“A Campbell’s Soup Company executive has been put on temporary leave after he allegedly referred to the firm’s offerings as ‘shit for fucking poor people’—a remark purportedly caught on an audio recording and attributed to him in a former employee’s wrongful termination lawsuit.”
—The Guardian

Who eats this shit? Poor people. I,
Deservedly, am richer.
You know the only can I’d buy?
The Andy Warhol picture.

The chicken’s fake, the broth is poop,
I’d sooner browse on brambles.
If all this lands me in the soup,
Please God don’t make it Campbell’s.

It’s not intended for the rich.
They’re not the ones we’re wooing;
It’s shit for fucking paupers—which
Describes what we’ve been doing.
