LOL!! Too funny! Esp the part about the black guys who won’t make eye contact– so true! I will admit that I was at the pub on St. Paddy’s Day and the 2 other black guys in there refused to even acknowledge me. lol I found that hilarious

The fact that they dye the Chicago River green for this is crazy. I mean, ITS OUR WATER SUPPLY! WHAT THE DEUCE!

But the madness insues when I have my friends in the car and we’re driving over the bridge and they are just absolutely thrilled by the green water that they’ve been seeing for EONS here.

Why you gotta throw shade on Kwanzaa????

That ad is just damn foolishness? Flat out!!!

And I don’t get why so many Negroes get excited about St Patrick’s day. It has always confused me. They are quick to point out that everyone is Irish on St Patrick’s day but shun Blackness during Kwanzaa. Just saying.

Try marching in a St. Patrick’s Day parade. I still have nightmares about the beer bottles that flew past my head. I’m with you, Thembi, no thanks. And you know what? They turn the Chicago river green for this s**t! As if that river doesn’t have enough issues. Why?!

I don’t care what the holiday/occasion, using a thin white woman to advertise for a black BBW site is an automatic fail.

But St. Paddy’s Day is also my friend’s birthday so that is the only reason I would ever celebrate, go out, or even remember this holiday.

I haven’t been out on St. Patrick’s Day in years; serious drinkers know that it’s amateur night.

Men like those pictured bring out the Lace Curtain haughtiness in me like little else.

So hilarious. So on point.

I don’t deal with St Paddy’s day. On a regular night white folks are too extra for me (unless I’m drinking alongside) so on St Paddy’s Day? Oh, no THANK you. I’ll stay my behind in the house. The #tomfoolery is too much like undergrad Friday nights, b’cept these are grown people I work with and have to try to look at straight tomorrow morning. Nah. I’ll do them and myself a huge favor.

BUT, I am with fungkeblakchik. Thanks Ireland for Colin. I do appreciate that!

Pierce Brosnan… he is aging like Irish Whiskey and I would not mind a sip.

As for this ad… #HolidayFAIL (know thy audience)
