The people creating them don't want to piss anyone off (they might lose money!) so they creep along the cultural continuum, playing it safe until it looks like they can make some money on a "new" reality. As refreshing as it is to finally see these images, it makes me sad that we had to wait so long for what should have always been a norm, in any configuration.Jean at www.drossintogold.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01089424590056521268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-480147618192724058.post-71174437814920889702012-08-09T15:30:53.564-07:002012-08-09T15:30:53.564-07:00I laughed at this rant.

Sometimes you have to take a big bite, do a take, then spit it out, so you can do another take. I think I'd be nauseous by that time. Plus, I'm guessing the director is stupid. Usually when something like that stands out, it's the fault of the director and/or client/ad agency. There are so many layers to it!!Jean at www.drossintogold.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01089424590056521268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-480147618192724058.post-51393073652616584042012-08-09T09:15:33.303-07:002012-08-09T09:15:33.303-07:00Sheila--the JCP interracial caught my eye, too.

I LOVE that Banana Republic Ad! I too am part of an interracial couple and you're right, it IS nice to see something like that in the media! The JCP add is also great! I actually really like that particular chain store...do you? Anyway, hope all is well and i love the post!<br /><br />-Nico<br /><br />www.SatinAndSalt.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08806114687205212210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-480147618192724058.post-17704821329179375972012-08-09T01:15:46.585-07:002012-08-09T01:15:46.585-07:00There a few ads that have caught my eye, but a lit...There a few ads that have caught my eye, but a little mini rant here - why do the actors in all of the food ads do fake chewing?!! They open their mouth wide, then take a fake big bite, and then fake chew. If I were the owner or shareholder of said food company paying for the ad, I'd at least like my ad to show people actually ENJOYING the food I'm trying to get people to buy. Has anyone else noticed this annoying trend? It looks like the food in the ad is so toxic and fake that the actors wouldn't dare take a REAL bite.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06218727738029858422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-480147618192724058.post-82920383805102869562012-08-08T21:50:53.060-07:002012-08-08T21:50:53.060-07:00I particularly love that JCPenney ad and glad you ...I particularly love that JCPenney ad and glad you pointed it out because I hadn't noticed it before.<br />Love the couple posing with all those suitcases. They look independent but like they're going in the same direction at the same time.<br /><br />Thanks for noticing these and sharing them. I'll be taking a closer look at ads now because you've got me curious. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
