The font furore is a bit beyond me, I genuinely had no idea any particular fonts were associated with white supremacy but fair enough, and I can see what they mean about the Fraktur fonts and Nazism, however it's the whole package that is Hanks' son that delights me;

QuoteHanks, who raps under the moniker Chet Haze and has acted in the TV shows Shameless and Empire, came up with the term "White Boy Summer" on Friday – a play on the Megan Thee Stallion song from 2019 Hot Girl Summer.

"I just got this feeling man that this summer ... it's about to be a white boy summer," he said. "Take it how you want, I'm not talking about Trump, Nascar-type white. I'm talking about me, (rappers) Jon B. Jack Harlow-type white boys, you know what I mean? Let me know if you guys can vibe with that, and get ready. 'Cause I am.'"

In a video posted a few days later, he clarified: "You know what's not White Boy Summer ... is having any ill will or prejudice towards anybody from a different background, race, walk of life than you."

On Tuesday Hanks announced he was also launching a range of Black Queen Summer merchandise, using the same font. "I want to see some white boys and some black queens wearing each other's shirts," he said in a video introducing them.

Hanks, who previously went viral in January of 2020 for using a Jamaican accent at the Golden Globes when his father won the Cecil B DeMille Award, is launching an online acting class The Actors Advantage on Monday.

(That online acting class will presumably be him rapping "The Actor's Advantage is to have a famous actor father" for two hours.) But it seems everything he does is terrible, doesn't it? I mean there's deliberately courting controversy for publicity, and there's choosing to launch a clothing line called White Boy Summer at one of the most racially sensitive times in recent history. No wonder Hanks Snr. has fucked off to Australia.

I wasn't even aware that Tom Hanks had another son apart from Colin. Seems like this one is the idiot son that he's a bit embarrassed about. He even looks stupid.

Tom Hanks could not be reached for comment but was overheard to say "fuck's sake" under his breath.

Classic idiot born into enormous wealth trying to find something to occupy his time, knowing that no matter how much of a shit failure it all is he'll be just fine.


Fair play for trying to row it back at least. Too many cunts would have turned this into a nice, easy grift.

"Chet" actually sounds like a word Nathan Barley would use to describe something as being good.

From the S**, so not linking:
QuoteIf you want to take part in Chet's White Boy Summer, there are some rules you need to follow.

You aren't allowed to wear plaid shirts because, as Chet told his followers, "you can't be looking like a picnic table out here".

Instead you must wear black or white t-shirts - preferably White Boy Summer merch.

He also canceled out Sperry Top-Siders and boat shoes are a no, but Vans and Jordans are allowed.

Men are also advised to stop calling women "smoke shows" as a compliment.

Lastly, he requested that anyone who owns salmon-colored clothes to "burn it, burn that s**t, don't ever wear that again."

I think I break the picnic table rule, what a shame.

Totally on board with the top-siders/boat shoes rule, those things are an ugly mess!


jobotic

So what the fuck word am i supposed to use to compliment women if I can't call them "smoke shows"?

I'm going back to "you're one hell of a broad, hot lips".

Chet Haze does sound exactly like the name of a NASCAR driver.

frajer

Hi I'm Chet Haze and if you want to take part in White Boy Summer, wear White Boy Summer merch you dumb picnic table!

'phone convo overheard at work a while back:

John will do it. <Big data IT speak: blah blah blah blah>
...
You know him, he wears check shirts all the time.  <IT speak: blah blah blah blah>
...
yes, he does look like a lumberjack. <IT speak: blah blah blah blah>
...
yes, he does sleep all night and works all day.
etc

I want to call him a massive tit but, to be fair to the lad, the phrase 'white boy summer' has worked itself right into my noggin and there's no chance I won't be using it all (white boy) summer.

Colin grew up with Bosom Buddies Tom Hanks, Chet grew up with 2 time Academy Award winning National Treasure™ Tom Hanks. Really explains the discrepancy of cuntishness.

Yes, it is quite authentic sounding. Maybe he should be cast in the upcoming Snow biopic, "A Licky Bum Bum Down".

If he was really racist, would he have paid several black and Latino sex workers to rub their arses in his face? I think not. Checkmate libs.

Given that cultural delineation is simply a white middle class pursuit, I have no issue with the patois or 'appropriation' which simply obfuscates the class divide, but I don't understand why he has to spray the arses with Lynx.

Dunno....... Why does he have to slap them like they were bongos, human bongos? Surely that's racist? Rat a tat ta, rat a tat ta, bongoin' away on their "big black asses."
His dad Tom's (America's dad) gonna look at that and think - For fuck's sake, what is this shit?
