The source is British. The writer is Julie Burchill, via Substack. Few people are sufficiently liberated and sufficiently cranky to offer up the following remarks about today's television advertisements.
I pass them along without comment:
Writing about Christmas television adverts recently, I reflected that ad agencies who have only ever employed non-white citizens as messengers and doormen in the past are now, in pursuit of the Woke Wonga, having us believe that Britain is now solely composed of mixed race couples living in duplex apartments overlooking fashionable rivers. As one wit said on Twitter: ‘At this time of year, all these Christmas ads make me feel sad for all the black ladies, lone parents to their children, whose dads all appear to have all married white women and started second families in large Farrow & Ball painted homes with them.’
Ahhhh, those who "try too hard" and just can't "make it". Fortunately, I see almost no TV ads. My mental is healthy.
