Apple Christmas Advert Vs. Right Wingers

[sp1814]

Should people really get so upset at the sight of mixed race couples?

Seems like Daily Mail readers are infuriated at this innocuous advert.

Why is that?

Where are these complaints? Or would you like some to enliven your dull morning?

Nah...it’s anything to do with transgender issues.

That’s the big ticket item this year.

I was a leading commentator on the DM letters page until I was banned for being too right wing.
Don't remember being asked what colour I was.

In the comments section.

The responders aren’t mentioning political correctness as a ‘by the way’.

Turn it around - if someone posted a comment about the Waitrose advert saying, “Another advert with all white faces”, you know that the comment was not objective, and that it was a moan.

Certain people get off complaining about political correctness.

This is one of those occasions.

You were too right wing for the Daily Mail?

Christ almighty...

Why does one have to sort through ‘Best rated’ order, so as to find something to be offended by, this Daily Mail article is all about the lack of continuity.

Incidentally both actors seem to be of mixed race.

As far as I can see there are 4 references to the black on white subject out of scores. One of them is a reply to a post. Did like the jibe about using mixed race puppies in the Andrex ads though. :))

What's all this one of those nasty Left-Wingers dares to enter the peaceful regions of our beloved Daily Mail.

/// Does it matter what they look like, who cares? Only r @ c i s t s would even notice. You do know we all came from AFRlCA? In 200 years there will only be brown people as everyone will have mixed eventually. Open your eyes and stop being so judgemental unless you want your chin smashing ///

They are so nasty aren't they?

That’s the point - the comments that are the highest rated are the ones complaining about an international company using a couple who don’t feature a white man.

Why?

Talking about mixed race puppies or rather mixed breed puppies, most owners of a pedigree dog would go bananas if their prized dog got cross bred.

The reader's views are exactly that, reader's views, and just like AnswerBank one diverts from the main topic and others follow.

Had the Daily Mail article been about mixed race couples in Adverts I could have then understood you creating a thread on the subject, but you didn't you chose to delve into the depths of the readers views so as to have your usual dig at Right-Wingers and their press.

Most of us don't even read the reader's views, I hadn't when I first read your thread, thus wondering what the hell you were going on about.

You can't compare pedigree bred dogs with humans!!
To do so shows the level that you are at!

[Togo]

Sigh......Hi Ronnie :))

//Incidentally both actors seem to be of mixed race.//

They seem to have been chosen to have a deliberately generic look. They could potentially be black, white, hispanic, asian, anything.

It makes perfect sense for an international ad campaign.

[wiltsman]

Yawn.

///Sway, which will compete with the likes of M&S and John Lewis, is based around two New York dancers called Christopher Grant and Lauren Yatango-Grant, who are married in real life///

I'm surprised no-one has got on their high-horse about that tbh.

Where the hell have I mentioned humans?

Talking about mixed race puppies or rather mixed breed puppies,

[Islay]

This is a thread talking about human being and you throw in mixed breed pups!!
To me you are trying to compare the two!

[sp1814]

That’s what this thread is about. The attitude of those responders.

/// To me you are trying to compare the two! ///

Take note of those two important words "to me" I myself cannot be held responsible for what goes off in that mind of yours.

I was merely addressing this post.
