I get so irate when people sing jingles at me. It was fucking everyone I knew growing upā classmates, family, everyone but maybe one friend. And only because we didnāt sing or do anything whimsical. Why do people enjoy advertising at me? At least they could try to get paid for shoveling [product] at me, but it doesnāt even register. Iād long ago given up trying to express that I would like to avoid being advertised at. Its just something fun to do to eachother! We sing the corporate jingle and we all have a laugh! Wow! What an interesting way of thinking! Lets go buy [product]!

Youāre provably over 40? There used to be a lot fewer channels, and less things to buy (less ads total) so more people would see an individual ad.

That was genuinely and embarrassment for him, and probably hurt cyber truck sales. More like, sharing his vilr racist tweets or video of him performing a Nazi salute

Nobody in the world bought cubic truck based on itās merits. Itās an ideological purchase, and nothing those goobers do or say changes their camp, so it canāt hurt or boost the sales.

Recently an ad caught my eye by showing somebody putting mustard and ketchup on the shoes on their feet. I have no clue what they were selling.

Look, this politician says really stupid things. Letās all point out how stupid he is, share it, comment on it and boost it in any possible way.

My preferred curse for journalism is that every time they announce the statement of someone totally unqualified, like Trump, they must also announce the statement of someone equally unqualified, like a drunkard on the street who believes theyāre all lizard people that were sent by the Egyptian pharoahs.

I mean, I was hoping we could give genuinely intelligent people and educated experts more of a platform, but I guess that works too.

Converse pulls ādeeply upsettingā advert after backlash
The Converse name is seen on a storefront at an airport in Singapore earlier this monthGetty Images A photo posted on Converseās Instagram account was described as evoking KKK imagery
American footwear brand Converse has pulled an advert that social media users said evoked Ku Klux Klan imagery, saying it recognised āthat we got this wrongā.
The photo, posted to the companyās Instagram account, received backlash online after critics described lighting in the image as looking like a white pointed hood.
A pair of shoes, dangling in the picture, were also likened to an image of a lynching victim by social media users.
