So...TV Commercials
 

While I try my best to not watch commercials, it's somewhat unavoidable. I have noticed in the last year that in AT LEAST 50% of the commercials I see where a partnership or marriage is implicated, the couple is mixed race. Has anyone else noticed this trend?

I really don't care who marries whom (e.g. there are some Latina chicks whose bones I'd jump in a millisecond), but do we really have to try this hard? Since when is it a badge of shame to marry or co-habitate within your own race? It just seems all very contrived to me.

Discuss.

You will embrace their values!

My wife complains about the same thing! :leaving:

What I've noticed is how many TV shows/movies are now throwing in random acts of gayness/homosexuality.

U.M.

All advertising is that way...gotta be inclusive.

Probably ten years ago, we had a client that had a billboard ad campaign that wasn't well received.

It said something like "4 out of 5 people prefer...."
The image was 4 crackers standing on a black line and the 5th was a black guy dangling by one hand at the end of the line.

Woof.

Very fortunate it was before the PC culture had taken over and social media wasn't as widespread.

I am white. My wife is white. But we adopted a black dog...My other dog is brown. We also have two cats and one is black.

We are a mixed race family.

The fact that you even made that observation makes you an evil right wing conservative prejudiced racist, homophobic, misogynistic, bigoted, Hitlarian Trump-loving capitalist Zionist Nazi pedophile and overall mean ol' poopy-head. Your Klan brethren will be proud.

This has been quite noticeable. Also if kids shown with two white "parents", many times a adopted(more than likely) other race kid is show like at dinner time or breakfast

Burglar alarm commercials never show a black perp doing the crime, but most times it is a white guy who burglarizes a black owned house and is cought by a black cop.

i see similar patterns on these home search/home improvement shows.

I don't see race, so I haven't noticed.



:D

You left out fuckhead. Get it right, son. :dance:

We don't bother to even comment.....not like we do any decisions off a TV commercial anyway......:shots:

I think House Hunters (one of my favorite shows) should have a separate show called Gay House Hunters. I would never miss it because I find them hysterically funny. I don't know why, but gay men looking for a house is just funny.

Then how do you know who to charge higher interest rates to?:hide:

:D

* fuck-head

If you repeat something enough, it becomes true, right?

I noticed the trend in TV commercials too.
Has anyone else noticed the population trend in some counties where Caucasians are no longer the majority race?

My wife watches that show all the time and I asked the same question.

Do they just look for gay men? :lol:
