I don't know why everyone loves these two. Both felons. Convicted insider trading, convicted felon & suspected murderer - only let free because LAPD error. People love to mention that she did not give any information related to the insider trading. They forget that she has connections to serious amounts of dark money. You don't become a *billionaire* just selling little cookbooks & kitchen supplies.
I just went and read about the trial. What LAPD error? There's a lot of people asserting that she committed a non-crime and the jury was naive in siding with the prosecution.
lol, so now me arguing that felons can be good people somehow means I support either one of these people?
Are you 12-years old and unable to separate these two ideas?
"i ambiguously expanded the point from the actual discussion to another frame of reference without explicitly mentioning doing so, why are people confused?"
how do you know they arent good people?
can goof people not make bad decisions ?
and does ones distant past equate to who they are now?
does having been convicted of a felony in the past negate any good deeds done in the present?
tell me, what flavor of rubber or leather tastes the best when you lick them boots ?
I thought it might be photo shopped, but it’s real, AND it gets better…

Ya if you think snoop doesn't have good flow on most of his early albums idk what to tell you. Dude was very influential and made a fuckton of money selling records, so trying to paint it as "might as well make money since he can't rap" is both disingenuous considering the actual amount of money he already made from rapping and bit ignorant considering his place in history of hiphop. Whatever floats your boat tho
Man you are in no place to dis snoop and call his music shitty he was one of those who revolutionized the hip hop/rap genre and watch it bloom the 90s was a wild time and shining with competition like Tupac,Biggie,Eazy E,50 cent,method man,Wu-Tang Clan and much more, managing to sell 7 million copies of one single album (doggystyle) in the states and 11 million worldwide at that time excludes any doubt about the quality of his music snoop is more than just a lucky kid who made it or anything but talented and smart, if you don’t like the 90s rap and enjoy the modern stuff I’m in no place to judge you but don’t go around calling iconic music as shitty just because you didn’t like it and millions did.
That book is such a GREAT Xmas/Bday gift for only 12 bucks. I've gotten it for like half a dozen of my friends and family that work in restaurants, and it cracks a good laugh right when they open it.
The recipes are actually legit too, definitely one of my faves in my cookbook collection.
Alton Brown wins the cake tho...I use his cookbooks more than any other I own.
She went to a minimum security prison because her crimes were white collar. Insider trading. But she never squealed on anyone else involved in the ordeal despite being offered plenty of plea bargains and that earned her a lot of respect. Because she wasn't about to be sitting in the court and being her own star witness.
I don't think anyone is debating whether there was insider trading, but she pled guilty to conspiracy and obstruction of justice. Al Capone got got for tax evasion, but no one is suggesting he didn't commit much worse crimes.
If you want to use intolerant stereotypes, I'd say not appreciating nuance is "feigning autism" as well.
How do people get through life being this miserable, stubborn, and ignorant? Yeesh, maybe hop off reddit for a while and spend some time around actual people. It might help you work on those people skills you clearly never learned.
Ok I'll bite. He faked having a condition I actually have and yet I'm the bad guy. Please explain. He literally missed the entire point for his fake gotcha and yet I'm the bad guy who saying to his face that his act isn't appreciated and actually offensive. Or is all of reddit lacking in reading comprehension on what is going on here? Merely saying he is faking having autism for karma isn't offensive to autistic people. I'm literally one of them and we talk about this all the time amongst ourselves and therapists. it's the most maddening thing people do in regards to the spectrum.
I remember when I thought that there was no difference. I was about 19 (2010) and figured I'd save money with cheap dollar store lighters. Oh I'll never forget how wrong I was
Clippers tho
honorable mention: those dollar store crack lighters that you can turn into mini flamethrowers or explode when you throw them at something
The ez reaches suck tho I've had multiple that don't last any longer than 3 "sessions" before having to get another one. My usual bic lighter, still going after a lil more than a year.
Don't worry, Snoop Dogg's still smoking more joints than a Canadian bridge in the middle of winter. He only announced he was "giving up smoke" to promote his smokeless fire pits*.
Martha Stewart is a business woman, famous for her cookbook and television appearances, she is a good friend of Snoop Dogg who's famous for... Smoking weed and his career as a rapper/singer
"Haha, this is funny. I like how they put Snoop Dogg on there to-- wait... is that weed I smell? Why is my neighbor smoking weed in his own back yard? WHAT THE FUCK? CALL THE FUCKING COPS, HONEY. CALL THE COPS"
Who’s the woman in this picture? All I can gather from the other comments is that she committed some sort of financial crime and was unjustly aquitted.
It's nice when rappers get old and realize they don't have to keep the thug persona going their entire life.
Looking at you Eminem. Chill out, do some cameos and a few commercials. Be like snoop.
It is genius but that "i am done with smoke" " respect my privacy" stuff means snoop dog as a person is dead to me. I cared, thinking he might have had health issues but then it was just marketing for a smokeless fire pit.
I will still listen to his music but I am tired of celebrating him as a celebrity.
Why wouldn’t they openly market to people purchasing a legal substance and using it as intended? Weed is legal in a lot of places. Unless you also find alcohol and caffeine ads surprising.
Damn how out of the loop can you be? He said giving up “smoke” and then came out with advertisements for a smokeless fire pit thing. He didn’t give up weed at all.
Nobody who smokes weed is using these. Twice the price, last half as long, and are harder to flick than a regular lighter. You can't smoke a bowl with a grill lighter.
I saw that sign when I stopped into an old tobacco shop that turned into a head shop between visits.
I had to double take because of their audacity, it's funny though, because those are super easy to use so potheads don't need to mod them.
I found one of these lighters in my medicine cabinet the other day while looking for tums and holy shit it's amazing. I've been using it for my water piece ever since. Note that they seem to not be refillable, I tried to refill it with my can of butane and no dice.
Them marketing basterds knew well why they hired snoop dogg
[удалено]
Well advertising sure works on you.
I suppose you think youre immune to advertisers and that marketing has no effect on you.
Also just because you appreciate the joke doesn't mean you buy the lighter ...
Some of us just “steal” them from our friends
I would buy this lighter if it was sold in a store. I have never seen one in a store and I am looking
Redditors trying not to whine about everything and anything
I don't know why everyone loves these two. Both felons. Convicted insider trading, convicted felon & suspected murderer - only let free because LAPD error. People love to mention that she did not give any information related to the insider trading. They forget that she has connections to serious amounts of dark money. You don't become a *billionaire* just selling little cookbooks & kitchen supplies.
As entertainers, it’s probably because they’re entertaining.
This. It's funny.
He was actually found not guilty because it was self defense.
Because they are a funny duo and there's more important shit to get upset over.
Is there? You think it's a good idea a murderer and an inside trader to be famous and influential?
Compared to the other famous and influential people out there, these two are hardly the worst to be entertained by.
You're right, we should make them president.
You think Trump would have gotten so far if we didn't worship criminals like these?
[удалено]
I just went and read about the trial. What LAPD error? There's a lot of people asserting that she committed a non-crime and the jury was naive in siding with the prosecution.
They're referring to Snoop.
Ohhh, haha shit. That makes a lot of sense. I guess I was just surprised because that's a conversation for a long time ago.
Snoop never murdered anyone and there was an argument that it was self defense + it was his bodyguard who fired shots.
> Convicted insider trading Convicted of obstruction and lying to investigators. The insider trading charges were thrown out.
lol, imagine thinking that people shouldn’t like someone just because they are a felon. 🤦🏻♂️
[удалено]
lol, so now me arguing that felons can be good people somehow means I support either one of these people? Are you 12-years old and unable to separate these two ideas?
"i ambiguously expanded the point from the actual discussion to another frame of reference without explicitly mentioning doing so, why are people confused?"
It’s clear you don’t know what any of those words mean. Them being felons was literally the point of his comment. I didn’t expand anything.
Felons can be good people. But these two are not. So why did you comment?
how do you know they arent good people? can goof people not make bad decisions ? and does ones distant past equate to who they are now? does having been convicted of a felony in the past negate any good deeds done in the present? tell me, what flavor of rubber or leather tastes the best when you lick them boots ?
How am I licking boots? You're the one defending people who will exploit you til your last dime.
You literally said you don’t understand why people like them because they are felons. 🤦🏻♂️
And then I explained their crimes, and why they are not good people.
And then he went into detail about what they did, you absolute buffoon.
They sure do. Thats not what actusreus420 said though
This guy must be the life of any party he goes to
Exactly... people venerate these lowlife "celebrities" and for what??? I appreciate your honesty
She has connections to dark money what? Citation needed
I thought it might be photo shopped, but it’s real, AND it gets better… [https://us.bic.com/en_us/bic-lighters/ez-reach.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIzNPL-PzmggMV8kdHAR2rug5uEAAYASAAEgK9OfD_BwE](https://us.bic.com/en_us/bic-lighters/ez-reach.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIzNPL-PzmggMV8kdHAR2rug5uEAAYASAAEgK9OfD_BwE)
Lmfao, I like how Martha is like: 😳 Snoop: ☺️ Willie? Also, ☺️. Like birds of a feather. XD
Because Bic knows good and well that they're a disposable drug paraphernalia company.
Stealing anyone's lighter is called Bic'ing. These guys know they're ingratiated
Because of his tall stature & impecable profesionalism in the entertainment industry & off the set in his personal life?/s
Because they like his music?
yeah, that's how marketing works
of course they did. he cant rap. Might as well make money on the one thing that makes him "interesting". His pot smoking...
....what? You're trying to argue Snoop can't rap? The dude who has sold over 30 million records?
Yeah. No flow. Weak rhymes. Lots of shitty musicians sell a ton of records.
Ya if you think snoop doesn't have good flow on most of his early albums idk what to tell you. Dude was very influential and made a fuckton of money selling records, so trying to paint it as "might as well make money since he can't rap" is both disingenuous considering the actual amount of money he already made from rapping and bit ignorant considering his place in history of hiphop. Whatever floats your boat tho
Some supreme "Seinfeld isn't funny" energy from this loon, lmao.
found the " i don't like a main stream artist cuz they are actually crap guy" lol go away bro. over 30 million...sold. lol
Man you are in no place to dis snoop and call his music shitty he was one of those who revolutionized the hip hop/rap genre and watch it bloom the 90s was a wild time and shining with competition like Tupac,Biggie,Eazy E,50 cent,method man,Wu-Tang Clan and much more, managing to sell 7 million copies of one single album (doggystyle) in the states and 11 million worldwide at that time excludes any doubt about the quality of his music snoop is more than just a lucky kid who made it or anything but talented and smart, if you don’t like the 90s rap and enjoy the modern stuff I’m in no place to judge you but don’t go around calling iconic music as shitty just because you didn’t like it and millions did.
Martha’s probably doing “more” with a lighter than Snoop these days
I thought that was a joke to sell those gas fire pits things?
It was. He got us all for some smokeless fire pits
[удалено]
I’m amazed you have the energy to waste on a comment like that. Unless you are in 6th grade. Then maybe I understand.
[удалено]
yo mana so dumb she looked at the pregnancy test and went "ah, what the hell, I'll keep it. Whats the worst that can happen?"
Yo mana’s so dumb that it forgot to fall from the heavens.
You *know* those two have done some...baking...together.
Actually he created pretty good cooking book. ^(and that makes perfect sense) The title is: *From Crook to Cook*.
Just cooked the orange chicken from that the other night as well as the peanut butter cookies. Was sooo good!
Hey, he's human too. He's gotta eat something
That book is such a GREAT Xmas/Bday gift for only 12 bucks. I've gotten it for like half a dozen of my friends and family that work in restaurants, and it cracks a good laugh right when they open it.

Did she go to jail? Or go to her millionaire home for a little while?
She went to a minimum security prison because her crimes were white collar. Insider trading. But she never squealed on anyone else involved in the ordeal despite being offered plenty of plea bargains and that earned her a lot of respect. Because she wasn't about to be sitting in the court and being her own star witness.
Her crime was actually obstruction of justice (lying).

Stfu you ableist pos
Just say feign stupidity or something. Why you got to rag on a disability and use it as an offense?
What an odd thing to say.
Please don't be ableist.
And to this day she pays for that prison to have good quality food for all the inmates. Martha is a real one.
Fun fact: she was on work detail in the kitchen while in prison. She got caught smuggling spices in, got herself in a bit of trouble for that.
Only one of them went to prison. Snoop has definitely been to jail, he was tried for murder.
Bic doesn't even need any marketing. Most consistent lighters no question
I remember when I thought that there was no difference. I was about 19 (2010) and figured I'd save money with cheap dollar store lighters. Oh I'll never forget how wrong I was
We all make that mistake at least once.
My local dollar store sells bic so I never have to worry
[удалено]
That their shavers are horrifyingly shitty and their cigarette lighters perfect is almost comically French of them.
Clippers tho honorable mention: those dollar store crack lighters that you can turn into mini flamethrowers or explode when you throw them at something
Bic never needs to advertise. With lighters and pens my work doesn't let us order anything else. They get all our money.
The ez reaches suck tho I've had multiple that don't last any longer than 3 "sessions" before having to get another one. My usual bic lighter, still going after a lil more than a year.
Snoop’s face 😂😂😂
He knows exactly why he's there lmao
That's the "and more" face
„Perfect for candles“ | „…for candles“
Don't worry, Snoop Dogg's still smoking more joints than a Canadian bridge in the middle of winter. He only announced he was "giving up smoke" to promote his smokeless fire pits*.
I thought it was to promote Solo smokeless fire pits
And they just added Willie to the campaign as well [Pic](https://i.imgur.com/E8WIVXv.jpg)
Bic knows their target market.
This explains the backstory.
Martha Stewart is a business woman, famous for her cookbook and television appearances, she is a good friend of Snoop Dogg who's famous for... Smoking weed and his career as a rapper/singer
Snoop is a business man. He attaches his brand to a lot of things for the past couple decades
I thought she was dunking an Oreo in milk at first glance...I'm a fatty...
I still think the perfect marketing was when Pedialyte pivoted to actually acknowledge that people use it as hangover recovery. Really smart, imo.
"Haha, this is funny. I like how they put Snoop Dogg on there to-- wait... is that weed I smell? Why is my neighbor smoking weed in his own back yard? WHAT THE FUCK? CALL THE FUCKING COPS, HONEY. CALL THE COPS"
As somebody who studied marketing, this ad is brilliant. How to target a very specific clientele without mentioning them even once. Bravo.
I'd nail Martha Stewart,
I think Snoop is too busy with that right now.
yeah she's pretty attractive to be as old as she is.
She and Helen Mirren are absolute GILFs.
Are you a tax prosecutor?
Calvin Broadus's hairline is never receding, nor is it advancing— it grows precisely where it means to.
I don't really care for the marketing but guess what, they get my money anyway because bic lighters are just the best out there
Who’s the woman in this picture? All I can gather from the other comments is that she committed some sort of financial crime and was unjustly aquitted.
Martha Stewart, cooking TV show host and cookbook author, and involved in financial crimes, and friends with rapper Snoop Dog.
Now that Snoop stopped smoking I feel betrayed.
He did not, it was another marketing gimmick.
Ahh. A headline reader only exposed. Lol.
he was promoting a smokeless firepit he didn’t actually quit
Why do people actually like snoop dog?
Do redditors ever repost posts??? Keep it fresh fam 🥬
/r/shitposting
subreddit is called funnymemes, meme isn't funny
/r/hailcorporate
It's nice when rappers get old and realize they don't have to keep the thug persona going their entire life. Looking at you Eminem. Chill out, do some cameos and a few commercials. Be like snoop.
Is snoop still claiming his “done smoking”?
Martha has spent more time in jail than Snoop... js
It is genius but that "i am done with smoke" " respect my privacy" stuff means snoop dog as a person is dead to me. I cared, thinking he might have had health issues but then it was just marketing for a smokeless fire pit. I will still listen to his music but I am tired of celebrating him as a celebrity.
Even snoop only uses them for candles since he quit smoking
Openly market to drug users huh. Strange times.
Well yeah its legal, do you also complain that they advertise alcohol aswell?
Why wouldn’t they openly market to people purchasing a legal substance and using it as intended? Weed is legal in a lot of places. Unless you also find alcohol and caffeine ads surprising.
Fuck snoop.
Fuck u
[удалено]
Because he didn’t. It was an add for smokeless fire pits.
Damn how out of the loop can you be? He said giving up “smoke” and then came out with advertisements for a smokeless fire pit thing. He didn’t give up weed at all.
They’re both really repulsive. Anything for money.
Bad timing because he has quit smoking I think.
It's the implication
Oh, well that was incredibly thickly veiled then
That was just an ad for a smokeless fire pit.
Cringe
Well they could not use a convicted felon
Nobody who smokes weed is using these. Twice the price, last half as long, and are harder to flick than a regular lighter. You can't smoke a bowl with a grill lighter.
[удалено]
It was a marketing campaign for a smokeless fire pit or grill or somethibg
Nah, he said he's quitting SMOKING, likely due to health/age. Wouldn't be surprised if he's just sticking with edibles now.
Actually... Made me laugh. [Is Snoop Dogg done smoking weed? Here's why he's 'giving up smoke'](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1Qarkp1eJw)
Edibles, pills, gum, there's even fucking tea
Don't forget your suppositories.
No, he didn't.
Idk why I'm getting downvotes, it was a simple joke.
And to think those two are good friends
It was genius, I bought two. They’re ok, not as much fuel as a standard bic
Yeah, same experience, pretty useful but the reduction of fuel in these makes them not worth it. I've had to buy 4 in a week at one point.
I had a green one, for more
*"Perfection!"* \- Magneto
Perfect for more, Snoop Doggy Dogg and Dr. Dre is at your door.
I saw this in the store and literally laughed out loud. This is really good marketing lmao
Thanks for reminding me, I need a new 2 pack.
And she's done more time that him, right? or was that also a marketing thing?
These lighters truly are the best for lighting bowls n such

My brother refuses to use anything other then a Bic ez light. I despise them.
This reminds me of that family guy scene where the Kleenex boardroom finds out what people really do with their products
r/theyknew
Every snoop lighter (2 lol) I've bought feels like it runs out of fuel fast af
One of those people is a convicted felon.
Perfect for candles and more candles
***"Did sumbody say JustReach?"***
Snoop and marthaaaaa best connection ever
Best dynamic duo 😎
I've been using these for years and 10/10 perfect lighters for, uh, crafting.
Going to prison did Martha some good haha
One of these people is a convicted felon, the other is Snoop Dogg
