I don't mind gifs but I wish they didn't look like they were pulled from a grammar school kid's computer.

Their reaction is not surprising when you consider this is the corporation that continues to support Lisa Rinna.  The names and terms she used couldn't get much worse.


@Kachina624  when QVC's Exec made the statement, " The language shown was in direct contradiction to our values at QVC"......  I immediately thought of Lisa Rinna.....(great minds DO think alike) Smiley Wink

Yep, that's how it often is today.

No on air apology statement to the tv viewers? confused.gif

 

I knew about the other thread.  And just like this one, it appears no posters saw this incident/presentation.  Strange......

It's a shame this happened, but face it.  Some horrible racist and homophobic remarks have been made here on this forum and they stayed far longer than they should have.  The posters weren't all banned either.

 

Overt racism is making a strong comeback in this country.  It's appalling and sickening.

I don't believe this was deliberate on QVC's part nor do I believe they were hacked.  I do believe some no goodnick (employee) did this because they could.   We're living in a world where people have no filter, want to 'tell it like it is" and such.

 

I don't watch QVC, if I want to buy an item, I go on line.  I'm surprised it took the PTB so long to make an apology.

Why is there a cartoon fish on this thread?  Apparently @shell garden has acquired these things and is sticking them in her posts.  Very annoying as they have nothing to do with the subject.

It is a taking the bait cartoon.
