Of course you don’t because their records were smashed and they were never heard of again.

One of my "co-workers" was a horrible lady, and she hated me for some reason (probably because I'm quiet and keep to myself).
At the time I would listen to the Beatles a lot while I'm working (among other bands)—with headphones on.
One time I heard her say, "Ha! The Beatles! They made a big mistake by saying they were bigger than Jesus! That ended their careers!"
It was quiet for a moment.
I finally said, "You're wrong. They had some of their best selling songs and albums after John Lennon said that. In fact, if anything, it helped them by giving them a rough edge."
No comment.
I really hated that lady.

breathers are indeed slavishly following the Hannity Diktat:

http://uk.businessinsider.com/keurig-boycott-coffee-machine-smashing-videos-2017-11?r=US&IR=T

Social-media users on Sunday posted videos of themselves smashing their Keurig coffee makers, two days after the company said it would no longer advertise during Hannity's show.

Keurig and other companies faced pressure to pull their ads following Hannity's interview with Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore, who is facing allegations he engaged in sexual misconduct with a 14-year-old girl and dated several teenagers while he was in his 30s.

Critics of the interview said Hannity went too easy on Moore. By Saturday, several companies including Keurig, 23andMe, and E-Trade all announced they would pull their ads.

Supporters of Hannity soon lashed out at Keurig on social media and began circulating the hashtag #BoycottKeurig. A few went as far as to record themselves destroying their coffee makers in an act of defiance.


Videos at the link. You really can't fix stupid.

Destroying your coffee maker for a faux made up outrage.

How stupid.

Monday morning. Many people cannot function until they have coffee.

Coffee shops may do very well next Monday. Lots of RWNJ's will show up for the first time.

A lot of those idiots will regret what they have done and buy new Keurig's. The company will only make more money.

Who would invest in a clown who will attack you the moment you disagree with him over a prime moral issue and seek to distance from something so sleazy and perverted?

the "kool-aid" you've been drinking didn't come from your coffee machine!

But hey, don't forget, FORD has also pulled their ads. Don't forget to send the tapes!
