Clothing Company Founder Finds Out it's Not a Great Idea to Call His Fox Viewing Customers 'Idiots'

SCOTTeVEST CEO and Co-founder Scott Jordan really stepped in it when he insulted a large swath of his customers last week.

The controversy started when Jordan shared on Facebook how he reacts when people tell him they recognize his face from Fox News, which frequently plays his commercials.

â€œI laugh to myself, and tell them that we primarily advertise on Fox because we find their viewership to be extremely gullible and much easier to sell than other networks," he wrote in part. â€œI get to tell them they are f***ing idiots while getting rich off them.â€

What the heck was he thinking?

The designs are engineered to distribute the weight of the loaded pockets evenly across the garment, maintaining a slim, non-bulky silhouette.

One signature design feature is incorporated channels for threading wires and flexes, inspired by an accident Jordan had after snagging the cable of his headphones on a door-handle while running through an airport.

Sounds perfect for a suicide bombing. That'll really help the stock value.

@mountaineer

Our Response To Scott Jordan's Comments

The recent offensive and inexcusable social media post by Scott Jordan does not reflect the views of SCOTTeVEST. In 2017, Mr. Jordan stepped down from the management of SCOTTeVEST and he is not involved in our daily operations.

We are extremely sorry for his unacceptable comments. Mr. Jordanâ€™s post was impulsive and inappropriate for too many reasons to list, and rightfully offended so many people.

We strongly disagree with the views expressed by Mr. Jordan.

He's still chairman, he still makes money off Scottevest, and the Scott in Scottevest is him.

He should've listened to that other Jordan...."Republicans buy shoes, too."

Sometimes it is nice when being totally effing stupid hurts you. Better if it hurts the wallet.

And likely still holds considerable ownership in the company which means his net worth is still declining.

He should take some time off and go on a massive coke binge, like the My Pillow dude.

@edpc

You mean the middle-aged guy from MN we sometimes see on tv ads?

Maybe he can use that in his ads? "My pillows allow you to sleep so good you might have to toot a ton of coke to stay awake to see the 11 PM news!"

You'd probably be happy to put your head on a cinder block after being awake for 19 days.

@edpc

Sounds like he really turned his life and his attitude around,and became one of the good guys.

I'm not going to take any cheap shots at religion,either. If it works for you,I'm happy for you,and I am happy to read it worked for him.

I just find it highly amusing that his dealers staged the intervention. Seems like it's bad for business to have your best customer keel over.

Patagonia is the worse about this SJW stuff. Very, very, far Leftwing company. They make Starbucks look normal in comparison.

No, but he's using Christ's suffering and resurrection as a business prop. Who wears a cross necklace outside a shirt?

Looks how awkwardly it's placed here:

I suppose Christ gets 10% royalties, though.

It's a violation of the spirit of Matthew 6:5a:

Quote

5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. --KJV

Bill Penzey, owner of Penzey's Spices, also has chosen to insult half of his customers by going on an insane anti-Republican rant on Facebook. I've posted a thread about it.

@edpc

Seems contrary to the nature of drug dealers,doesn't it? Maybe they just didn't want to lose a customer that spent a lot of money?

It seems even less likely 3 of them would get together to do it. I strongly suspect that this part of the story,at a minimum,has been grossly exaggerated.

Lots of people. I've seen it my whole life. Mostly with women,but lots of "born again" men do it,too.

@sneakypete

I knew a stripper once who used to dance with her First Communion Scapular. It was refreshing to see her conviction.
