It’s entirely understandable because in times of crisis, such as bombing a major airfield in a hostile country, is a crisis. This action has upped the ante on yet another war in the middle east. He should be at the White House. We expect the POTUS to be at the helm in the White House when there’s trouble. It’s…

The club members probably knew about it before anyone else because he couldn’t stop from showing them what a Big Man he is by announcing his intentions to everyone who would listen.

Eleven. Weeks. Only.

I give it 1 to 2 months tops before he abandons all pretense and makes Mar a Lago the new “official” residence of the president.

Notwithstanding the time President Obama saved the entire US economy in his first 11 weeks.

I think she would have done something like this, however she would have welcomed refugees and got her messaging right. She would have condemned it from the get go, and will get the Russians in line.

And, he’s down at Mar-a-Lago because of course he is.

It shouldn’t have to be said, but I will say it anyway: If you voted for Trump because you “just didn’t like Hillary,” I will never fucking forgive you.

We’re looking through it through the rose-tinted glasses of nostalgia now, but it’s worth pointing out that Coke ad had LOTS of detractors at the time, for many of the same reasons: the corporatization of a counter culture movement where self-sufficiency and being in touch with nature were key themes. Putting bottles…

I totally did notice that sign and lolwtf. Literally, I imagine someone coming up and asking “What conversation?” and the reply being, “The conversation about how great Pepsi is! Would you like a free sample?”

And did you notice the “join the conversation” protest sign? Who the fuck talks like that outside of social media marketing? It’s beyond tone-deaf.

The most offensive thing to me about this ad is it portrays protests and activism more as just some people having fun rather than people struggling and fighting back. It takes the teeth out of activism, it says “Protesting for social equality is okay and fun! And we’re on your side so long as you don’t take…

Part of my day job for the past several years has been “advertising commentator” and this fucking thing, oh man. The ways in which it doesn’t work are myriad.

It failed because this kind of ad proposes unity and camaraderie between two groups. This made sense with anti-war sentiment with Hilltop. It doesn’t make sense now. Protestors don’t want camaraderie with police, to make up and leave each other be. They want justice.

Look, I’m fine with Cheerios showing us two married men to sell us overpriced breakfast cereal, it’d be different if a commercial shows us that somehow sharing a bowl of cereal stops the Stonewall riots in it’s tracks.

I feel like there’s a line between “Hello undertargeted demographic, we want you to also consume our…

I think a better comparison than “Hilltop” from Coke, which was made in a very different, less skeptical time, is Coke’s more recent “America the Beautiful”, with the song being sung in several languages. Why was that ad effective and Pepsi’s not? Part of it has to be that massive corporations are more believable as…

It’s uncanny. Really.

I want to meet the person who rents a massive trendy loft apartment just to leave it empty aside from a tree in a concrete block and a few Renovation Hardware pieces. And a reel to reel tape recorder?

Bobby, though I would miss you terribly if you ever left Jezebel, I think you have found your true calling, writing the scripts for the “reality” show known as KUWTK.
