The Color Purple — it’s not what you think

Published by at 2:18 pm under Uncategorized

We have new ceiling lights for the kitchen, but the round things that hold them on to the ceiling are smaller than the old ones. So there is a space around the new lights which has to be filled in, sanded, then painted. Rufus filled in the holes today with glop and will sand them tomorrow. For the sanding, we bought a purple sanding sponge called “SandBlaster”. On the back of the package, it states, “The color purple is a trademark of 3M.”

Has anyone alerted Alice Walker and the Crayola corporation?

    “The color purple is a trademark of 3M.”

    My god, for some reason that’s one of the scariest sentences I’ve heard in a long time. How disturbingly… weird!
