For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

Re: Car advertising at its best
An ad campaign built around violently killing animals. How amusing.
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

That's why they didn't use the campaign. Didn't test well. Still funny though.

Re: Car advertising at its best
Yeah, the cat ad is pretty sick. Pigeon not so much. I'm glad they saw the light and didn't use them.
I remember RayThom commenting on the cat ad years ago. He liked it. He didn't like cats. His only fault IIRC.
Mrs Mc and I have been watching what we refer to as Brit cop shows on Prime. We recently finished all five seasons of Scott and Bailey and have started DCI Banks. Both are good.
Sometimes I speak with a pretty good (?) British accent while we watch. (There are those who say there is no such thing.) So I'm weird. Last week a Ford Ka was shown. I told her it was a Ka. Of course I was speaking British. Then I had to explain that Ka was the name of that model.
I don't know what research or advertising group came up with that name, but I think it was sheer genius.

Re: Car advertising at its best
God, you're either a total humour free zone, or someone who actually believes that real animals, not CGI, were used, which are you?

Re: Car advertising at its best
is "both" an option?
-"BB"-
Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?
Re: Car advertising at its best
Virtually a given, I'd say.

Re: Car advertising at its best
I’m well aware they didn’t use real animals as there are laws preventing harming animals for entertainment. The fact that the advertising campaign didn’t get used because it tested so poorly rather makes the point about how the majority of the audience feels about whether it’s amusing to watch cruelty and violence perpetrated on animals.
Many serial killers (and abusive spouses) start out amusing themselves by torturing and killing animals. I’m well aware that some humans harbor that capacity for amusement.

This is definitely the most interesting attack on my character yet by the usual suspects here.
OH MY GOD YOU DON’T TAKE PLEASURE FROM THE REALISTIC SIMULATION OF TORTURE AND KILLING OF TOTALLY INNOCENT ANIMALS - WHAT A MONSTER YOU ARE!

Re: Car advertising at its best
I object to the image of a dozen hooded KKK figures on a brown cake posted in the Laffs section of this board. I think it's disgusting to make a mockery of KKK violence over the years and the misery they have inflicted on our fellow citizens. Anyone who sees humo(u)r in that is sick indeed. Gob I am surprised that you allow that sort of thing.
I'd post this over there but I've forgotten the name of the thread. Gob you should probably find who posted that and let them know that I totally agree with BSG here and there is just too much of this sort of thing going on . . .

Re: Car advertising at its best
Oh how clever . . . Not. I posted the cake picture to highlight it as wildly inappropriate (and the posting in Laffs was intentionally ironic, which also appears to have been grasped by at least a few here), and a few other posters found it to be exactly that. I guess we are all humorless bitches.

Maybe just acknowledge that you’re stuck at a maturity level that you fixate on violence as humorous and don’t pursue the rather difficult to prove (because it’s wildly untrue) notion that such ‘humor’ is normative among the larger population. Quite clearly it isn’t.the ad stays focused on its target audience - young males with a taste for sick jokes - the kind of chaps who read Loaded and Nuts

Re: Car advertising at its best
The best attack on your "character," is your every utterance here dear. This nonsense about "taking pleasure in the simulated torture and killing" for example, is just a juvenile and pathetic attempt at self justification.

Re: Car advertising at its best
Right; coming from a sex obsessed perpetual attacker of brown people, I’ll take that as a compliment.

Coming from someone who posts pictures of food in the "eye candy" thread, I'll take that as a compliment.
Care to show where I've "attacked" brown people dear?

Re: Car advertising at its best
Anything can be eye candy; it’s sex obsessed to assume only human bodies qualify.
There are years of attacks on what you always characterize as ‘mad PC’ as well as years of posts about nearly exclusively brown criminals etc. upon which I’ve made judgment of your character.
Leave it as we just don’t like one another, or persist. That’s on your character, as all things are.
