The thing is, VMP now has a high-profile employee that likes to make very-public questionable videos, many of which are not funny, but rather insulting.
This shows poorly on VMP and the type of people they choose to associate with, and especially to put on their payroll to represent their company.
If you choose to ignore this and buy products from them anyway, then so be it, it's your option to do so.
There are obviously many that won't do that.
Regardless of which camp you're in, resorting to insults and put-downs toward the other "camp" is childish and certainly uncalled for.
Reminds me of all the political B.S. ... as soon as a Trump supporter doesn't like what somebody says, that person is automatically a "snowflake" or "libtard".
And really, there's enough political talk elsewhere, we don't need anymore of it on here, and I'm already sorry I brought it up.

It's time for people to grow some ***** and stop being offended. His MGW video was hilarious and frankly I am more likely to buy a VMP.

Well I will say this
At least this is in the right forum
I think the OP posted an informative, opinionated take on the situation as to let others know what's going on if they choose to take heed of it is completely up to the reader. As far as I can tell it's truthful obviously and for those that are concerned with topics such as this, they are now informed. And those that don't care can simply look if they wish and ignore it if they wish and move on.
Everyone thinks something is funny until the joke is on them eventually.
And yes there are many varying degrees of sensitivity in the world.
But personal attacks between members in this thread or any other will not be tolerated.
If you don't like it move along.

If you have to ask, you're already enjoying it. Besides, based on the posts you've thanked here, I call BS on your "curiosity."
This is what's wrong with America. Sensitive people having their feelings hurt and the silencing of others through censoring and legal action.
It's time for people to grow some ***** and stop being offended. His MGW video was hilarious and frankly I am more likely to buy a VMP.

BTW, I love that all it takes for you to open your wallet is someone being hateful and childish. I bet you're in wonderful financial shape.
So you're going to patronize them...nice. They offer some great stuff. Please let us know what you bought from them and prove that you're not just posturing here to look like a big shot. No, a sticker or an oil filter doesn't count...also, please ask them if your business would have been welcome if you had a different sexual orientation.

me??? Uh no.
this guy has been around a while. Every so often he posts something unbelievably stupid or mean spirited. There's one video where he was ranting about "inexperienced squids" or something at the drag strip and how people shouldn't show up there until they practiced on the street.
No joke. He might have pulled that one. I can't find it.

It'd be interesting to see how this thread would have played out and what the responses would have been if this guy was doing a similar vid about black stereotypes.
Perhaps in blackface, speaking in an uneducated, ghetto slang dialect, pondering if they made a Mustang with a trunk big enough to haul a load of watermelons, or if the interior was stain resistant to fried chicken grease, and does the console have a holder for foodstamps.
Methinks the responses to this thread and the attitude toward the company he represents would be slightly different.

[QUOTE=MRGTX;7018810[B]]You might have noticed that the kind of behavior and communication that you're endorsing (i.e. naked bigotry) isn't allowed on this forum. [/B]Do you have a guess as to why that is? Think it over and get back to us...and no, it's not because forums like this one are overly sensitive or whatever.
Would you care to show where I have endorsed any bigotry?
