Seriously, just saw an IHOP commercial. They can't say Thanksgiving? They referred to it as the Fall Holiday?

Done.

Probably because of the.......you know........indians (whispered)

I have no knowledge of the strategy behind this. But perhaps it's so they could run the TV commercial past November 23, and have it apply to things like the beginning of Advent. Who knows? It's kinda ridiculous just to assume they're boycotting the word "Thanksgiving." The message is that kids eat free every day. Contrary to popular belief here, most advertisers don't look to ever narrow their customer base, but rather to broaden most messages to apply to everyone, everywhere, anytime.

Might want to get out from under that rock. Advertisers are more interested in appeasing the woke mind virus than in the customer base. That's been evident for a while.

I wonder if it might be more of being afraid of being seen as being insensitive to the causes being espoused.

False. Advertisers are interested in selling the most products. Period.

Back in my day, we had to walk to school and home barefoot and uphill both ways.

Ok. You're right. I'm wrong. I should have realized my 28 years in the industry was but a statistically insignificant sample size of information compared to your expertise. My apologies.

That's funny, according to the Columbia, Missouri school district fall break was last month and Thanksgiving break is next week. That is where you live, right?

Also, funny that here in the land of loonies they still call it Thanksgiving break per San Diego ISD and a few other area school districts.

I already said that on here.

Sorry your little gotcha didn't work.

Some places are calling it that

If you have to boycott IHOP, I am sure they will miss you.

Its hilarious how emotional people are getting about this. And worse...calling people anti-American because they posit why they might call it Fall Holiday. WGAS. Don't go to IHOP. Thank goodness folks on here do nothing but post outrage rather than act on it. I may not agree with the marketing idea to call it Fall Holiday but my kids school will be on Fall Break next week and part of that week includes Thanksgiving. We can have both folks. Many you'd hate to be a part of some of these folks personal lives where this kind of things gets them wound up. Laughing hard while shaking head but still pensive emoji.

Odd that Tanya says that. We were at our Ozark ranch in southern MO and the Marquee signs in front of most of the schools down there say what dates they will be closed for" Thanksgiving". However they also closed the schools last Friday and Monday for opening of firearm deer season…., so maybe a cultural difference from Columbia MO libs and southern Missouri conservative hillbillies?

Maybe because we are sick of how it's headed and what's rammed down our throats by the woke minions.

No one's emotional. No one's wound up. No one's outraged. Stop gaslighting. Unless you've been asleep the last ten years, you know that these companies go out of their way to not offend certain folks. It's a political topic.

"The fall holiday" is not referring to your kids' break. Stop being obtuse.

I don't drink anymore so I don't know but after putting about half a second of thought into it, I'm going to guess it's an accumulation of years of wokeness grinding people's nerves.

Why some of you (there's another poster who does this with almost every single post) keep trying to gaslight others by taking one example of wokery (yes I just made that up) and pretending like it's some standalone occurrence and not the ten millionth example in just the last year alone I will never understand. Are you here just to defend and gaslight? Is your brain truly incapable of seeing the 30k foot view? It's bizarre.

Also, I'm sure the marketing chick talking trash about BL's customer base probably had something to do with it as well. Thinking is hard.

Oh, it didn't go on TV so it doesn't count.

Somebody should tell Google because they make millions of dollars in ad revenue and the ads are not on TV. They don't count! ROFL. Instagram doesn't count. YouTube doesn't count. Tik Tok doesn't count.

Oh…so you weren't really curious. Just playing stupid. That's what I thought.

Reminds me of some of my Muslim friends say "Happy Festivities" instead of Christmas. Go figure.

Some groups are so hateful and bigoted that even mentioning the name makes them feel like they are committing blasphemy.

Ever heard the term "viral". I guess not.

I hear of lots of things going viral. I pay attention to the ones I'm interested in or affect me. I don't drink Bud Light, and if they feel like they need to expand their market share and market virally to the gays, I don't care. I never saw that ad campaign first hand, and since it was a one-time thing on this guy's IG, I'm willing to bet you didn't either.

How about this Thanksgiving commercial from Scheels?

I have been seeing it a lot on my youtube videos.

Yes, let's go against historical American traditions and completely change our American culture because leftists and a teacher troll on TexAgs says the new name is fall break.

The anti-American rot of our culture is disgusting.

---

I never said it is the new name.

My child has a Thanksgiving break.

But other schools call it fall break.
That is all I said.

Have a good Thanksgiving.
Be thankful for what you have

---

That's a backpedal Tanya. You didn't say your child has Thanksgiving break, you said "It's called fall break", then called him delicate. You're out of your lane here. It's been called Thanksgiving break for decades and only changed when Obama got in office.

---

I call it Thanksgiving Break but the school district calls it Fall Break. She's right on this one.

But you don't know the meaning.

I learned about the ad on TexAgs. Because it has gone viral.

Your assertion was that we all had to be hanging out on Dylan's Instagram to be aware of it, which is wrong.

When you don't understand concepts, ChatGPT is a good resource to learn. It's free.

My assertion is that it wasn't something that was broadcast in to your home during halftime of the Super Bowl. You found out about it...likely without ever seeing it...and chose to be outraged over something you heard about second-hand.

Sorry man, I've got a life to lead, and spending time fretting over some decision a half-wit marketing director makes in an effort to expand market share of a product I don't and won't buy isn't a priority.

That's something we have in common.

The difference is, I don't play dumb just so I can condescend to others.

It's perfectly natural to care when you watch your culture and traditions being erased bit by bit, all done proactively by liberals to protect some unseen and unheard group who "could be" offended.

Each little insult is insignificant by itself, but if people don't push back, the virtue signaling gets louder and louder, and eventually, it DOES matter.

People who come on bulletin boards and say "Why do you care so much?" when these issues arise are simply gaslighting. They know perfectly well why people care.

They care because it's not right, it's not necessary, and it's offensive to the many millions of Americans who believe holidays such as Thanksgiving and Christmas have real meaning and add value to our lives.
