The Steak Justice posted:Anyone who's been watching anything on Blip has probably had to deal with Home Depot's latest abortion of an ad campaign, where they're trying to cash in on the popular internet cats going around by making their own "wise cracking" internet cat. I almost didn't want to talk about it because it's so pitiful but I have to know that I'm not the only one who's putting up with this poo poo. It was either the 90 second "gently caress you turn off adblocker meanie  " or the absolutely terrible ads in front of, in between, and during Blip videos. I was considering just leaving the adblocker off for them but after an ad popped up during a video I pretty much said screw Blip and put it back on.But yeah, Home Depot's Meme cat thing is stupid, what does it have to do with Home improvement/renovation supplies?

Yeah, I got that Blip thing last time I watched a RLM video. I tried to be nice and turn off adblocker but then they had to be assholes about it with those annoying pop ups during the video.

All the trendy young urbanites dancing in the untreated fountain water with their nasty bare feet and McCafe coffees need to be cited and fined with a mandatory court date under some kind of health statute. A few days later they all find out they've got a well-deserved fungus from each other. I hope their day in court involves $25 parking that's a 45 min walk to the courthouse. And thunderstorms, unless they'd enjoy that and play in it or some poo poo.

That stupid Whirlpool Teen Jeans ad... Teen: OMG, you washed my jeans! They'll shrink! They'll fade! My response if I was her mother: You want your jeans to smell like dirty vagina? Fine, then. Hope you enjoy not having any friends, you smelly hippie dirtbag. And do your own loving laundry from now on. Stupid bitch. Whirlpool.

This Citibank ad gets to me since the woman is hitting a pretty a punching bag with just handwraps and no gloves, which is an easy way to break your wrists and fracture your hands.

Shouldn't belong in this thred, but it's just a reminder that some people are trapped in the 18th century.quote:Social media blow-back has been fierce, nasty and unusually racist after the top-selling, General Mills cereal brand last week began airing — and then posted online — a commercial featuring a sweet, mixed-race girl. http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2013/06/03/cheerios-general-mills-commercial-mixed-race-ad/2384587/ Hats off to General Mills.  . I hope the next round of ads feature gay couples to piss off people that are offended by this type of stuff.I would definitely put this in the "Ads you love category".

Oh wow, the fact that there is a mixed race couple in the ad never registered for me until now. I wonder if General Mills is being intentionally socially forward with that ad or if they are as surprised as I am that apparently there are thriving communities of time travelers from the pre-civil war era out there.

dijon du jour posted:Oh wow, the fact that there is a mixed race couple in the ad never registered for me until now. Actually, I'm guessing socially forward. Last summer, at the same time that Chick-fil-a was raising a huff against gay marriage, Big G got protested for supporting it, and having their employees' same sex partners receive benefits. In response, the employees went out to the protesters and offered them ice tea and water with lemon wedges. They'd have given them cookies, but the protesters were making "dumping" piles of their products, and the cookies would have gone there too.

No, you didn't eat the bones, nor do you think you ate the bones, unless you forgot the bucket of chicken that you bought was specifically called "boneless" and you can't read the word "boneless" that is printed on the side of the box in huge letters. I wish you did eat the bones and one got caught in your throat, and EMT's had to perform an emergency tracheotomy with a kitchen knife and a ball point pen.

I remember when KFC first announced they were going to serve boneless chicken, they honestly seemed to believe that "I ate the bones!" was going to blow up as the next big advertising catchphrase like "Where's the beef?" did years ago.

Okay, how many commercials did Samsung make for that "pause when you look away" feature? I just saw the third one. I mean it's a cool feature but does it really warrant 3 separate commercials?

I prefer the Samsung commercial about the mom taking a picture of her son's convocation and then somehow digitally removing a person standing in front of him on the phone. Because every other loving person's reaction for some reason is "IT CAN DO THAT?", no it can't loving do that, that wouldn't be possible except with some trickery by taking a video and doing some analysis that way, they don't even say the phone can do that in the commercial, they say something to the effect of "oh it's so advanced our phone!!!". Shut up samsung no one likes you.

I'm really goddamned sick of the pledge drives they do on NPR. No I don't give a poo poo about the Eton Rugged Rukus Bluetooth Music system even if I can hear it playing the music right here in the studio right now! And I don't want to win the trip to see Garrison Keillor! I hate him! I give you guys money every month already. Shut up and stop pestering me for an hour every morning while I'm waking up and eating breakfast and just let me listen to the loving news.

I'll bet a million bucks it just takes a window of time around when you clicked the button (it's always recording or something) and then interpolates what it would look like.

Shaman Ooglaboogla posted:I'll bet a million bucks it just takes a window of time around when you clicked the button (it's always recording or something) and then interpolates what it would look like. You know I just looked it up and the new Galaxy actually does have that feature, only you have to be in a specific mode while taking the picture which takes 5 consecutive pictures slowly and it looks for an area that changes greatly between the shots. Only that's not that useful since you're just taking a bunch of pictures anyway, one of them would probably have the shot you'd want anyway without having to interpolate between images. And it's also not really what the commercial depicts that well, since the lady would have to take a bunch of shots around the time when her son is being handed the diploma, one of which will probably be the shot you'd want anyway, and hope that that guy she wants to digitally erase didn't happen to jump in at the event you want (the guy actually being handed the diploma) or you wouldn't get the right shot anyway. But because of that one commercial (which is actually faked, the picture you see her take is different from the one you see her manipulate which is a different pose than what you see, also you need to actually be in the "eraser" mode which actually takes 5 consecutive pictures (slowly), which she isn't) everyone thinks you can just take out objects from pictures like we're living in Blade Runner world, when it's just a camera that takes a bunch of pictures and might digitally interpolate some objects out, or not. piratepilates fucked around with this message at 06:55 on Jun 9, 2013 |

They need to fund it through taxes, not private donations. The republicans have this idea that private donations and charity are a better way of supporting things than through public funding, ostensibly because "there's less overhead" or some poo poo, but really it comes down to "this way I can give my money to support some poor people without any of it going to sluts or negroes." The attitude needs to be completely wiped out for that reason.
