    Believe it or not, there is a large number of people who only watch the Superbowl just to see the commercials because the production value of those commercials tend to be of higher quality than normal commercials.

    Einstein never knew a word of English btw, yet his classes were always packed with people, many of them that could be called patriots if judged by their actions afterwards.
    And back in the really old days, people came in, stole the gold and settled their own darned colonies where they pleased, shooting any natives that got in their way ... as long as they didn't die from dissentery, pneumonia or a strong case of the flu. But maybe, just MAYBE, the old days aren't always the better days.

    Singing it in a different language than English in a commercial is hardly "shitting" on it. It's not like they made a joke version of anything like that. It also doesn't necessarily have something to do with "bending over backwards".

    But then again, like I said. You are free to boycott whatever company you want.
    It's Orlong, he has the thinnest skin than anyone else on this forum. He's literally crying over being exposed to a language other than English.

    Doesn't make it any less baffling, they're advertisements.

    They were pretty terrible this year though. The Spuds one was okay...

    I am sure you will stick to your boycott for a few hours and then forget about it.

    What's that gotta do with Shadow's point?

    This add, I have to say, is pretty stupid. They're trying to make you feel bad for people trying to get to America illegally. No, fuck that. If you want to come to America, fine. Just do it the legal way. I give no fucks about what happens to those who try to come here illegally. And they got the wall all wrong. It's going to be a 10 ft metal fence. Also, someone should make en edit to the video where after they see the wall it fast forwards and you see their skeletons in the desert.



    In case you didn't pay attention to the commercial, he came to America legally. You'll notice the document that was stamped at the beginning just before the ass hole (your ancestor I can only assume) says he's not welcome here. And by the way, there are a LOT of Americans with German ancestry.



    This commercial is pretty stupid as well. No, you shouldn't tell her that Grandpa is worth more than Grandma. You should tell her that Grandma chose a career which pays less than the career that Grandpa chose and that women typically pursue careers which, on average, pay less than the careers that men typically choose to pursue. And tell her that is the real reason women, on average, make less. Not because of some "sexist" fucking horse shit.



    Illegal immigration? How you did you pull that out of that ad? I mean I think they're trying a little too hard here, but who cares?



    I mean... Trump does have some awful hair. No matter your political views I think we can all agree on that.

    I can get behind this guy's responses.

    OK, but people still assimilate by learning English. That hasn't changed.

I thought the point of an ad was to advertise your product to increase sales. Not to be a vessel for political messages.

    You know who else reacts and acts like this? In fact, people like you do it far more and that's funny to me.

    I am actually amazed how currently anything mentioning equality or immigration is immediatelly branded as evil liberal propaganda.
    I wonder how far US is from totally abandoning, say, feminism if even this Audi commercial is treated as propaganda.

    It's like the US got burned so badly on the SJWs going way too far that any attempt to even touch those topics meets with strong preemptive action.

    Going from extreme to extreme, no place for middle ground and discussion.
    I have enough of EA ruining great franchises and studios, forcing DRM and Origin on their games, releasing incomplete games only to sell day-1 DLCs or spill dozens of DLCs, and then saying it, and microtransactions, is what players want, stopping players from giving EA games poor reviews, as well as deflecting complaints with cheap PR tricks.

    I'm not going to buy any game by EA as long as they continue those practices.

    It probably would've made it if the Dutch didn't sell their colonies such as New Amsterdam to the British.
    Would've probably meant a lot in the public opinion during the wars in Europe though, as even the British royalty being of Austrian decent was a big no-no.

    Hard to know with Orlong. He's consistently like this, always posting this stuff for YEARS. So if anything, he's dedicated.

    Wait, is he one of those people who thinks the Bible is originally in "New English"?

    This is just Orlong's schtick. Don't think it's ever been confirmed if he's really this stupid, or just a really dedicated troll.

    Sounds like you need a safespace from ads.

    @Orlong: It's far more likely these are just smart advertising companies taking advantage of this political climate, and get free news while people discuss the "ethics" of these ads.

    But honestly man no need to get bet out of shape, whining like this makes you sound like all the SJWs crying over anything.
