There is a bloody mind-worm loose in certain susceptible sectors of so-called Western society that believes it can't have these irrational explosions of hatred and moral torpor, that's made them MORE likely
What's right with them? I love the bit in the Herald where they say they haven't had one complaint about the advert. Given the number of people here, on FB & X who have all fired off complaints, tomorrow's in-box will be a surprise for them.
Charming.
Singling out the "worst people in the world" by their sex and skin colour.
You'd be screaming "Nazis!" if it was said by anyone else, about anyone else.
Most of the time, they were pretty lame. The odd one was good, but most of the time, they were excellently targeted to the demographic that drinks that swill.
You'll be surprised that David who grew up in Ōpōtiki & is from Ōpōtiki is atypical of the violent responses on the post from (what was is the DB Marketing Manager called it) "reinvigorate a legendary brand" Tui.
If there ever was an excuse for a brand pile-on & cancel, it's Tui & over this.
Interesting that the first time they ran these they were so on point, whereas the latest batch are tone-deaf and brand-damaging. Having worked on many campaigns in a previous role it's hard to see why they would continue.
I suspect the people making these ads digest solely the right wing media sphere and inhabit social circles to the degree they are barely aware there is a broader view point.
I wonder, increasingly, whether to just block BS misogynist shit like this & racism & nasti salutes & transphobia & anti-immigration etc. Or whether it’s better to be witnessing it 🤷🏻♀️. Leo Malloy - such an angry repulsive little Karen. He makes my skin crawl. It’s an ostrich/sand dilemma.
very much so, I've been reading all about it this evening. Fired off complaint to DB & am in the process of making a formal advertising standards complaint.
I've spent a total of about 10mins on FB the past year (9 of those the last week), the same names popping up in Leo Molloy's posts are there. It's creepy that she's living rent free in their sad little brains.
I'd argue it's very violent, dangerous, disgusting, draining, degrading, & unconscionable. Creepy doesn't quite cut it, given what I've studied over the years, incl. horrific abuse against former colleagues of the The Disinformation Project by mfckers like Molloy. Just posted aspects of my study.

The problem for Tui/DB is that craft brewing has flourished to such an extent that there are plenty of alternatives to buying their swill.
Unforgivable
I am sick to death of my demographic being the worst people in the world.

You can see why so many people on FB lock their accounts, because it would be really easy to dox to employers the comments of their employees.
I see the same people popping up on Leo Molloy's posts too.
SCUM
I wonder if he is on the edge of his seat tonight
