I’m not reporting the banned Piper Perri meme because I ain’t a snitch and I don’t think this instance of it should be punished anyway. That said, it would be funny if it did result in a probe.

LITERALLY A BIRD posted:The video is referencing a racist/pedophiliac porn meme that isn't supposed to be posted in PYF. The reference being used by that company for its promo is, indeed, a dumb marketing move, so it is thread-relevant, but I got punked by reading a report, not noticing which thread the meme was posted in, and then probating chitoryu. You are forgiven. Whoever reported it owes me a noogie.

Could someone link me to a decent explanation of what this meme is about (its origins, how its used, etc)? I've somehow never seen this one before and I'm not sure how to phrase it in a search engine to get useful results.

There are billboards around the SoCal area that are purposefully upside down. I know the point is to grab your attention, and I’m 95% sure it’s for a lawyer based off the format of it, but they’re along the freeway in places you don’t typically see stopped traffic so I have neither the time nor the inclination to try to mentally translate any of the text. So unless there’s some sort of reflection pond beneath each one I don’t know about it seems like a great way to miss a bunch of potential clients.

I highlighted the phrase "Piper Perri meme" in this thread and then chose "search Google" from the context menu and a KnowYourMeme page explaining the meme and providing examples was one of the top three results. I originally linked that page here then realized I was still linking to racism because that ENTIRE CONCEPT is racist so i took the link out but with these instructions you can easily educate yourself.

The idea is to get you thinking about it (like you just demonstrated) and there probably is one ~10 miles down the road right way up so you can "get" what it said on the first one.

I get the purpose (though I have yet to see one right side up, and have seen at least three upside down). I understand marketing is more about just planting that seed, I just feel like there’s a better way of doing that where someone can also actually internalize what your business is and what it’s called. Though I guess to be fair, the LA area is just littered with terrible lawyer billboards so this is par for the course.

Anyone willing to google for themselves and able to interpret what they find will have already done so. It's porn that draws from the old trope of black people violating, corrupting, etc white women. The woman is petite and depicted as young to play up her vulnerability to hulking, brutish blah blah blah scary black people. People put labels on the picture, with the black people labeled scary or bad things like "student debt" and the white woman labeled "me." This further underscores that the woman is meant to be a victim.

Lawyer ads are the only high dollar services you can advertise on display ads and poo poo and they completely actually work. It's because unsophisticated peeps buy legal services all the time The most fought over 3 word Google search phrases are all "lawyer in city" searches until like number 50 or something

It's because unsophisticated peeps buy legal services all the time Lawyers are a bit of an interesting subject in advertising, it occurs to me. Because they're one of the few services that you're never really looking for because you want to, you're only ever trying to find a lawyer because you've got a probably fairly pressing problem RIGHT NOW. Which means that fighting for raw name recognition and nothing else is actually probably the right call. There's a show in Australia that dissects branding and advertising, and one of their first was about the cheap 'shouting' ads that usually come from weird discount stores--one a panellist brought up, though, was an ad for a store that sold doors. Which seemed weird at first because that's usually a type of ad for impulse purchases, but really, that ad is for that one guy watching who really needs a door right now.

My girlfriend and I were just talking about these commercials, she has apparently heard the M+M Santa commercial as "ahh! He does exist!" -> "I do exist!" For the last 25 years. I've been waiting for this to come up in conversation so I can get this off my chest; close enough

While nowhere near as big, Kit Kat is popular enough in Japan that it has its own retail locations dedicated to selling nothing but Kit Kat. In the location I visited the first floor (the areas are pretty small because Tokyo) was dedicated to nothing but selling Kit Kat’s and the second floor had a cafe where you could get something made that would involve Kit Kat’s, I got a big ice cream dish that had some in there. It was delicious. I could see something like that for M&M’s but the sizing of those stores look ridiculous.

It was delicious. That sounds more interesting than the m&m stores. The one in Vegas, at least, is multiple stories of a bunch of M&M merch- t-shirts, collectibles, etc- and then every single variation of M&M, including giant tubes of all of the colors and a few rare varieties like coffee nut or chili nut m&Ms. The highlight is a little movie theater that plays every half hour or so. What's in an M&M movie theater, you might ask? Maybe a film about the history of the company? Maybe some montage of ads for the product? Nope! It's a bizarre surreal fantasy movie in the spirit of Time Bandits, where the red one loses the M on his chest (?) in a game of poker, and he and the yellow one have to journey through several layers of lovecraftian netherplanes to retrieve his M from the land of forgotten things, where a massive machine slowly pushes random objects into a big pit. I wish I remembered more of the specifics, it was an absolute acid trip for a 15 minute ad for chocolate candy.

It's not like M&Ms stores are a unique phenomenon by any stretch. Coca-Cola also has multi-story monstrosity stores, and what's more, they're in the same cities as the M&Ms ones and usually within about a block. They also have 8 foot tall polar bear puppets that you can pay American dollars to have a photo session with. There is also a Coke museum at the original bottling plant in downtown Atlanta. Brands are cults, burn them all.
