stumfelter 3,034 Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 I bet every other country in the world that gets English adverts must think that all British couples are mixed race, it truly is getting embarrassing... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SheepChaser 8,089 Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 Who gives a shit ? You marry who you want to marry, and as many folk get it wrong as get it right. I’m not sure tv adds can influence who you decide to marry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dytkos 17,818 Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 Re Telly Ads, I like the one for "Pure Cremation" or similar, matey quotes, "And my lot know how to party" it then cuts to a room full of partygoers lol Cheers, D. . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Why do companies spend billions on it then? Edit just checked its £657 billion a year industry. That's a whole lot of money to spend on something that doesn't work.

But I think “making you marry black people” might be a stretch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In a continent where the indigenous white population birth rates are well below replacement level (literally at the point of no return) what other logical reason could there be for the constant and relentless promotion of bi-racial relationships ? They wouldn’t treat a rare frog like it in its own habitat…..so why humans ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,798 Posted December 1, 2021 Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 I don't really get very worked up about this sort of stuff, but from a purely rational view of the facts, if this same stuff was common place in an indigenous population of a former European colony then it'd likely be considered insidious and potentially a watered down tactic of genocide. I mean, I don't for one minute believe the marketing teams of Matalan etc have genocidal or even political intentions they are purely reacting to the current socio-political landscape and this sort of stuff is what is deemed the most effective from a cost/benefit point of view. This PC ideology is mainstream because there's no serious push back and it's welcomed by a politically active minority. A minority who seem to dominate in certain areas of the establishment ie media, education etc. A more conservative agenda would provoke serious resistance and hit profits. Simple as that. Though the marketing teams of Matalan are only concerned with profitability, the people behind the ideology and the predominance of the ideology are very concerned with socio-political change. I'm not sure what my views on this are tbh, it's where libertarianism clashes with conservatism. Nonetheless I don't think dismissing concerns for the future of one's ethnic group is any more productive than actual racism. 7 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WILF 47,432 Posted December 1, 2021 Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 Let’s not forget that TV advertising in the U.K. is required by the standards authority governing TV advertising to include blacks and Asians out of proportion to their actual percentage in the population. Its actually a rule from “above” that they put more in. Has been for over 20 years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Are you trying to tell us that the Matalan Christmas jumpers, and onesies haven't been made with ethically sourced native wool? 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
