How is intentionally pissing people off advertising?

I mean, maybe social bubble, but in this day and age, with so many high-profile disasters of this type, why would you throw your own hat in the ring?

They listen to people with mental illness.

It's almost as if people don't like being lectured and told their culture is shit by an airline.

Maybe someones shorting their stock price?

 

[triplestation]

scandanavia is literally nothing

 

[Mato]

Way to sell out for the sake of globalization. Open up Sweden, everyone's coming in and you better pretend to like it.

Nationality isn't a race.

It's not Scandinavian either.

Good. Put that in the commercial and turn on the comments.

When will whypeepo understand they have 0 culture and all their culture came from PoC's???

 

[-Arcadia-]

Sometimes, it's a bit conspiracy theory, but I can't help but wonder if this is propaganda with an advertising write-off cost.

Just look at that video. How does it advertise anything related to the product?

Well, true, but jokes aside, those commercials would try to sell you a lifestyle. Look at this happy family, with this product! It can be you! It was semi-related.

Here, it's just completely disassociated from the product to a suspicious extent.

Stopped at "Our Democracy, credit goes to Greece." Fuck off with that nonsense...

All of human civilization is built upon what came before. No shit. No country has anything it can call unique if you're going to dismiss anything that had its seed come from another culture.

 

[triplestation]

why people racist as fuck

 

[Tragic Denial]

beatings will continue until morale is depleted

 

[Verdanth]

They missed IKEA on the video? Everybody knows IKEA isn't Scandinavian, it's Chinese.

 

[belmarduk]

surströmming and hakarl are truly Scandinavian. So, you got that.

 

[Hulk_Smash]

Can you imagine a non-white country producing a commercial like this?

Syrian Airlines: Thank you Russia, for your AK-47s!
Nigerian Airlines: Thank you America for your San Franciso 49ers 2020 Super Bowl Champs T-shirts!

We are more alike than we are different?

 

[oagboghi2]

We are more alike than we are different?

And you think a smart way to express that is to say "your country has no culture. You stole everything."

 

[Chairman Tickles]

This is what national implosion from within looks like. Decadence is a hell of a drug.

We are more alike than we are different?

Cultures also differ markedly. Those 'minor' difference over long periods of time lead to entire new species, let alone wholly divergent cultural norms.

Which is it, are we trying to destroy all cultures, or are we trying to preserve diversity? Pick one.

 

[DeafTourette]

Umm ... Scandinavia has plenty of homegrown culture. What the deuce?! Lemme watch this a bit later when I'm not surrounded by people.

But seriously... *PicardFacePalm.gif*

 

[Kamina]

That video is bullshit and pointless.
Yes, sweden might have taken the inspiration for the midsummer pole from somewhere else in ancient times, but the midsummer celebration itself is as old as the germanic people who inhabit middle-europe and Scandinavia.
Midsummer is most definitely typical swedisch and doesnt exist like this anywhere else.

What was the idea behind this anyway? Trying to make people understand why the mass immigration they face is a good thing?
Maybe they should show this to the Policemen and Paramedict who are repeatedly attacked with stones when entering the ghetto areas for emergencies to keep then unbiased when the stones hit them.

When will whypeepo understand they have 0 culture and all their culture came from PoC's???

Since the homo sapiens immigrated from africa, this isnt so far off. In fact, we all decent from a People of Color that first developed in africa. (plus some marginal and variating ammounts of Neanderthaler depending on the region)

not entirely pointless

at least i learned that vikings were black too

It's true. Just look at Heimdall. Dude looks a lot like Idris Elba.

 

[redfirm]

I just woke up and the first thing I am seeing is this, FAK it, I am going back to sleep

 

[It's Jeff]

Every thought you've had and everything that makes you unique is shamelessly stolen. Come try the Arby's 5$ Meal Deal.

There. I'm an advertiser now.

Thank you commercial

Now i don't need to go there at all!

 

[Stiflers Mom]

Scandinavians finally acknowledging they stole all their shit from us Germans..

Great day..

HAHAHAHA

SAS said they believe they were the target of a co-ordinated online attack.

 

[off duty ninja]

So you're the root off all the cultural appropriation in the world?!

#CANCELSCANDANAVIA

 

[Hulk_Smash]

"What is truly Scandinavian? Absolutely nothing. Everything is copied," the SAS advert begins .

This is a truly horrible way to start a commercial. There are ways to celebrate the melting pot of cultures in your country. This isn't one of them.

I swear it really is true that the liberal neo-hippies on college campuses in the early and mid '00s really did take over business schools (well, the parts of business school that can allow for all their garbage views- like Public Relations, Business Ethics, and Marketing- certainly not Entrepreneurship).

Now the chickens are coming home to roost. "Coordinated online attack" LOL! With tens of thousands of total strangers!

 

[Slings and Arrows]

Maybe someones shorting their stock price?

This is it, isn't it? Big companies are shorting their stock via wokeness and cashing in big-time, only to rebuy stock that is dirty cheap after the company bombs?

Freaking genius idea.

 

[Skyr]

What happened to them vikings yo? They used to be cool.

 

[Birdo]

We wuz Vikings n shiet I guess we don't teach history in schools any more.

Oh a side note, my family bloodline is scandavavian. We all have blonde hair and blue eyes (Yes, I got called a Nazi in school a lot).

"Whoopsies?" More like "mission accomplished."

Outrage marketing accomplishes its goal, every time.
