Pepsi cucks to BLM
-
they claim that the new Pepsi ad is too police friendly.
do u rly think this is why people found the ad to be in bad taste?
lmaooooooooooo
-
Defined by who? White liberals? Because they are the ones who think blacks are whitewashed if they don't subscribe to the victim culture.
:crap:
You are actually a white gay man who thinks there is a "victim culture", as if discrimination is completely imaginary.
Amazing.
Absolutely frickn' amazing.Next, you will say there is no such thing as homophobia, and the cops never discriminate against us either.
-
The core problem is that the ad pushes the absolutely ludicrous idea that Pepsi is the solution to all the conflicts and protests that are currently happening out there. It's manipulative in an obvious, hammer-to-the face way- with no subtlety whatsoever. Just a perfect example of very bad advertising.
That is nothing new though.
I'd like to buy the world a home, And furnish it with love.
Grow apple trees and honey bees, And snow white turtle doves.
If I could teach the world to sing, in perfect harmony,
I'd buy the world a Coke, and keep it company…Soda is just flavored carbonated sugar water, so they need to pretend it is something more significant in ads. It brings people together, it defines a generation, it makes people happy, etc.
OUTRAGED!!! How dare Pepsi run an ad that calls for unity and peace! We need to foment war!
BLM and SJWs are like dictators who have no life on their own. They need to instigate war in order to stay relevant.

Who said I am white?
Never had a problem with the police force either.
Btw, victim culture is not acknowledging there is racism, but believing people in today's America are poor (or are being killed by the police) solely because of their skin colour, when the statistics don't back up that claim.

That sounds like Donald Trump to me.

So, Donald Trump is a BLM and a SJW?
Do you even think about what you write before you write it?
Did you read the post higher in the thread that spanked your ass thoroughly for using the term "sjw" like it is a bad thing?
You should get on your knees and THANK those SJWs who are the reason you are not in prison, or a mental hospital, for being an unrepentant Sodomite.

The civil rights movement of past decades made sense. There were discrepancies in the way legislation treated us, but that's not the case anymore.
Today's SJWs are creating faux social justice wars in order to fuel their altruistic personalities.

Actually the Pepsi ad invited so much derision and mockery from all sides- not just from the Liberals- and it centers on just how bad of an ad it is. It's unbelievable in fact that during the whole process from conception to execution, not one member of the creative team stopped for a moment and asked- is this really a good idea?
In fact, there's a really entertaining and insightful list of questions that came out regarding the ad worth reading:
http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2017/04/05/_30_questions_for_pepsi_s_protest_inspired_commercial_starring_kendall_jenner.htmlThe core problem is that the ad pushes the absolutely ludicrous idea that Pepsi is the solution to all the conflicts and protests that are currently happening out there.

It's a commercial. It's not manipulative. Have people become so stupid they cannot separate reality from fiction?
Hate to break it to you but the core purpose of any TV commercial is to manipulate.. to love.. to hate.. to make you feel inadequate.. to make you feel shocked.. to make you feel you are behind as the world moves forward.. whatever it may be but its' main purpose is to manipulate.. that is marketing 101
"the best mothers use this brand of butter.. are you one of the best?" that kind of manipulation is rampant
You know why so many eat bacon for breakfast? A company that sold it was noticing low sales - one day in the 1920s - They went to an ad agency & that ad agency got a Dr on their payroll to sign off that a heavy/big breakfast was good for you.. it started a campaign that was in all papers etc heavily featuring bacon, of course! Rest is history - then in later years, again, it was reinforced..

Who said I am white?
You did, with every single word you write.
Never had a problem with the police force either.
Yes, thanks to the old queens like me who fought for your right to be an obnoxious entitled prick.
You know, us SJWs who fought for the right to marry, the right to hold jobs, the right to assemble in gay bars, the right to cross-dress, and to not be listed as a mental disorder just for being gay.And here you are, complaining about what we did for you.
The civil rights movement of past decades made sense. There were discrepancies in the way legislation treated us, but that's not the case anymore.
No, the civil rights movement was because there were discrepancies in the way SOCIETY treated us, and that still exists. ALL laws exist to regulate how humans treat other humans.
Today's SJWs are creating faux social justice wars in order to fuel their self-serving altruistic personalities.
That is exactly what conservatives said back then, and they were wrong then, and you are wrong now.
Racism EXISTS. It did not go away just because we had a black president. Problems because of how the police respond towards black people are REAL, and those problems do not disappear just because YOU don't know about them.
And we still have problems with the cops- not as bad as in the past, but we are still discriminated against.
If a cop finds a straight couple having sex in a parked car, they get a stern talking to and are told to move on.
If a cop finds a gay couple having sex in a parked car, they get arrested for indecent exposure and lewd and lascivious behavior.
The LAWS themselves are not discriminatory- the selective enforcement IS.

History had people like you saying EXACTLY the same thing about ACT UP and all those groups
and todays RWNJs are just internet trolls and big words behind keyboards

Couldn't give a shit if you were purple
and that is the point.. but you do not get it

You just proved my point. If I don't agree with victim culture, I must be white! How dare a person of colour not subscribe to the victim culture!

Absolutely not complaining about any of that. Thank you for fighting for us.
No, the civil rights movement was because there were discrepancies in the way SOCIETY treated us, and that still exists. ALL laws exist to regulate how humans treat other humans.
There are discrepancies in the way society treats everyone. C'est la vie.
There are laws to protect people from discrimination and theoretically prevent hateful acts against individuals. It's up to each one of us to be decent human beings and prove our own worth to others. It's not anyone's obligation to like someone just because they are a woman/black/gay/etc.
That is exactly what conservatives said back then, and they were wrong then, and you are wrong now.
Today's "social justice" movement looks more like old "social justice" movements in communist countries, and these have been rejected by reason and history.
Racism EXISTS. It did not go away just because we had a black president. Problems because of how the police respond towards black people are REAL, and those problems do not disappear just because YOU don't know about them.
I never said racism does not exist.
And we still have problems with the cops- not as bad as in the past, but we are still discriminated against.

Is there proof that gay people are more likely to be arrested for public indecency than straight people?
And for fuck's sake, are people having sex in public and seriously expecting not to be punished if they get caught?

I think you are the one who doesn't understand the problem with the assumption about my skin colour.
The other member assumed I was white because of the content of my previous post.
It's a problem when people of colour are considered whitewashed if they have a different opinion – example in this thread.

As long as ingroup preference exists, racism will exist. And ingroup preference will always exist because both individuals and groups are both inherently selfish entities who put their own needs above others. Race is arbitrary, like gender, sexuality, nationality, religion but despite being arbitrary they are still important because we as a society make them important for selfish ends such as material acquisition or social capital between members of an ingroup.
What the issue is now that this social posturing is leading to censorship and vitriolic intolerance - which I won't abide for selfish reasons of course.

I am well aware that - for example - not every black person believes BLM is good but it is extremely rare that they would be so against it all, as you are.. or more accurately against it for the reasons you are against it
Just because we do not agree with you doesn't make us stupid

It's a good point of comparison- one is successful because it's a hymn to sentiment- it is carried by a feeling, by emotion- and it doesn't try to oversell the product- and so it becomes a memorable jingle that sells soda on the side.
The other ad oversells the product- it positions it front and center- trying to sell the story that sharing a soda will result in cheers and peaceful protests and smiling police officers. It loses control of the narrative and thus creates a negative reaction.
That's why the Coke ad is remembered fondly many years later, while the Pepsi ad didn't last 2 days. They are worlds apart in execution.

You guys don't seem to know the difference between those who fight for Social Justice and those who are SJWs. There is a huge difference. One side stands up for the rights of others, the other side pretends to do so all while making drama and bitching about the most trivial crap…while ignoring real issues.

Is that really what you think? So if you oppose this inane ad which is less about unity and peace and more about placing Pepsi in the ridiculous position of being the solution to all these protests you are fomenting war? ::)
Let's get this straight- the ad failed because the messaging was just plain DUMB> if you believe that handing out a Pepsi to police officers at a protest will end the conflict and bring everyone together- you're just stupid or utterly naive and gullible. Either way, best to carry a Pepsi around then, in case you ever need to get a cop to just smile and let you go. :laugh:

Point Taken - and to add to this - there are degrees of all of this. Its not like everyone is totally right or totally left. I think it is when EOTHER side go extreme then it is just ridiculous

I never said any of you are stupid for not agreeing with me, but I think we can agree to disagree on most things.

Uh, no. It's an ad – Pepsi is obviously not going to solve protests. And quite frankly, outside of the liberal bubble, very few people saw the 'problem' in this ad.
If the matter was 'messaging', why was Pepsi forced to recall the ad and apologize? There are plenty of stupid ads out there but I don't see companies being forced to recall & apologize just because they were 'dumb'.
SJWs have a tendency to want to ban anything they don't like or agree with. They act like the Soviets they usually speak so passionately of.

This ad for Poopsi will go down as one of the most misguided and myopic in media history. And KJ is devastated? Please, by all means, feel free to donate your entire paycheck to any charity that helps people get a leg up.
