So this whole thread is basically a giant crock of shıt due to OP posting the wrong vid to analyze in the first place? No wonder this jawn went off the rails in so many directions so quickly. :mjlol:

@Po pimp This is like a math teacher passing out the final for his trig class to his algebra class. Just imbecilic thread starting for real. :why:

Bunch of 40 year olds that don't know how to post the correct links :mjlol:

But then again this site janky as hell, the functionality is still in 2005 :mjlol:

Since you mentioned me, I’ll respond. First of all, I saw this shyt trending online so I went to YouTube to see what the big fuss was about and brought it to The Coli. I saw the “Sydney Sweeney has great jeans/genes” slogan, so I thought maybe that was it. There’s a reason I titled it “racist propaganda or much ado about nothing” because for ME, while I see the subliminal messaging, it wasn’t that big a deal to cause all that controversy. How was I supposed to know there was another ad that got taken down? I didn’t do a deep dive because it wasn’t that serious. Got nikkas on here losing their minds. I even had someone send me a DM over this shyt. I know The Coli loves their “pawgs” but gotdamm
:russ:To me, that is weirdest thing about this website is that there are "Black":jbhmm: male posters openly lusting after white women, yet when they see a Black man with a white woman, they want to attack him:mjpls:.

At best it’s an unforced error. To me it’s like when brands “innocently” put black models in shyt with monkeys or watermelon.

I will say though… would whoever came up with this ad, even consider it if Sydney Sweeney was another race… or even a brunette?

A lot of these commercials are farmed out to an agency who is working on 50 different assignments and they put together these activations quickly. A lot are managed and/or ideated by 20 or 30-something middle class white women who haven't really experienced the world outside of their Instagram explore page.

They probably thought it'd be a nice play on words jeans/genes, not understanding the historical subtext. Not caping, because in marketing you need to know these things, but we're being exposed to more people who don't have the education or honestly even the intellectual curiosity to ask if there is some greater context.
