So dumb: "Hillary Clinton Logo turns blue like a Home Pregnancy Test"

I thought you all might appreciate this bit of conservative stupidity. I scoured the site for some indication that this might be satire, but found none...

Hillary Clinton Logo turns blue like a Home Pregnancy Test
American Thinkier, April 20, 2015
By Pedro Gonzales

Hillary Clinton's much criticized logo has changed color from red to blue.

(The old one on the left, the new is on the right.)



I think she has changed the color to better appeal to mothers. In many pregnancy tests when you urinate on a stick it turns blue when you are pregnant. Hillary wants women who do this to identify with her. She wants to relate more closely to mothers. After all, she's always talking about women and girls (boys not included).

The arrow is blue in all of the banner ads I've seen so far. The call to action button is red.

Web ad design 101.

Probably based on a branding rule. The red arrow would overwhelm such a small ad and take away from the CTA.

On her site, the red arrowed logo mostly stands on its own.

Also on her site, the logo varies in other ways... white arrow, light blue arrow... etc.

Duh it's blue when she is asking for money from liberals and red when she is asking money from conservatives... They have an algorithm which tracks the websites you visit and then makes the decision which to display.

I used to have a right winger on the Yahoo boards use American Thinker quotes as her go-to source of information. Because, you know, its got "Thinker" right there in the title, so it must be a thoughtful, respectable source of gravitas.

It's now yes/no or +/-.

Obviously someone who hasn't taken a pregnancy test in the past few years.
