That’s actually legit though. You do the heimlich until the patient collapses/becomes unresponsive, then you do modified cpr (only thrusts, no breaths, as the breath couldn’t get through anyway) until the foreign object becomes dislodged.

Few things are 100% guaranteed. CPR doesn’t always work either. Sucks, but true. I bet the doughnut was all soggy and expanded, making it pretty impossible to dislodge.
I am more confused by the fact that someone is choking and not a single person knows the Heimlich maneuver??? IN the pancake case the nursing student did CPR Um, the girl had FOOD IN HER THROAT.
Holy hell, PlayStation! I cannot fathom how something like this gets made. I work in a marketing-adjacent capacity for a mega brand, and every single conversation and piece of brand guidance is steeped in cultural consideration. The idea that this concept made it through even one creative review is mind boggling.
As with the PepsiCo ad, this was produced internally at Beiersdorf. When this happens, the people who would ordinarily say “wtf?” are then in the position of having to tell their boss that they are a damn fool. Nobody wants to do that, and in these situations, it’s the top person whose head will roll. Often, this is…
This reminds me of that infamously racist Pears’ Soap ad from the late 1700s. I won’t post it here, but google “Pears’ Soap ad” and it’s the first image result :/
Its even more base than racism, white=good black=bad is the basis of almost all racism regardless of culture, era, location or religious beliefs. Even in 3000 year old hieroglyphics its always the paler Syrian Semites wearing all the fancy clothes.
That’s not what tone deaf means. I’ve explained multiple times what is offensive about this ad. If you don’t want to accept reality, just say that. There may be a job in the administration waiting for you.
Again, why do you think people getting mad about this, or anything else for that matter, means they can’t also do other things?
OMG you’re so right.
Okay. Telling people they shouldn’t express offense at something is just as much language policing as expressing offense at something. Is our ideal world one in which undercurrents of discrimination continue to persist? If not, pointing out expressions of racism - even where inadvertent and meant completely…
Yes, because obviously people can only do one thing at a time. It’s totally impossible for anyone to be mad at this ad while also voting in the midterms, which are 2 years away.
We can care about more than one thing at a time.
Uh huh. So, somehow, this article, which probably took 15 minutes to write, my comment, which took 2 minutes to write, and the fact that there was some pushback over an ad that lasted like a day, is going to somehow depress Democratic turnout in elections that are more than a year and a half away? Exactly how are the…
Nobody thinks that the ad is meant to reflect Nivea’s dreams of a white supremacist utopia. But the idea of white representing purity, contrasted to black representing corruption and evil, absolutely has racist roots. “White is purity” echoes that sentiment. Even though I’m sure Nivea’s ad was not intended as a racial…
The last pic is actually from a few years ago, but look at that shit. Look at it!
The “white is purity” ad was for deodorant. I thought we wanted to avoid white when it came to keeping our pits funk-free! That ad failed on two levels.
