Jack McCain Fires Back at Racist Morons, Defends Old Navy

John McCain may be sitting out the 2016 Presidential election, but the former candidate’s son made a few headlines this week.


For an admirable reason.



Jack McCain jumped on Twitter on Monday after the Internet does what the Internet far too often does:


Act all crazy and stupid and really, really, really racist.


In this case, McCain felt a need to get involved in a debate over a new Old Navy ad that features a white man, an African-American woman and their mixed-race son.


If you don’t see the problem with that… well… you are not crazy, stupid and really racist.


The poster went viral last Friday when the retail chain offered a 30 percent discount to its customers via a Tweet that depicted this interracial family simply standing around and looking happy.


But because some people are crazy and stupid and racist, they wrote responses such as:


Absolutely disgusting. What’s next? Gender neutral bathrooms? Pedophilia acceptance propaganda!? Never shopping here again.


And also: Stop promoting miscegenation or else I’m taking my $ $ $ elsewhere.



Jack McCain could not sit idly by and let these bigots win.


“To the people upset about the #OldNavy #Scandal” of a picture of a mixed race marriage, eat it,” he wrote along with the photo above, which includes his wife, Air Force Reserve Captain Renee Swift, who is black.


A short while later, the Navy lieutenant shared a second picture (below), this one from their 2013 wedding in San Francisco.


“I hope this one burns too, you ignorant racists,” he wrote.


From there, Swift got in on the action, posting a third image of her and Jack and writing:


“I was just in @OldNavy this weekend! Bought something for me and my husband. #LoveWins.”



There’s not much more we need to add, so we’ll let McCain have the final words via an interview with The Navy Times:


The mere fact that this is a conversation in the year 2016 is disheartening enough, and why this type of response – like the one aimed at Old Navy – merits conversation.


I did not intend for this level of exposure. Mostly, I wanted to take a principled stand on an issue that shouldn’t be one in the first place.


If there is one result I could hope for out of all of this furor, it would be helping to ensure that intolerance has no place in service, or in our national discourse.

Kendra Wilkinson Appears to Actually Be Filming a Music Video

Well… the world of music had a good run, didn’t it?


But the whole song recording industry is clearly far past its prime, what with Kylie Jenner now serving as an occasional rapper and Kendra Wilkinson filming a new music video.



Yes, that is apparently really happening.


Kendra Wilkinson is apparently filming a music video.


We don’t know how else to interpret her string of Instagram photos, nearly all of which makes a reference to… a music video.


It appears to be for a song titled “Lost in Space.”


“So hyped right now for my music video. Take one!!!! #LostInSpace,” Kendra wrote as a caption to the image above.


And while it’s hard to imagine Kendra actually singing, the former Playboy centerfold has made it impossible for us to stop imagining her dancing with a robot.


Because she also included the following photo of herself… dancing with a robot.



“Amazing day today. Can’t wait for you guys to see my music video. #LostInSpace,” Kendra captioned the above picture.


What would cause Wilkinson to become an artist, which is a term we’re using very loosely in this case?


It’s hard to say.


Perhaps the topless video she starred in to honor Hugh Hefner on his 90th birthday?


Perhaps the fact that she and Hank Baskett have gotten all the mileage they can out of his supposed affair with a transgender model and she needs a new way to garner headlines?


All we know is this: we’re very, very, very afraid.



“Getting harnessed in… You know I had to.Oh shit I forgot I’m a mom n I can’t do this anymore. #lostinspace,” Kendra captioned this final picture of her on set.


Wilkinson certainly isn’t the first non-singer to think she can sing, as documented in the gallery below.


But that doesn’t make this a good idea.

Kate Middleton: Too Vain! Only Cares About Her Appearance!

First of all, the Photoshop job on this cover is terrible.



Second of all, someone at Celebrity Dirty Laundry must be either jealous or deeply offended by the Duchess of Cambridge’s appearance, because they are ruthless with their story on the OK! cover.


“Kate Middleton’s obsession with diet and exercise has Prince William concerned the Duchess of Cambridge is much, much too vain,” Celebrity Dirty Laundry alleges.


“It’s all about appearances for Kate, who thinks she’s some kind of movie star and supermodel.


“Queen Elizabeth and Camilla Parker-Bowles are disgusted with this superficial cover girl and her commoner standards.”


OK!’s latest issue lifted a photo from a tennis workshop engagement Catherine took part in back in February (and colored it pink), and plopped it against a photo of Buckingham Palace.


And while “sources” in the story insist that Catherine doesn’t “starve” herself to be thin, CDL gripes that “deep down William knows he is now stuck with a wife who has horrible low class Hollywood values.”


“The second-in-line to the throne probably wishes he had married an aristocrat who understands the duties of a Royal wife,” the story claims.



Catherine has always been very athletic; she’s said to love yoga, running, tennis and skiing in particular.  


“Even if it’s just 15 minutes, [Kate] does something to get her heart pumping every day,” a source told the magazine.


The OK! story also highlights her dedication to organic cooking for her family (lean meats, vegetables and fruit), which CDL claims is a cover for what she really does.


“Rather take on serious charity work as Princess Diana did, Kate Middleton’s days are filled with extreme dieting and exercising between trips to the plastic surgeon for a nip here and a tuck there,” CDL writes.


“This future Queen is ridiculously self-absorbed and has no idea how to exemplify the Royal values of duty to crown and country, hard work and self-sacrifice.


“Insiders try to pass of the superficial values by saying Kate just wants to be healthy and make certain Prince William, Prince George, and Princess Charlotte are too.”


Someone needs a hug.  And maybe a sedative.
