GREG GUTFELD: Jaguar rebrand has everyone talking when they aren't actually puking

Fox News host Greg Gutfeld and the panel react to Jaguar's "makeover" as the company ditches cars in new ad on 'Gutfeld!'......                    ...                        ...So, as Anheuser-Busch has learned, one bad ad can really mess up your whole year. That company put a transgender person's face on a can of Bud Light – and their stock crashed. Turns out, most guys don't want to mix cheap beer and chicks with ----, and they also don't want to be told that they're bigots for feeling that way. But what about a more upscale brand like, say, luxury cars?......Jaguar just unveiled a new ad campaign. It's got everyone talking when they aren't actually puking. And yes, the obvious point will be made if they're talking about it. And it worked, right? I mean, Alec Baldwin had everyone talking about Rust – not sure if that sold movie tickets. ......What the hell was that? Was that a lineup of all the previous Biden-Harris Cabinet picks? It's weird. It looks like Toucan Sam followed his nose into a huge pile of cocaine. It looked more like a Kudlow hot tub party than a car ad. And look, if I want to see unattractive men in heavy makeup, I'll watch 'Jesse Watters Primetime'. ......You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login......And what's with the slogans? Create exuberance. Was that translated from Fabio's dating profile? Live vivid, sounds like something the handsy drama teacher wrote in everyone's yearbook. Copy nothing – sounds like the Asian kid I sat next to in algebra right before every test. But I haven't seen that many empty slogans since Kamala Harris lost. Of course, all that was missing in the ad was a car. Now, on one level, the ad agency did its job. It made a splash on social media. But then again, if I took a giant dump on a plate of mashed potatoes and put it online, I'm pretty sure that would cause a splash too. Which is the point.......The people Jaguar is appeasing are on social media, which I guess are gay Martian carnival freaks who don't buy Jaguars. But as one Jaguar exec said, the goal is to make you feel uncomfortable. You did it. But if I want to be uncomfortable, I'll go to Brit Hume's annual massage weekend in Sag Harbor.......You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login......If you want to cause distress, you could've saved a whole bunch of money. Just show Joe Biden eating a baby. Now, a lot of people assume Jaguar has gone woke. Well, thanks for connecting the dots, Matlock. Last summer, Jaguar took part in the 'Attitude Awards', which honored gay icons like Elton John and people who aren't Elton John. Jaguar's head of brand strategy, a BLM supporting designer, spoke at the event. ......Ugh, shut the ---- up! It's a car company, for Christ's sake – not drag queen story hour. How about telling me how many cup holders it has? He used more woke buzz words than Joy Reid saying grace on Thanksgiving – diverse, inclusive, unified, culture. I can't believe Biden didn't put him in charge of nuclear waste.......You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login......And he boasted that Jaguar has 15 DEI groups. Now, the last time I checked Pornhub... there aren't that many racists. But it's not just one DEI group – it's 15, which is evidence of the parasitic consequences of a competing but non-profit-making goal. And none of them participate in the company's mission, which is to make a great car that turns a profit instead of its own competing goal, which is self-preservation. ......It only grows like a cancer within every company it inhabits. I'm willing to bet that at Jaguar, there are more DEI administrators than car designers. I can't wait to see what the car looks like. Want to bet it's an automatic – but identifies as a stick?...

He was one of four teens at the time convicted of killing Vickie Deblieux, 37, as she was hitchhiking through Alabama on the way to her mother's You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login. The woman was attacked, beaten and thrown off a cliff.......You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login......Strapped to a gurney with a blue-rimmed gas mask strapped to his face, Grayson raised both of his middle fingers and cursed at the prison warden. When the prison warden asked for his final statement, Grayson responded with an obscenity. The warden turned off the microphone. Grayson appeared to address the witness room with state officials.......It was unclear when the gas began flowing. Grayson shook and pulled against the gurney restraints. His sheet-wrapped legs at one point lifted off the gurney in the air. He then clenched his fist and appeared to struggle to try to gesture again, then took a series of gasping breaths for several minutes before becoming still.......Grayson was pronounced dead at 6:33 p.m.......Alabama began using nitrogen gas earlier this year to carry out some executions. The method involves placing a respirator gas mask over the person's face to replace breathable air with pure nitrogen gas, causing death by lack of oxygen.......The execution was carried out hours after the U.S. Supreme Court turned down Grayson's request for a stay. His attorneys had argued that the method needed more scrutiny before being used again.......Deblieux's mutilated body was found at the bottom of a bluff near Odenville, Alabama, on Feb. 26, 1994. She was hitchhiking from Chattanooga, Tennessee, to her mother's home in West Monroe, Louisiana, when the four teens offered her a ride. Prosecutors said the teens took her to a wooded area and attacked and beat her. They threw her off a cliff and later returned to mutilate her body.......A medical examiner testified that Deblieux's face was so fractured that she was identified by an earlier X-ray of her spine. Investigators said the teens were identified as suspects after one of them showed a friend one of Deblieux's severed fingers and boasted about the killing.......Gov. Kay Ivey issued a statement minutes after Thursday's execution saying she was praying for the murder victim's loved ones to find closure and healing still decades after the crime......."Some thirty years ago, Vicki DeBlieux's journey to her mother's house and ultimately, her life, were horrifically cut short because of Carey Grayson and three other men. She sensed something was wrong, attempted to escape, but instead, was brutally tortured and murdered," Ivey said in the statement.......Grayson's crimes "were heinous, unimaginable, without an ounce of regard for human life and just unexplainably mean. An execution by nitrogen hypoxia (bears) no comparison to the death and dismemberment Ms. DeBlieux experienced," she added.......Grayson was the only one of the four teens who faced a death sentence since the other teens were under 18 at the time of the killing. Grayson was 19. Two of the teens were initially sentenced to death but those sentences were set aside when the Supreme Court banned the execution of offenders who were younger than 18 at the time of their crimes. Another teen involved in Deblieux's killing was sentenced to life in prison.......Grayson's final appeals had focused on a call for more scrutiny of the nitrogen gas method. His lawyers argued that the person experiences "conscious suffocation" and that the first two nitrogen executions did not result in swift unconsciousness and death as the state had promised. Lawyers for the Alabama attorney general's office asked the justices to let the execution proceed, saying a lower court found Grayson's claims speculative.......Alabama maintains the method is constitutional. But critics — citing how the first two people executed shook for several minutes — say the method needs more scrutiny, particularly if other states follow Alabama's path......."The normalization of gas suffocation as an execution method is deeply troubling," said Abraham Bonowitz, executive director of Death Penalty Action, a group seeking to abolish the death penalty.......You are not allowed to view links.
