    I mean sure, but the joke undercuts the message a bit and makes him sound ill informed. It’s like being anti war and saying “If you’re thinking about joining the US military, I will pay you to join Russia instead.”

        I didn’t say it was a big deal. But the joke doesn’t make sense and is therefore not a good joke. It’s just not a good look when the first thing you see in an article is a contradiction. These people need media coaching.

          It’s a perfectly fine joke. They are protesting Wendy’s actively at the moment and not McDonald’s. The guy didn’t do a research project before his quip, who cares. You are saying there is an issue here when there isn’t one, at all.

            A research project? It would’ve taken a single Google search to find an appropriate restaurant to name. Just because you’re apathetic and lazy, doesn’t mean everyone else has to be or has to excuse it. And a lot of people who read that article are going to point it out. If you look misinformed, people aren’t going to take you seriously. It harms the cause, whether it should or not. That’s why media training is necessary. It’s not a “perfectly fine” joke.

              Yes it is. There is no issue here, you are inventing one. 99.99% of people are not going to care about this. At all.

                Well I have experience in marketing and PR, and I’m guessing you do not. It’s not a good thing that it was printed. Again I already said it wasn’t a huge deal, but it shouldn’t have been said. The main reason there won’t be an issue is because no one reads rabble.

                You’re really underestimating the bullshit people will latch onto (consciously or not) in order to discredit an activist or cause.

                  It wouldn’t be an issue under any circumstance. Do you talk to real people at all? When people make quips in your presence do you fact check them? If you do, I highly suggest you stop doing that. For your own benefit.

                    You know an easy way to avoid the fact checking issue? Don’t make jokes about shit you hardly understand. I’m telling you from a PR standpoint, if they said this on a bigger stage, it would very much be an issue. I have years of experience in the field. Where do you get your argument from, just talking out of your ass all of the time? If so, I highly suggest you stop doing that. For your own benefit.
