Will giving a cop a soda end sexism? Will it end racism?

It turns out, yes, yes it will.

I wish they served Pepsi products at more fast food places so I could get Diet Mt. Dew instead of the inferior Diet Coke. Wake up McDonald's or I may not be able to engage with you much longer.

Teen gets into Stanford after writing ‘#BlackLivesMatter’ 100 times on app

This New Jersey student’s unconventional approach to applying for college paid off for him.

On his Stanford University application, Zaid Ahmed was posed the question “What matters to you, and why?”

The 18-year-old activist from Princeton, New Jersey, decided to use the opportunity to write “#BlackLivesMatter” 100 times.

To his surprise, the answer caught the attention of the California school’s admissions office and Ahmed received his acceptance letter on Friday.

“I didn’t think I would get admitted to Stanford at all, but it’s quite refreshing to see that they view my unapologetic activism as an asset rather than a liability,” Ahmed told Mic.

Those are about "'hey let's celebrate all the different cultures in our country", this ad tries for "lets all get along" but comes off dismissive in a "if only you guys weren't so mean to the cops/both sides are the same" way

The only part that looks weird to me is the part where they literally diagram the "gravitational pull" of the brand, otherwise this definitely looks real

Why can't advertising be like in Mad Men where drunk white guys slap something together over lunch and sell it to other drunker white guys before leaving to bang their secretaries?

Is this the cost of diversity?!

That's how people used to get movies and music put out.

Literally people would go "I don't care. People like it. People will pay money to see it. Who gives a poo poo?". Then a couple of yuppie dipshits happened and that's what we're stuck with.

Because loving psychologists and technocrats just had to get involved and make advertising "effective". I want it brought back to the days when it was just someone half-excitedly reading the product specs over banal footage of someone else using it.

beyond just this, the actual work in advertising can be fun depending on the person and the actual job. I enjoy the research elements a lot, and copywriting can be fun in collaboration with a visual person.

that said I'm also trying to go into grant writing instead of advertising and am hoping I don't have actually have to work within my major :v: the culture is largely terrible.
