Fun Game: Bella Hadid Makes Out With A Robot For A Calvin Klein Ad. Calvin Klein Has To Apologize After Backlash. Who Are They Apologizing To?

First of all let me just say I hate doing “people are mad blogs,” I can’t remember the last time I did one. Typically it’s either three people on twitter or the company did it intentionally, to be a rebel brand. Nowadays if you can get an ad out without pissing anyone off then that’s the rebellious move. Oh you didn’t have a soul threaten to burn your headquarters to the ground? Fucking badass, man. GoDaddy used to almost show nipple during the Super Bowl for a little notoriety but if you can send a tweet that makes everyone think, “Yeah, I’m ok with that,” then you’re an outlaw.

But, this one is fun because Calvin Klein did have to apologize. There was enough backlash that they had to come out and say sorry sorry no offense. But who could be so upset? With many apologies and backlashes and “people are mads” I can at least predict WHO is the disgruntled party, I may think that they’re thin skinned or overreacting but I can tell you with certainty which group of people it’s going to be.

So who is it? Could it be hardcore Christians because love is between a man and a woman, not a woman and a robot? No no, can’t be them, they don’t get worked up about jeans, they’re too busy yelling at pregnant rape victims in Alabama that everything happens for a reason and according to God’s plan. Are weird engineers mad because robots can’t consent to kissing? Is it the meninist lunatics, screaming that males are necessary for procreation and if women start being with robots the human race will die out?

None of the above! It’s the LGBTQ+ community because Bella isn’t gay! Once I heard it, I knew I should’ve guessed that one, but honestly it never came to mind. I mean she’s not kissing a woman, she’s kissing a robot. Bella Hadid isn’t being gay, she’s being weird. It kinda reminds me of when Tyler Seguin and Jamie Benn joked that they don’t know what Henrik and Daniel Sedin do behind closed doors, then people got mad they made a gay joke, but it wasn’t a gay joke it was a “those identical twin brothers are weird” joke. Like wait THAT’S what you’re mad at me about? That’s odd your mind went there because there are much stranger things at play here.

So there’s your “who’s mad” update of the day. Never would’ve guessed it but should’ve expected it because “no one can act anymore only people who are exactly like their character can play the role” is the offense du jour lately (it’s currently happening with Rocketman because Taron Edgarton is straight and, you may have heard, Elton John isn’t. Elton John told all those people upset to shut the hell up, Taron is who he wanted to play the role). I’m sad my mind could imagine all those scenarios I guessed at but I am happy I read CK’s apology and learned the word “queerbaiting.” It’s a funny one.

PS – Another fun game is trying to figure out which one is the robot
