Original source: her Instagram. The full-size image shows Ariana petting a dog that’s wearing a harness clearly marked “Do Not Pet,” and the very next image in the series is a close-up of the “Do Not Pet” sign. This seems like a weird thing to post, kinda smacking of entitlement, and setting a bad example for her young followers (she has 362 million followers on IG, more than the entire population of the USA).
Does she also post images of her walking on the grass next to a “keep off the grass” sign? Does she also park in “no parking” areas”? Does she also go on amusement park rides where she’s not tall enough?
The “Ariana Grande donut” incident (often referred to as #DonutGate) occurred on July 4, 2015. Then-22-year-old Ariana Grande was caught on security camera at Wolfee Donuts in Lake Elsinore, California, licking unwatched donuts on display. She was also recorded saying, “I hate Americans, I hate America”
Should tell ya all you need to know about what kind of person she is…
Given that the President of America is a serial pedophile rapist, it kind of tells you what tens of millions of Americans are like and why hundreds of millions around the world hate Americans.
Where’s the Like button?
OK OK OK. There aren’t tens of millions of us who are pedos. I guess there are that many who are gullible enough to RE-elect Nixon, Reagan, Sonny Bush, and the big slimy cow-cunt.
And yet…everyone whose country’s been to the fucking moon raise your hand.
You’re trying to coast on some culturally significant but technologically irrelevent event from nearly 60 years ago?
Just saying:it’s still a hell of a country. Call it coasting if you want.
Well, Nature Mom, I agree that it’s a helluva country in principle.
If I may quote the good doctor Hunter S. Thompson:
Or, of course, Donald Trump.
I’m kinda with Mencken on this one. The ascendancy of men like Nixon and Trump is an inherent flaw of democracy. I’m not sure how serious historians view this, but it is my belief that democracy is, but its nature, suicidal – doomed to self-destruction by the very freedom it cherishes. That freedom must inevitably lead to the election of the man who will destroy it, either because he co-opts it, or because he is so dangerous that his opponents determine that non-democratic processes are necessary to oust him.
Mencken stated this historical inevitability more eloquently than I could.
Is that day already behind us?
I’m not even trying to bash the United States here I was responding to the idiotic post that it’s only the Ariana Grande’s of America who hate America. In 2016, voting for Donald Trump was acknowledged even by many of his brain-dead cult that they did so as a FUCK YOU to America.
As a germaphobe I was absolutely disgusted by Ariana Grande doing that, but I recall she did so as a FUCK YOU to the brain-dead Trump cult, so they’ve taken on a completely irrational and disproportionate hate of her. She’s a fairly minor and innocuous musician, leave her alone, please.
Since then, she responded brilliantly to the terrorist attack at one of her concerts. I don’t see any real evidence she’s a bad person at all.
In regards to the coasting, yes, the space program is fine though it was really just a glorified waste of money and the reason nobody has been back to the moon for over 50 years is because there was no real reason to send humans there in the first place.
The real coasting is with the U.S $ having the world reserve currency status (which Trump seems determined to end) which provides the United States economy enormous benefits (which Trump seems to understand at the same time as he’s trying to destroy it, he’s such a child he believes he can have everything and doens’t have to make choices.) This status was conferred on the United States in the early 1970s as a result of U.S economic dominance in the 1950s and 1960s. I don’t think it would be fair to say that the U.S has been coasting off of that since, but it’s certainly abused the privilige.
I wasn’t actually trying to start a discussion on Americans and democracy, more so on the idea of being a rebel vs. staying within the rules.
Of couse, I thought Scoopy’s comments were absurdly over the top, especially the bizarre part on ‘she’s setting a bad example for her young followers.’ Seriously? In this day of psychopathic far right child influencers (like the incels) Ariana Grande doing this is what we need to worry about? I declare, I have the vapors! I thought Scoopy might have been being sarcastic there, but he seemed so sincere I thought I’d provide a sincere response.
Even if some of her followers do get the uncontrollable urge to pet dogs that aren’t supposed to be petted, again though, we get back to the whole issue of why are some people who rebel against the rules celebrated, and others, like, I guess, Ariana Grande her, condemned. It seems, especially from Americans, completely arbitrary and often irrational.
Cheers for Ariana Grande showing her millions of child followers that a lot of rules are stupid and that they should always consider whether stupid rules should be followed or not!
Oh, I was very sincere. I have to admit that I’m surprised that you don’t know that there are very good reasons why one should not pet service dogs, and that you shouldn’t show kids that it’s OK. It is by no means a stupid rule.
A service dog is working. Petting, calling to, making eye contact, offering food, or otherwise engaging can distract the dog from tasks such as guiding, alerting to seizures or blood-sugar changes, interrupting panic or dissociation, or warning about danger. Even a brief distraction can put the owner at risk, especially if the dog is guiding a blind person. Such service dogs are trained to ignore strangers and do their jobs. Rewarding it with attention can weaken that training.
If the service dogs are trained to assist the disabled, they are the equivalent of medical equipment. Distracting one is like grabbing someone’s cane, wheelchair, or oxygen tank. In addition, the owner may not want to explain their disability. Asking to pet the dog can put the owner in the awkward position of disclosing personal medical information.
And if the service dogs are trained for police or military K-9 service, approaching them could be dangerous. They are trained to react quickly to certain movements, threats, commands, or situations. Running toward one, reaching over its head, staring, or stepping into the dog’s space can be interpreted as a threat or interference.
Well, fine, but again the dog and it seems the owner didn’t have any problem with it.
This leads me to another point I was thinking of making.
First, lets not pretend that most people actually care about this. I’ve heard the stuff about service dogs need to be treated like medical equipment but I wasn’t aware of dog suits like that and I didn’t appreciate it could be that serious.
But, again let’s not pretend that this really matters to most people. I wondered about this (apparently it’s a frequent question) and yes, service dogs, even thoroughly trained, can be distracted by fireworks on, say July 4, or can be distracted by, loud firecrackers on Halloween and all these horrible things that you mentioned to the disabled person can occur.
We have stuff like laser/drone light shows that can completely replace fireworks that are extremely stressful to all dogs and many other animals/pets and not just service dogs. Has a single city ended fire works for laser light shows?
Google names two in Canada: London, Ontario and Banff, Alberta, a city in a park/forest.
In Calgary, Alberta, the Calgary Stampede is about to start (which is also cruel to animals, if not to service dogs, and I always cheer when I hear a human rider was killed while trying to ride a bronco.
There is a new thing, some music festival this year going along with the Stampede, and one selfish promoter of the festival tried to guilt trip the Calgary City council into allowing the suspension of noise bylaws for the duration of the festival, extremely loud music until around 3 A.M blasting out into people’s homes and presumably even frightening service dogs.
The reaction from two of our leading sleazy scum right wing politicians? Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said “looks like the fun police have struck again in Calgary, this time targeting the Calgary Stampede music scene.”
Canadian leader of the opposition was even more his usual over the top self getting in all the cliches (he’s dropped referring to everything he supports as ‘common sense’ but not before seemingly every brain-dead Trump cult now claims to have ‘common sense.’
“City Hall gatekeepers are making a big mistake killing jobs, smothering country music culture, and cutting back performances at the world-famous Cowboys celebration during the Calgary Stampede.
Millions flock to the Stampede because IT IS FUN to stay up late and listen to loud music. That brings nearly a billion dollars in tourism and excitement for the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth.”
I admittedly am not up to date on this, but as far as I know, the Stampede brings in a lot of tourists (I doubt very much it’s nearly a billion dollars worth) but this music festival?
Calgary mayor Jeromy Farkas responded that the city received complaints last year about windows shaking and items falling from shelves due to the noise, and disorder spilling onto the streets following the concerts.
“No [one] gets a free pass to disturb residents or create unsafe conditions. A great city backs major events and holds operators accountable,” Farkas wrote.
He added “I answer to the nurse on an early shift, the parent getting kids ready for school, and the worker who needs sleep,” Farkas said.
“If you want to do business in Calgary, respect the people who live next door.”
This is ultimately all about one person, a man named Paul Vickers who has the ear of Smith and Poilievre.
So, is Vickers the hero rebelling against city hall or a total jerk who is trying to evade sensible rules?
There’s an update on this Calgary Festival (as opposed to the Calgary Stampede)
Apparently the whole festival was cancelled this year due to the headliner Kane Brown suffering a concussion (from a ‘freak golf accident.’)
Score another win for the service dogs, general pets and any other animal that might be in the vicinty (except for the often badly mistreated animals at the Calgary Stampede.)
I mean, there are reasons when animals to wear that sign. What an asshole
The owner of the dog is likely the one holding on to the leash and is allowing Ariane Grande (assuming that is her) to pet the dog and the dog has lifted its paw up to Ariana Grande’s hand.
Is that a slim cigarette or a lollipop sticking out of her lips?
Definitely maybe.
Lollipop. Here is the previous picture.
She’s been seen wearing a shirt that says, “I have no tits.” I’m glad she embraces that instead of being a concerningly skinny chick with huge fake tits. But personally, I’m pretty sure she’d be impossible for a normal person to be around for more than an hour, with her character issues. She’s world famous and has enough money to buy and sell random people at will. Doughnut licking and zoo violations are the least of the arrogance & entitlement issues. These people tend to think they’re “extra special” due to all the celebrity worshiping, success, and perks.
But we all die and take nothing with us, so I’m not sure where she thinks all this extra-specialness is going to lead, unless leaving a legacy of shitty, forgettable music is her ultimate goal. That’s something Ellen DeGenerate also should’ve thought about before she developed the haughty, privileged attitude that ruined her career. I never understood how being a lame comedian and phony talk show host could lead to someone thinking they’re so special and important that they can treat all non-celebrities like worthless scum.
At least Sinatra, with all his arrogance and ugly qualities, created a legacy of meaningful music.
Whatever Grande may or may not be, I’m sure she’s a better person not only than serial rapist pedophile Trump, piece of shit greedhead Steve Jobs but also rapist Armie Hammer and useless fuckwad Ewe Boll.
It’s her dog. She put the sign on the dog. But hey, liberals never let facts get in the way of your story.
Unlike those imaginary liberals you cite, I love facts. So, what is your source for this info?
I do know that Ariana Grande loves dogs and owns many, as pictured by various internet searches.
But none of them seem to look look anything like the dog in the picture.
