The Migration of Cultural Pioneers over 2600 Years

Anti-racism ad from Australia

modulous says...

One advert need not use all psychological tactics. I don't think they are using guilt here, though some may feel guilty watching it. The primary drive here is humanising other races and demonizing the voice in your head that argues otherwise. I think trying to add positive reinforcement, without being transparent to the point of undermining your point, within a 90 second window while also getting across your main message is a bit more of a challenge than you might realize.

Needs more positive reinforcement IMHO, not just guilt.

'Gay, not gay' is nothing more than a distraction alla Edward Bernays to me, baby-People of all races, creeds, colors are easily and idiocratic-ally sucked-into identity/orientation mumbo-jumbo is my real 'beef' with adverts like these....They're produced by assholes for morons. Enjoy your super-sized slavery, would you like cheese on that??

Can't argue that BK has turned to complete shit as have ALL fast-food chain-driven shit-holes.

aww ching, don't be like that. I know you care, since you decided to comment.

As for why.... because it's just bad food. It's unhealthy and more importantly, it tastes like crap.

I have nothing against unhealthy food, but if I'm going to eat something unhealthy, it can at least be tasty too.

Woman photoshopped in different countries - What is Beauty?

entr0py says...

Yeah, I do think it's just a random smattering of the Photoshoppery you can expect from mechanical turk and fiver, and can't be taken to express the standards of the culture.

. . . But, that was fun, and a great idea. It would be interesting to see how genuine experts working in fashion magazines or advertizing around the world would approach it.

But of course, none of those are better than just her. No need to cover her up with pixels.

Friends Help Blind and Deaf Soccer Fan Experience a Match

Mind blowing. I was just wondering the other day how blind/dead people communicate after seeing an advert for a charity that supplies sensory toys to those children. I suddenly wondered how the hell i'd go about learning how to communicate with people without being able to see or hear anything - i didn't come up with anything at all.

Hard Not To Like WWE Wrestling After This

dannym3141 says...

9 years on the epitaph... What a fucking cruel life it is. I gave some money to a children with cancer collection man before, glad i did.

The wrestling is often hard to watch when not done by people who are really good at what they do. But holy shit some of those guys do things that money can't buy for some of the most vulnerable people. Ok, so that kid didn't get to grow up and live his life and do whatever he wanted to do out in the world, but right there and then at 8 years old he wanted to be a wrestler, and god fucking damned if he didn't get to pin HHH in a stadium in front of a crowd of respected wrestlers!

Most people will never get to do anything remotely like that in their whole lives, but that kid did and i think that counts for something, at least to him, and that's all that matters really. Ok a lot of them are getting paid well and a lot of people profit from the business but the wrestlers do go through a lot of immediate and exponential long term pain, and deliver one of a kind experiences to kids who don't get as long as the rest of us to find and have such experiences.

I think on balance i'm happy to pay for the odd pay per view and watch their adverts. If you can find a way to enjoy it (even ironically) then it's a good way to waste time and money.

Honest Trailers - Gravity

A10anis says...

It came across as an education vid for students of CGI; "These are the effects we can accomplish now kids."
The film as a film? Ludicrous plot. Inane dialogue and pretty dire acting -I kept expecting gorgeous George to fill in the holes with a coffee advert. 9/10 for effects. 0/10 for everything else.

Name a couple please? How many 'empty words' can you find in your statement here if it's broken-down in a Socratic fashion? Sounds more like an advert for some deodorant or corn chip, ACTually

VoodooV said:

all those empty platitudes "freedom" "greatest nation on earth"

meaningless terms all designed to be an appeal to emotion. And while yes, the other party does it too, the right relies on it far more than the left.

great nations don't sit around talking about how great they are and constantly patting themselves on the back. Great nations are too busy being great and don't have time for empty words.
