That old chestnut? Give it a rest.

Very obvious straw man there. I didn't say that unelected bureaucrats are defacto bad. You just don't place the blame on whatever party happens to be in power for their actions, at least not absent a clear connection from one to the other. Obama wasn't responsible for fatal police shootings during his tenure, nor is the present Conservative government in the UK responsible for the censorious pants-on-head actions of the ASA we're talking about here.

PC run amok. The hate speech video below was complained about by three people (assumed to be dry twat liberal feminists) because the men were doing adventurous things, the woman was with a baby.
I don't know man, these "dry twat liberal feminists" look like a pretty decent bunch to me if this is the worst thing you can say about them

OP clearly looking for things to be outraged about as usual.

Heard the usual radio bores going on and on about this. I don't have a TV, I don't care much either way, but on reflection, I don't have a problem with the advertising industry occasional getting a bit of pushback as they try to mould us all and use the power of money to tell us what to think.

As the OP is part of the same right that objects to Facebook and Twitter controlling what speech they carry, I'm sure he'll agree with me that the power of capital-owners to decide what speech to carry and to dominate public discourse needs to be challenged, right?

The VW ad in question:


You dropped your pearls



Remember, in the future squeeze tighter.

What is shocking here is you're too stupid to see what a tool you are. You're outraged by the VW ad and had never heard of the cheese ad because that's what your media told you.

Ask yourself why your media sources/cults of personality have and will never mention the cheese ad. Why they are only selectively outraged by the VW ad. And why, by design through their propaganda, you are too.

Useful idiot.


I would have gladly complained about the cheese ad too if I had the video handy. I think this is just a case of you not understanding what was going on (I have sense added a blurb after the link letting people know that the story is goes over two ads) so you're trying to make this about me. I wouldn't have known of this issue if not for the media. The site I saw it on originally, which complained of the VW ad, was Breitbart. I looked for a more neutral site to post here, the link I choose, that site had the cheese ad mentioned as well. I did not see a video for that, so I didn't mention it. Simple as that, everything else you said is just you making up shit that fits your bubble-protected worldview.

Post-truth Breitbart reader goes on about other people's bubble protected worldview, believes himself.

A lot of news is left leaning, even mainstream sites. The right has some sites too, Breitbart being one of them. What you just did instantly is why I looked to another site for the story to share in the OP. You don't care that what they reported was 100% factual, you just want to fixate on the site. You guys are easy because you have the same handful of tendencies indoctrinated, baked in by a very effective Democrat machine. I rang the bell, you got wet on command.

Melty McSnowflake went looking for more things that makes him melt. More on this at seven.

Frothy the Slowman, was as outraged as he could be!
With a subsidized corn cob, brown nose, and two eyes made of coal.
Turmpety Turmp Turmp, Turmpety Turmp Turmp, look at Frothy go!
