Where did we go wrong

[Watts307]

Watching the UFC fight card this evening and this commercial is none stop...

Where the F$%K did we go wrong where were having commercials like this lol

Chicks with mustaches, 400lb obese "super models", male singers in dresses.

Why does my phone have pregnant men emojis?

Bring on the meteor strike.

 

[Nick87]

I saw that commercial the other day and it left me confused. I don't know if that was a guy or girl or if we are even supposed to know. Or why they put so much emphasis on he or shes mustache. Wierd

 

[Scott85]

We had to research it. It’s a biological female with a fake mustache.

 

[jejack26]

glad I'm not the only one, I wasn't sure what they were even marketing

 

[rjthehunter]

The world was a hell of a lot less weird when bullying was more prevelant lol

 

[thomas89]

You want to be a lady with a mustache ? OK cool. Do you.

The second you come dancing into the classroom you are a distraction and should be removed from disrupting others. Not much has got to do with your mustache.

Somehow “bullying” has gotten lumped in with “upholding societal norms” and it’s truly not looking good.

If you don’t get it, you can relax. You’re not the market they’re trying to reach.
What I’m seeing is an attempt to sell jackets to young folks using the theme of body-positivity. All they’re saying is, “If there’s an item that you think will make you happy, buy it from Amazon!”

Is dancing into your classroom distracting? Yes. Luckily it was a set on a sound stage, so no one’s education was actually disrupted.

Advocating for bullying people into adhering to your preferred social norms is pretty antithetical to the American values of personal liberty, freedom of expression, pursuit of happiness, etc.

You can say whatever you want but when this new norm starts to become celebrated, getting jobs because your orientation is the only qualifier, starts to infect our military, and is pushed onto children…I start to have a problem.

Elections have consequences.

Where have you been? Affirmative action government employment "goals" (quotas) have been around since the Carter administration ... at least. Nothing new.

Re the OP's complaint, that commercial is also nothing new. It's been around up here for months. I didn't have a clue what it was about so hard to get upset. Now I know. Oh well. The new Dove shampoo commercial highlighting chubby chicks cellulite flesh is refreshingly different. Not that I'm at all into chubby chicks but it is nice to see something artful done with normal sized models. And yes, obesity has become the norm unfortunately. I don't embrace it ... I just acknowledge it.

Someone seems to like the tickling feminine touch of a woman's mustache.

Its all good bro...do you

I wasn't outraged. Just really confused by the commercial.

 

[Dougfirtree]

I wasn't outraged. Just really confused by the commercial.

Also a sign of aging...

If this was a true capitalist society they would be selling that thing hair wax. Or a gun

Fairweather, you aren't seeing what this reflects in the changes that are being carefully and skillfully forced upon us. There is no "right" any more, and the only wrong is by looking askance at those that define their personality by their feelings, or by their sexuality. This is now being legislated, mostly by executive order and court rulings, and soon enough we will find religious points of view that don't agree being ruled illegal - because if personhood is defined by one's feelings, then hurting someone's feelings will become a crime.

This thread is classic “old man yells at cloud” stuff

This forum used to be a lot better than it’s been over the last year.

Yeah, and before you know it people might be respecting people who are different. Then where will we be?

We'll be stuck watching freaks like this on TV when I'm trying to watch to grown men beat each other unconscious. Guess I'm just old school. Gouch, did you remember to change your kids litter box?

Chaos and communism, chaos and communism I tell you!
