Psycho Donuts Marketing (Also Known As the Post AR Won't Post)

Disclaimer: I have lived in California pretty much my whole life, and I can testify that this state is full of fruits and nuts. I can also testify as a marriage and family therapist that I think this story is nuts, to use a clinical term (okay, I'm joking about the clinical term) Oh, and no donuts have been eaten yet as of the time I have written about this nutty story.

Alrighty...When I read the headline to this story - Would You Eat A Bipolar Donut? I was hooked, like a starving fish on a hook, off his meds, mainly because I LOVE donuts, and I have worked with clients the past seven years who suffer from bipolar disorder. (Which is no laughing matter except in the manic state). :)

And this big controversy comes down to basically whether or not a person has a sense of humor. Really - there are some boring, dull, pinheads in the world, who cannot crack a smile for anything. And then there are nice, mirthful, funny sanguine types like me and Tigger who pretty much can find humor in anything.

There are Eeyores and Oscar the Grouches, and there are Tiggers and Garfields and Sylvesters who can impact and make a persons day. The attitude of the Eeyore and Oscars of this world is that the bipolar donut is going to be depressed because if it's name. The Tiggers of the world, are like, "Hey, hand me that bipolar donut and let me have some fun with it!"

The good news in this story is that the Grouches LOST - to which I say, "Bwahahahahahaha" insert me holding my hand up with the big letter "L" over my forehead! Yeah, the Grumpies of the world LOST and the bipolar donuts - PSYCHO DONUTS - WIN, move over Krispy Kreme overly greasy donut faces! Ha...

No, seriously, how silly is this controversy really? It is completely stupid. Psycho Donuts had a GREAT idea and I think it's a fun marketing plan. And naturally someone who is a total stick in the mud has to ruin it and complain about it. To which I say, "Forgetaboutit!"

As for their little complaints about how the mentally ill will be harmed and they are being made fun of, even if there is some slight truth to that, which I don't believer there is, most mentally ill people are too mentally ill to know - so who cares, really, again WHO CARES.

Do you really care? If so, what is wrong with you? If you don't good - go have a donut, I just wish they were closer to me, because I'd love to have some of their donut fries, how tasty is that!

And sadly I removed the video because AR has been totally tempermental with this post, which is really sad. So in order to see the video, just click the link above.
