop gendering children’s items came under fire from critics like Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade, who worries it will confuse parents.
Wilmore said their children have larger concerns to focus on, like learning “facial recognition.”
He then turned to Lowe’s, which made headlines this week when a white customer in Virginia refused to allow a veteran Lowe’s employee to make a delivery to her house because he was black. The store acquiesced to her complaint, sending a white deliveryman in his place.
As Wilmore put it, “Everyone probably should have known there would be trouble when her order was just nails, two planks of wood, and some gasoline.”
I give the guy’s co-worker full props for refusing to do the delivery with a new co-worker…
I see the Confederacy has got a new gimmick.
“Naw, I don’t like that teacher”
“Naw, I don’t like that dentist”
“Naw, I don’t like that policeman”
:Naw, I don’t like that flight attendant"
Might work…with enough dumb…
“The store’s decision to stop gendering children’s items came under fire from critics like Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade, who worries it will confuse parents.”
…And Kilmeade should know this demo since “confused parents” represent the largest chunk of Kilmeade viewers next to “66-100 year-olds”
I said this elsewhere, but both those drivers come off like super nice guys. Over the top nice. And their accents are over the top, too.
Well, he’s probably worried that boys playing with My Little Pony are going to grow up to be gay…
