THE SHOCKING, PROBLEMATIC, AND CLEARLY UNACCEPTABLE PERSISTENCE OF MISOGYNY IN THE UK’S AD INDUSTRY
Everyone knows that the main problem with advertising isn’t that it’s cheesy and deceptive and pushes unnecessary junk upon a gullible captive audience of brainwashed consumers”it’s that sometimes ads will offend the delicate sensibilities of women who’ve never worked an honest day in their lives.
Witness the recent outrage regarding a campaign in Ireland for the soft drink Sprite. Marketed at men and anthropomorphizing a bottle of Sprite as if it were a woman, the campaign included phrases such as “She’s seen more ceilings than Michelangelo,” “You’re not popular, you’re easy,” and “A 2 at 10 is a 10 at 2!” An easily shocked woman referred to the ads as “shocking,” whereas an easily offended woman referred to them as “brutally offensive.” Naturally, the Coca-Cola Co. fell all over themselves apologizing for being so shocking and offensive.
Another ridiculous estrogen-addled uproar emerged in the wake of a campaign for the Gap clothing chain in the UK that dared to depict a boy as a “little scholar” and a girl as a “social butterfly.” Yes, that’s all it took. That’s truly how insane the world has become. Writing for the Guardian“where sheltered British progressives go to bemoan the fact that they don’t experience any legitimate suffering in their lives”a surly Indian woman whined that the ads were an example of “everyday sexism” that were “ludicrous” and “insidious.” She wrote that she and her female partner frequently chastise themselves for treating their three-year-old boy like a boy.
Placing a cherry atop the Gender Insanity Sundae, the chairman of Saatchi & Saatchi was suspended last week for daring to suggest that there was no gender problem in the advertising industry.
BLACK MAN FEELS RACIALLY TRIGGERED BY “DON”T TREAD ON ME” HAT
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is currently reviewing a 2014 discrimination complaint from a black man who says that a white coworker’s baseball cap bearing the Gadsden Flag”i.e., a coiled snake on a yellow background with the words “DON’T TREAD ON ME””was racially offensive since the flag’s designer Christopher Gadsden was a “slave trader & owner of slaves.” The complainant also complained that the flag is a “historical indicator of white resentment against blacks stemming largely from the Tea Party.”
It is increasingly alleged that anyone who opposes big government merely does so to hide their racism. The obvious truth is all the fabricated racial hysteria of the past few generations is merely an excuse for the government to expand its power.
