If you think "Like a Rock" isn't about gay sex, you might wanna listen to the lyrics again.

So what color, religion, nationality, sexual orientation, etc. should actors in commercials be for your viewing pleasure?

i don't think it's as much about "libtards forcing their agenda down our throats" as it is about companies making commercials that get them the most coverage, youtube views, etc, and result in people talking about the company and the product and appealing to a more diverse customer base. i mean...companies are trying to make money and get publicity and all that (duh). if they thought a very socially conservative message was gonna get them more attention and possibly attract a wider customer base then they'd adopt some of those themes for their commercials.

isn't marketing, ultimately, all about where the money/publicity/etc is and everything else being a means to that end? even when it is a political statement that's being made, it's ultimately a means to an end.

LOL! It isn't. I seriously think Ford Motor Company and GM are having a competition to see who can come up with the stupidest advertisement on TV. Those Lincoln ads with Matthew McConaughey are stupid and so are the Chevy ones with the vehicles rising up out of the floor.

Hey, do you know what the purpose of commercials are? To get your attention, and ultimately to make people buy their product. Everything they do, they do for a calculated reason.

Quote :
""Like A Rock"

Stood there boldly
Sweatin' in the sun
Felt like a million
Felt like number one
The height of summer
I'd never felt that strong
Like a rock

I was eighteen
Didn't have a care
Working for peanuts
Not a dime to spare
But I was lean and
Solid everywhere
Like a rock

My hands were steady
My eyes were clear and bright
My walk had purpose
My steps were quick and light
And I held firmly
To what I felt was right
Like a rock

Like a rock, I was strong as I could be
Like a rock, nothin' ever got to me
Like a rock, I was something to see
Like a rock

And I stood arrow straight
Unencumbered by the weight
Of all these hustlers and their schemes
I stood proud, I stood tall
High above it all
I still believed in my dreams

Twenty years now
Where'd they go?
Twenty years
I don't know
Sit and I wonder sometimes
Where they've gone

And sometimes late at night
When I'm bathed in the firelight
The moon comes callin' a ghostly white
And I recall
I recall

Like a rock. standin' arrow straight
Like a rock, chargin' from the gate
Like a rock, carryin' the weight
Like a rock

Like a rock, the sun upon my skin
Like a rock, hard against the wind
Like a rock, I see myself again
Like a rock"

Did you not read my post? I. Don't. Care.

If you're trying to sell Big Macs and you are caught up on if there is enough LGBT diversity for your commercial... you're doing it wrong. Should all directors edit the scripts to be more inclusive? Should Ronald McDonald start butt-fucking the Hamburglar in every commercial so FroshKiller doesn't feel excluded?

It's not "progressive" at all to reduce everyone's identity solely to their membership in a collective.

I think it's less political and more marketing ploys. Commercials aim to attract new patrons. Social science has proven that people tend to be more bias towards those who sound, look, and act like themselves. It's a marketing ploy for a company to use x-type/color/etc person because others like them will identify with said actor, making them more likely to become a customer.

Right because to someone paying for a commercial, the only color they really care about is green. It's more profitable to be inclusive to relevant demographics, so the races/genders are typically chosen to reflect that... racism isn't profitable and the free market does its job.

There is a difference between that and the "look how diverse we are" political commercials... which not only serve no purpose besides trying to get PR points, they are also boring af. It's the culture the left has created though. AirBnB has to beg for mercy because a racist troll used their tool and it went viral, now we all have to suffer through boring af commercials.

BTW if you don't think these "diversity" virtue-signaling commercials aren't political you are being naïve.

People don't like these commercials, not because they are racist, but because they are sick of the nonstop politically correct bullshit identity politics being forced down their throat in non-political mediums.

If you are a black-homo-tranny-muslim-jew that likes Coke, good for you? I don't care what your liberal labels are, because identity politics are bullshit and we should judge people by the content of their character, not on their membership in a victimhood collective.

Those above lyrics sound like a story about a teenager working a physical job at minimum wage. It is perfect for a full size truck commercial. I'm pretty sure the intentions were not to tell a story about gay people.

No, "Like a Rock" is about a hard working teenager.

The Bob Seger masturbation songs are "Main Street" and "Her Strut."

And the songs about sex are "Night Moves" and "Horizontal Bop."

"Seger told the New York Times that the song "was inspired partly by the end of a relationship I had that had lasted for 11 years. You wonder where all that time went. But beyond that, it expresses my feeling that the best years of your life are in your late teens when you have no special commitments and no career. It's your last blast of fun before heading into the cruel world."[2]"

I guess this is just one of those songs that have a deeper meaning. Like how "Born in the USA" isn't really a patriotic song. Makes you think.

Lol, I thought it was common knowledge that Seger wrote this as a kind of "homosexual anthem" of sorts. I remember they talked about it on Popup Video on VH1 one time back in the day. I also know for a fact that "Like A Rock" is regularly played at most gay bars in Raleigh (the dive bar-ish ones).

^x6 I believe homosexuals don't feel the need to qualify their relationships as "homosexual relationships" they just call them relationships. Just like they would probably just say "This is my lover" instead of saying "This is my gay lover." Hope this helps clear this up.

I'm cool with the Apple 1984 advertisement and the Chrysler "Imported From Detroit" advertisement with Eminem, but I still expect some quality comedy mixed in there and that has been lacking of late when compared to previous years.
