Valvoline is partnering with the new Transformers movie, and it features Valvoline workers thanking the Autobots for protecting the Earth. Except in the new movie Optimus Prime has gone rogue and is the bad guy, and the commercial has scenes from the trailers of him trying to kill Bumblebee. Unfortunately, I can't find it anywhere now because they took it down and put up a new ad without those scenes.

All this talk about fast food and it made me remember some people saying that McDonalds in Malaysia actually managed to beat KFC at their own game with their fried chicken.

"There's nothing like it" is definitely designed to troll KFC.

You can tell KFC is trying to counter this. With sex and memes!

Spicy KFC beats the hell out of mcds ayam goreng. Every time I've had the mcds stuff it was kinda soggy and had no noticeable crunchiness at all. That said, double spicy chicken mcdeluxe is way better than the zinger, and plus KFC doesn't have 24 hour delivery so it kinda evens out.

I'd never actually eaten KFC in my life before I moved to Malaysia and I was shocked and disappointed to find out that the choice of regular/spicy isn't a thing that exists in the west. Sorry about your tasteless greasechunks, ya blandos.

I think I am doomed to be a terrible student stereotype forever

FYI, KFC is introducing delivery in Malaysia although right now it's in select locations only.

The series of ads for it is probably the most millennial-hipster Malaysian thing.

Why did they have to stop airing it?

People complained it was tacky to sell burgers using the death of someone's parent. If it's real life and you go to McDonalds because your late father loved to, it's probably heartwarming. But when it's an advertisement specifically written that way by a fast food company, it probably feels wrong to many people.

They have those too. In fact it's usually what my mom buys.

Do they serve instant ramen in US airlines? That's usually the cheapest thing that can be considered a 'meal' that I saw airlines serve. Even Emirates have them.

This was on Malaysian TV recently. A pressure cooker they were selling on a home shopping channel blew up live on air.

Anyone who supports both Nazis and the KKK at the same time are probably extra stupid since the Nazis refuse to associate themselves with the Klan, even using them in propaganda posters as an example of threats coming from America.

It's kinda hilarious now, though. Nowadays, Germany is whole lot kinkier than the US.

For more games where you apply violance to racists, play Mafia 3 where you play a black guy in 1960s New Orleans. You can walk into "whites only" shops and punch the store owner, and kill a whole lot of KKK.

on a side note you know what really grinds my gears. when searching for this video I had to scroll through a bunch of "_______ react to racist commercial" before finding the commercial

This is also a remake of an Italian commercial, which was just as racist in a different way.

This checks out. Native Americans receive +2d5 HP if the healing spell is cast by a Shaman class.

edit:
Saying that Islam forbids pain and suffering is true and sounds almost progressive if you ignore everything else they wrote there. And it's also not limited to Islam anyway.

Unfortunately the trailer makes the movie look gritty and serious with the color palette of Sin City, so the poster just comes off as an alternate universe where the Justice League movie was contemporary with Batman Forever.

Which trailer? The movie was already conceived to be lighter to show how Superman revealing himself gradually turn the world from a gritty place into a comic book. Post production added red lighting to the alien invasion scenes that was darker in the earlier trailers, and reshoots by Joss Whedon (replacing Zack Snyder who left because his daughter died) made several scenes brighter. Even before that, Whedon was already rewriting the script to add his trademark dialog so even the earlier trailers had moments of humor including for Batman whose character is trying to play nice with people after years of being a crazed loner. They even finally have Batman acknowledge that "money" is his superpower (and he was also appropriately shown watching 'roided-up Rick and Summer beating up the devil and criminals).
