That's a better post than what I said in my post. I found it actually attractive. Someone was creative in their creation. If it had their company name in Carrie's image, then I'd be less supportive of the image.
I think if it was just the pic it would have been amazing. The "best buns in the galaxy" is where they tripped it up.
Indeed. Chris Klune's is easily better.
Can you provide?
"I married for love. Where does it get you? On the train for Reno."
"LET's have another little DRINKIE!"
" I DETEST mountains!"
L'Amour, l'amour, toujours l'amour.
So did I.
I agree it's not malicious, but I don't think it's in very good taste either. Their hearts seem to be in the right place, but their execution is a bit lacking.
I do agree, however, that Fisher herself probably would have enjoyed the joke.
I think you worded this well. Sometimes social media managers may not fully understand the risks of such posts and it is a shame that this person will probably lose their job over this. In this day and age, any hint of corporate promotion or lack of respect in a message of condolence for a beloved celebrity's death or tragedy can set off a firestorm.
Totally. She called them "Hair don'ts rather than hair dos"! In some ways, Carrie was even MORE plucky and courageous than Leia. [edit] What am I thinking? In EVERY way she was more than an imaginary princess.
RIP Princess, in the galaxy far, far away.
Agreed. Getting worked up over nothing is what Trump does...
Christmas is over so there's no more outrage to be had with the Starbucks Xmas cups. These people gotta to have some other retailers to get outrage with.
I hate false outrage on either side.
Agreed, it seems like a ridiculous overreaction to the tweet.
RAMEN! why the fuck aren't people worked up about donald the dump? are you and I the only sane people in this country?
I agree, she always made jokes about being tied to that iconic image, and I don't find it to be too tasteless..
I don't find this offensive at all, but different strokes for different people, I guess.
In her last TV appearance (8 out of 10 Cats in the UK) Fisher was making jokes about her hairstyle and bread products. Also suggesting to one audience member that it wasn't the best hairstyle to use if you wanted to lose your virginity.
The Cinnabon one is fine.
Smash Mouth is just saying: LOOK AT ME!!!
I agree, and they acknowledged that her buns are better than theirs.
I'm offended by the blatant commercialism more than anything. Trying to turn the death of a beloved actress into a marketing ploy for your product is pretty crass.
I would, and I hope to be roasted at my funeral. No tears on my account. I didn't make my family cry in life and won't do so in death.
Dry roasted?
I want my coffin spring loaded to have me randomly pop up. :)
I thought she was Princess Bagel Ears.
And would have wanted a piece of the action.
Sounds like the anti-rapture, where we're left alone with the jebus nuts.
Coming here is a pretty good punch on that card, tho.
That is a plot point from Douglas Adams' sequel to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe. A civilization is moving from one star system to another. They are going in two great ships. The first carries all the accountants, lawyers, civil servants, insurance salesman, managers, etc. The second ship is to carry all the artists, inventors, philosophers, writers, etc. When Zaphod and the crew of the Heart of Gold find the first ship and start asking questions, it becomes apparent that the second ship never left the home planet.
Mr. Bowie I swear I'm worthy!
Nooo we need you here!
That made me laugh and feel depressed all at the same time!
Wait for me! I'm coming ! Fuck you earth!
After all, he WAS The Man Who Fell to Earth.

Always ask yourself, "Does he have a soul?"
Will he remember the anniversary of your mother's death?
Aw, c'mon, you know how she was. She would have gotten a huge kick out it!
