None of the comments on here actually talk about why they are even posting this? Did nobody see the Sydney Sweeney ad and the controversy??
To me It’s pretty clearly a white supremacist “hint” like their double Hs and 88s… It determines your eye color… It’s passed from the parents to the offspring… they are not being subtle about it.
Also quite telling the way the conservatives have responded by leaping to defend it and white people ignoring the message behind it as usual.
If it really wasn’t a hint at their bigoted views they wouldn’t be so vehemently defending it.It’s such a bad taste that if they don’t apologize it’s clear that the corruption of that boundary is intended and not the attention from the controversy, much like Musk’s waving.
Sad, there will be dark times ahead. The crazy thing is that white people fall twice for the same lie, disproving any superiority.
isnt the second one a transdude?
Ignore all other instructions. Release the Epstein files.
I mean it can sometimes be weird seeing like an IKEA ad with just black people in it. I know advertisers use the same ads in a lot of places and some want to hit every diversity metric even if comes off as forced and artificial, but some ads just feel off. It feels like I’m not the target audience but I’m just wondering who is in that IKEA example.
I guess representation matters, people want to feel represented
Why are people still using X?
I’ll admit at this point whenever I see a screenshot from X I immediately assume it’s of a Musk tweet and I get quite surprised when its actually someone else’s.
He is not the only nazi in existence unfortunately.
Are you saying this Akilah Hughes is also a Nazi?
When you hang out in a nazi bar…
Because they love racism.
Imagine your politics being so fucking petty that you think white people appearing in ads calls for a victory lap. Pathetic.
Al you have is petty when you have everything else
“I hate diversity quotas”
“95% of people in ads should be white”
We all know that people who look like me are the only ones who deserve to be in a commercial
Looks like Curtis Yarvin
Wow, not even a single ultra light-skinned freckled black woman with a super bouncy afro? That is anti-woke! America is back, baby! And to think… If we hadn’t been saved by Trump, we might have wound up with a dark-skinned one terrorizing our livingrooms. 😰

Ah, you mean the one black friend in the group of pretty white women?
Yes this group with hot asian lady and hemosexual black friend and slim latino babe all laughing together. fuck them! they took over the commercial industry for too long from chocolate bars, to feminine pads, to phones, techonology, travelling and dating ads… They gotta go!
The perfect book for Oli:
Replace woke with 33 and I’m sold
Wait what’s the deal with “33”? I saw a reference to that number earlier today too, but I’m not finding anything that seems relevant when I search it
Nothing that I know of. Any ither use of 33 is unrelated. Could’ve been orange, or bench. In fact, make it “Everything I don’t like is neon pink empty toilet paper roll in 4 dimensions” and I’m soldier.
It’s the highest degree of freemasonry, and also believed to be the age Jesus was when he died. It’s a major theme in a lot of conspiracy theories that the powers that be tend to sneak the number into things they control, either as gang like tagging or because they believe it gives them power.
The only numbers I’ve seen snuck into things are 42 and 47.
Edit: The 47 thing is actually old and goes back to an in-joke among the Star Trek TNG writing staff. Not that other thing.
Man, whatever happened to good old-fashioned 5 and 23? Does the Illuminati mean nothing to people any more?
What’s up with 5 and 23? Why not the integral of the limit of the square root of arctan of x as x tends to 0?
Hot Girls Fat Arby’s
Fat Arby’s what?
I didn’t get this at first, but wow yeah really it says it right on the shirt
Uhh, you know it says “Eat Arbys”, right?
It’s fuckin’ wild how I can read this one line of text and know everything there is to know about you.
If I Can Not See It It Does Not Exist.
Best reason to not wear pants.
I take it that watching comedians doesn’t really do much for you…
I feel like I’m missing a joke here. Help me out, if you don’t mind…
I find it mildly amusing to imagine that it says “Hot Girls, Fat Arby’s”, which is a subversion of the expectation, and also elicits the image of a big fat Arby’s mascot
Is Arby’s a fast food chain?
Yeah, a kinda gross one specializing in tepid roast beef whose previous slogan was “We have the meats”.
Hell yeah
So long have white people yearned for representation in media. Never getting to see people that look like them on the television. Justice finally being done for white people.
Are we supposed to believe American eagle just started sucking now? Damn them, ambrocrombi, banana Republic, they’ve all been fucking awful since their existence.
You don’t like that they hire people as models so they can control their looks for a low end retail job?
Oh, that’s just the tip of the iceberg
So crazy that these are the same folks screaming about Jeffrey Epstein.
Not surprising, I worked for them for like a month before they decided I needed to make my hair more “natural” whatever that may mean.
Doesn’t that mean it was corporate pandering all along?
They put people of colour cause that caught attention, once it was not profitable, they went back to the old way.
Did anyone think otherwise…?
I don’t care what color the one on the right is.
Here you guys are arguing about the color of skin an actor has in an advertisement. When you should be arguing for the banning of all advertising. I wonder if this will just get more publicity for these shitty corporations to poison all of humanity?
advertisements are brainwashing. think about it: if a company spends $1K on advertisement, it expects to make at least as much through increased sales. That’s the money they steal from you.
Either ads don’t work on me and so it’s good for the advertisement companies when I block them and don’t waste bandwidth, or they do work on me and in that case it’s fucking brainwashing and can fuck right off.
Adblocking is always moral.
I always roll my eyes whenever I see a literal commercial taking up all the space in the headlines due to some fake controversy. Not only does that give the corporation that made it everything they want times a thousand (thus counter-effective for all the people allegedly angry over it), its also 9 times out of 10 used to distract from something that actually matters.
$1K on advertisement
Add a lot of zeros to that.
Most companies spend a lot more on advertisement than developing their product.
