coke does not care about your happiness or negativity. coke wants to sell you sugar water and make a lot of money. social media marketing is retarded and cynical so good that they tweeted hitler and had to shut it down

And Gawker exists to get pageviews and possibly once posted a rape video when A.J. Daulerio ran Deadspin. There is no good guy here.

What is with sites like Gawker prematurely declaring victory over stupid poo poo? Hurr durr their program to turn stuff into ASCII art that we voluntarily submitted hateful things to made bananas out of hitler quotes, look at how much we owned them.

I was going to say, I can't even find that offensive. It's clearly a bot, for one, that doesn't care about context. And two, I think Hitler would probably roll over his grave screaming until his head explodes like the end of Bionic Commando if he knew his book was being turned into a smiling banana drinking an American soft drink. So I find that kind of hilarious. Even the tag line would probably piss him off.

Gawker is dumb. Though, they should do Ayn Rand next.

I'm just amazed that people smart enough to build a massive brand like Coke probably pay ungodly sums of money to 25 year old dropouts to create a VIRAL BUZZ VIDEO SOCIAL MEDIA FACEBOOK TWITTER LIKES.

Seriously, why does Coca Cola even need to loving advertise anymore? I think people are aware of the concept of soda.

The last Gawker article I read was from some guy who use a gay hookup app to get a blowjob in a Disney World bathroom while on vacation with his family. NEW JOURNALISM!!!!!!!

Also gently caress Gawker. Their ineffective liberal whining is hilarious though.

at the very least, they were funny while declaring victory over injustice. usually they do that while being as bitchy and unfunny as possible. the two best examples of that is the Gawker article where some professor says that "douchebag is the white racial slur we've been waiting for" and a Deadspin article where the author said that Gamergate is the perfect illustration of the future of the culture wars

speaking of which, i used to like Deadspin because it was a refuge from the usual Gawker Media brand of ineffective whining, but then they wrote 17 articles about Ray Rice in a single day. this is now what passes for "humor" there- imagine every single article that isn't supposed to be funny written in the same dry, dense format and you have Deadspin today

where is gawker portraying this as a victory against capitalism?

i just see poo poo like:

quote:

While Gawker strenuously disagrees with Coke's own clearly stated desire to "secure the existence of our people and a future for White Children," we are even more disappointed to learn that the corporation does not have the strength of its own white nationalist convictions. Happiness has been destroyed, for now.

which sounds a whole lot like making fun of coca-cola rather than some anti-corporate culturejamming or whatever
