In a move that has left the internet utterly bewildered – and several homophobes spontaneously combusting – mega-corporation 'Grindr & Tonic' CEO, Chad Thundercock, has simultaneously banned all rainbow-themed advertising from his company's platforms while simultaneously debuting a dazzling, full-body rainbow jumpsuit designed by Versace's new 'Gender-Fluid, Pansexual, and Slightly Annoyed' line.
The juxtaposition has sent social media into a frenzy of memes and thinkpieces analyzing everything from the subconscious yearning for acceptance hidden behind the ban to the possibility that Thundercock is secretly a drag queen moonlighting as a tech mogul (a theory currently gaining traction in the 'Chad Is A Chad' online community).
"It's a calculated risk," explained Thundercock during a press conference held inside a giant, inflatable rainbow unicorn, "a bold statement on the complexities of modern capitalism. We need to support the LGBTQ+ community, but you know, also, profits. You can't just *give* away rainbows! That's socialism! (Please don’t tell Bernie)."
Critics, predictably, are outraged. One prominent homophobe, identified only as 'Bartholomew Butterfield' on his strongly anti-rainbow, pro-golfing YouTube channel, screamed, "It’s an outrage! He's using the very colors of the rainbow to oppress us with his flamboyant rainbow suit! I demand an investigation! And a round of golf." Meanwhile, supporters have been equally vocal, many wearing custom-made Thundercock-inspired rainbow jumpsuits, including a very convincing one on a Golden Retriever.
The situation remains fluid (pun intended), as legal experts ponder whether this counts as ironic performance art, a blatant act of corporate sabotage, or just a really fabulous fashion statement. One thing is certain: Chad Thundercock has successfully mastered the art of provoking outrage—and, arguably, creating one of the most confusing, meme-worthy marketing campaigns in history. We’re all just waiting for his next move – perhaps a line of rainbow-colored MAGA hats?
In other news, Taylor Swift has reportedly placed an order for 100 of Thundercock’s jumpsuits. Sources say it’s for her next music video, but we suspect she's just ready for pride month.
