    Maybe next time they shouldn’t wait for a rape.

      You’re right, people put up with him for too long.

      Some supermarkets in Ireland have announced immediate removal of brands associated with him.

      A poor idea or poor execution? Seems to me from a marketing perspective, the Venn diagram of these two would overlap fairly well.

        You mean the Venn diagram between poor ideas and ideas originating from marketing?

    Will it be replaced with Gregor McChicken as the illusive target?

          The comment was clearly not about how bad of a person McGregor is.

      I think they have it labeled that way, because he plans on appealing, so it’s possible that the verdict isn’t final. But yeah generally once you’ve been given a conviction the terminology changes

        It’s probably because its a civil trial, not a criminal one. So he hasn’t been ‘convicted’ - although personally it’s more than enough evidence for me
