Kaizoku posted:I actually like these ads, they seem to be mocking the people they are marketing towards without said people necessarily realizing. What is your problem with them? Maybe I'm cynical but it really feels like it's ramming home how asinine 90% of this poo poo is. It's too easy for me to imagine the two of them reading the scripts before hand and asking if people really say this poo poo. I can totally understanding hating the material, though. And anything that's repeated ad nauseam. RadioDog fucked around with this message at 16:07 on Dec 5, 2013 |

I'm convinced they did it on purpose just so Dad would have a reason to use his "faucet" app. I mean, when else could/would you use something like that. I bet they're all leaving the faucets on all the time just so that smug fucker can turn them off with his phone. "Yeah, we do that just so he'll shut the gently caress up about it."

Barudak posted:Regardless of whether or not you think it is a strictly cold and calculating move (probably not on the creative side likely on the client side) the ad itself reinforces the notion that these couples are all equally valid which is positive. You're right that what they think is fundamentally irrelevant because whatever their position they've decided that the "correct" position is that of including such individuals. I don't think its wrong to say "x company is greedy so it used a more inclusive group of people to try to expand their audience and thats a good thing" Equally valid consumers, nothing more. If this were a "title loan" company targeting gay couples, or a divorce lawyer, the motivation wouldn't be any different. There's just a new customer base. It sounds like you've embraced the cynical truth behind it (that finally they get to lump themselves in with the rest of us suckers) but posters acting like it's anything else are fooling themselves. That said, it is a good sign. Fog Tripper posted:I've seen other comments like this in this thread. Is it possible for commercials to have a black person in them without cries of racism? Christ sake people. What's funny is I'd never seen the ad until I read that comment, and entirely interpreted it that way at first (until I got the jist of it).

"Oh, hey, there is a dog and/or dogs in this movie...we need a song to play over the trailer to remind people of said dogs, even though the word 'Dog' or 'Dogs' is probably in the title of the movie. What song do we use?"
"Well...there's a song about letting dogs out...we'll have to play that over a scene of the dog and or dogs running, ideally after they have been
