Greetings Mr. X
Did you not get the memo on this?
Officially heââ¬â¢s been a :afro: for a relatively short time; unofficially the business has been catering to negroes, wiggers, teenagers, on the run folk, and bargain hunters, many of which regrettably include the elderly, for some time.
It can be said, without exaggerating unduly, that the new advertising is more honest vis-à-vis cliental demographic (whether in mind or body). The fact that the tunes are so blatantly alien to the western mind is a blessing. If a single white person foregoes Mickey Ds because, irrespective of what he things of the food(?), heââ¬â¢s no longer ââ¬Ålovingââ¬Â the jingle thatââ¬â¢s now associated with it, then the direction the peddling has taken has been a success.
Anything that widens the schism between competing nations within a single state is a good thing. Adding patronage of eateries to a list of race dependant preferences that already includes neighborhoods, clothing, some entertainment, etc., is a minor but welcomed development. On a more sinister note, we can expect increased differences in life styles to lead to still greater differences in girth and all the health related issues that implies.
As always, Iââ¬â¢m assuming there is limit to the amount of blood sucking the middle class is willing to endure before it reaches for the stake. A big assumption, I know, in light of the countless experiments performed on helpless caged animals which became systematically desensitized to pain and after a while made no effort to evade further punishment. We have two advantages over the poor creatures: maneuvering room and large cranium which distinguishes us from animals, or so Iââ¬â¢m told.

[QUOTE=JohnHoward]For years now I've been noticing largely in magazine ads that the people portrayed are more and more racially ambiguous. They are often not dark African black, but just swarthy enough with a slight kink to their hair to greatly resemble a mixed race person. Very definite strategy at work here in the advertising world and no mistake![/QUOTE]
Good eye. Two recent shade-jobs I've noticed are:
1). [B]Downy[/B] - The once blond, blue-eyed baby has been replaced by a slightly older, swarthy-hued girl with brown eyes.
2). [B]Brawny[/B] - The blond, mustached mountain man has been accompanied by a slightly darker man with dark hair. I give it a few months before the blond is history.
In many commercials, and even in department store signing, children look very racially ambiguous. One I spotted looked "Blasian" (think Elderick Woods). Probably the most popular look is the one that resembles former American Idol contestant Justin Guarini (sp?): Cafe au lait skin with frosted dreadlocks.
