That is not true, we had months without a school shooting (during the pandemic, when everyone was remote)!

A new form of dumb marketing I've noticed: ads for media that doesn't quickly tell you the name. Some have the sense to at least have the name in the bottom corner, but there's still constant ads on youtube which don't have the name within the five seconds before you can skip.

I just got an ad for a game, I was willing to learn more, I sat through an extra minute expecting a title, but it didn't bother to tell me what it was and I'm not going to wait the sixteen minutes of ad to find out.

:same:

The most recent one I remember is for that ad for the stupid Gossip Girl reboot/sequel. Halfway through the ad, I started going "An unseen woman is narrating and everyone looks rich, this is Gossip Girl, ain't it?" and it took SO LONG to finally loving flash the name on the screen.

This requires some context.

In late summer, Parmigiano Reggiano (the PDO cheese from Italy) did a series of commercials about a group of people partecipating in a MasterChef-style contest, in which they had to cook dishes using the cheese.

All was well until they decided to do an episode about the protagonists visiting the dairy, to see how the cheese is actually made.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeUHImm4itA

Transcript is as follows:

Dairy boss: "Parmigiano Reggiano only contains milk, salt, and rennet. Nothing else. Plus some natural bacteria found in the whey. The only additive is Renatino, who's been working here since he was eighteen, every day, 365 days a year."

Young guy: "Renatino, let me tell you. You're great."

Girl 1: "The best."

Girl 2: "Do you really work 365 days a year?"

Renatino: "Yes."

Young guy: "And... Are you happy?"

Renatino: "Yes."


And this is the short version. There's a longer version of the ad, over four minutes long, with several added scenes, where it turns out that Renatino literally has never taken a day off or been on vacation in his entire life.

So we have the ad basically normalising someone working literally like a slave, without any off days or vacation days or sick days, while all the while infantilising them (the "-ino" suffix is a diminutive, and often used for very small children -- if you use it when talking to someone, you're basically talking down to them).

This ad was originally only released online, but this month they started airing it on TV as well. And let me tell you, it didn't go over that well: there's been an uproar online, labour associations have denounced the ad, and a boycott of the cheese has been called (they've already seen a slight drop in sales); if you'll notice, comments to the video have been turned off. Meanwhile, there's been several editorials published in mainstream newspapers, which amount to "Why are people complaining? It's just an ad, is all, you all should go and touch grass." Basically damage control on the part of the burgeoise.

Huh, it was there this morning.

Ah well, this is the full-sized video (until they pull that too) which is kinda cringe; the relevant part starts at 1 minute 29 seconds:

Dairy chief: "This is Renato, one of our youngest employees, he's been doing this since he was 18, every morning, 365 days per year."

Then again, at 2 minutes 40 seconds:

Young guy: "Renatino let me tell you, you're great."

Girl 1: "The best."

Girl 2: "Do you really work 365 days per year?"

*Renato nods*

Girl 1: "So you've never been to the sea?"

Renato: "No."

Girl 3: "To Paris?"

Renato: "No."

Young guy: "Ever been skiing?"

Renato: "Nope."

Young guy 2: "And... Are you happy?"

Renato: "Yes."


Even with full context, it doesn't really go over that well, does it? :laugh:
