Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Among the star-studded Super Bowl ads that viewers saw during Sunday’s game was an awkward 30-second spot, filmed vertically on an iPhone, in which the rapper Ye talks about his new teeth and instructs the audience to go to Yeezy.com.

As of the morning after the game, when they visited the site, shoppers could find exactly one item for sale: a white T-shirt emblazoned with a swastika.

Took a screenshot. Not happy about uploading a picture of a swastika, but wanted to capture it in case he backtracks.

Thank you for your sacrifice, current site:

Boy, that HH-01 product description is a really great touch. Fucking shit.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Only if they had 88 products would that be any more on the nose.

[–] overload@sopuli.xyz 12 points 1 year ago

To think I'd upvote a swastika picture.. but here we are.

Oh to be so rich that getting high at the dentist could result in buying superbowl ad space and shooting said ad immediately on selfie cam.

I probably wouldn't use the ad space to sell a mega basic Nazi t-shirt though...

Getting high at the dentist is very profitable if you're a terrible person. It resulted in L. Ron Hubbard starting Scientology.

And the Beatles first LSD trip!

I don't know that they were/are all terrible people. John Lennon was though. George seemed like an okay guy.

I met him on an aircraft a couple of months ago. He seemed so scared to be recognized. I said nothing to respect other passengers and the flight attendants but I'd have loved to have called him a nazi. Btw the flight was headed to Dubai.

Edit: I recognized him because he asked the flight attendants how to connect to the internet (you simply connect to the WiFi and you're done??). His brain is cooked

Should a done it man. Shame these fucks.

[–] sheridan@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Isn't he wealthy enough to fly privately anywhere?

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

For some reason people stopped buying his products. It's a mystery really.

[–] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago

Is it made in America though?

Some people in America will get upset if it isn’t.

As of 2025, a 30-second Super Bowl commercial costs $8 million

And the worst part is, I have no trouble believing he's going to make a profit from it.

[–] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What a weird timeline we live in where a black man can make money selling half a million Nazi t-shirts to football fans.

[–] Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

Assuming the shirts are print on demand, there's a tiny amount of profit in that. I'm betting he just flushed 8 million down the toilet.

[–] Zannsolo@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

I have figured it out. Kanye West is actually Andy Kaufman and this is his final troll.

[–] Zier@fedia.io 16 points 1 year ago

Would be real sad if a DDOS happened to a yeezy. What a fucking nut job this freak is.

[–] friend_of_satan@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

If anything says pure aryan blood, it's definitely not Kanye. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_racial_theories

The Nazis considered the putative "Aryan race" a superior "master race" with Germanic peoples as representative of Nordic race being best branch, and they considered Jews, mixed-race people, Slavs, Romani, Black People, and certain other ethnicities racially inferior subhumans, whose members were only suitable for slave labor and extermination.

We're so close to the plot of iron sky
