What is going on with this man’s abdomen lately? Almost looks like an ascites distention, but I hope not.

20 years from now, today’s marketing material will also be cringe.

From awkward uses of slang from the time to club references, Ford tried a bit too hard in attempting to appeal to young people with the Focus.

As a Class of 2000 graduate, let’s not forget the man-babies who basically killed Woodstock thanks to fire and untreated anger issues.

The Focus was an interesting design - the 3 door looked great, but the sedan and wagon were so dorky. 

All marketing material is cringy and always has been. These are neat historical documents, but I don’t see anything particularly egregious here. 

This...is not a bad thing. Either there’s a vendor not doing their job or shrink+bad internal inventory management isn’t indicating the need to bring out to the floor.

A good store manager would have the shelves filled when product comes in and the plan-o-grams properly set up. That way, “this clown” does not have to come in and stock the chocolate bars with his face on them. In any case, I’m pretty sure if the local Wal-Mart trespassed him for stocking his own goods, the corporate…

This was my exact reaction as well. This article and most of the commenters are off-base here.

makes me wonder if this is connected to the snoop cereal issue as well. seems like walmart might be playing games.

I’m all for hating on YouTubers but this is common in Wal-Mart and other grocery stores. Vendors (which he likely can sell himself as as he owns the product) are authorized to go back and help to find their merch and pull it to sell. I used to do that all the time for multiple merchandising companies.

Helping people stock shelves, i.e. finding it and putting it out for them, is not “forcing” anyone to do anything. It is the exact opposite, i.e. doing their work for them so they aren’t compelled to do so because of their job.

Have you ever worked in a grocery store? You are supposed to periodically stock throughout the day, and especially if there are hott sales, products, or essentials. I frequently had to stock sale items and whatnot.

At they coulda rotoscoped it like the games' art style

As with most mainstream voice over gigs, it’s a recognizable name who can hit all the late night shows and social to promote the film and hopefully hook people going into “I don’t know what Borderlands is, but I like Jack Black, so sure, I’ll see it”

I dunno Zack, kinda feels like you’ve lost track of what joy is in general. Like, this is the kind of overreaction Kotaku used to mock back in its heyday.

Yeah, I could see something in the vein of The Legend of Vox Machina actually working for Borderlands, but they went with whatever this is instead.

I also consider myself to be a Borderlands fan. These photos look about like what I was expecting. It’s not clear from the article why they disappointed you. The vibe of the solo shot is “Lilith has an attitude,” which we all knew. And the vibe of the group shot is, “There’s something in that hole.” They’re not the…

Turning this into a live action movie instead of an animated show (or movie) makes absolutely ZERO sense to me, but I’ve long grown tired of the IP anyway.
