The celebrities have done it again. Following the dumpster fire that was the "Imagine" video, which saw a handful of celebrities singing John Lennon's famous tune in an attempt to "inspire" those suffering through the pandemic back in March, a similar effort has been made to squash racism. On Thursday (June 11th), a fairly random myriade of white celebrities including Aaron Paul, Sarah Paulson, Ke$ha, Bethanny Joy Lenz, Kristen Bell, Justin Theroux, Debra Messing, Mark Duplass, Bryce Dallas Howard, Julianne Moore, Piper Perabo, Stanley Tucci, and Ilana Glazer, participated in a PSA about anti-racism. In their melodramatic message, which was done in partnership with the NAACP, each star took responsibility for allowing racism to persist through microaggressions and vowed to put a stop to "hate" and police brutality.
While the intentions were good, many of the participants in the video, most of them actors, got dragged relentlessly for appearing to be putting on a performance, especially Aaron Paul. Many pointed out that, at the end of the video, Aaron concludes the message of the PSA with an intensity not unlike his character, Jesse Pinkman, in Breaking Bad.
However, Aaron wasn't the only one mocked for the "cringey" video.
Breaking Bad x K-Swiss Launch Exclusive "Hazmat Suit" Pack
K-Swiss launches two more Breaking Bad sneaker collabs inspired by Walt and Jesse’s hazmat suits, as well as a restock of the RV colorway.
In celebration of the Breaking Bad movie “El Camino” that debuted on Netflix last year, K-Swiss released a limited edition sneaker collab, inspired by Walter White’s and Jesse Pinkman’s mobile meth lab. Following in the footsteps of that collab comes two more Breaking Bad-inspired colorways of the K-Swiss Classic 2000, both of which pay tribute to the hazmat suits worn by Walter White and Jesse Pinkman.
Offered in an orange “Cleaning” colorway as well as a yellow “Cooking” colorway, both of the Classic 2000s (priced at $90 each) are smothered in rubber, zippered shrouds with custom zipper tabs inspired by the gloves from the suit. Additional details include unique heel tabs referencing the gas masks worn by the dynamic duo, as well as a Breaking Bad logo on the heel and “HEISENBERG” text on the icy blue translucent outsole.
The aforementioned RV-inspired colorway ($80) is also back in stock. Those kicks come equipped with a multi-color stripe around the low-top silhouette as a nod to the RV, along with “Breaking Bad” detailing on the tongue.
