Vanity: Is this Macy's ad trying to promote something in addition to selling pajamas?

Family Pajamas

Matching Bear Theme Mix and Match, Created for Macy's

[Secret Agent Man]

Well of course it is.

The only surprise is that the man is a white guy.

[ConservaTexan]

I bet they spend plenty of time in the crease.

Everyone now HAS TO promote gays. If you don’t, you are de facto homophobic. Which is why homosexuality is far over-represented in all media entertainment and ads. And if you ad features white people, again, racist.

I’m surprised they don’t burn and destroy all images of MLK Jr, who was openly praying for all people to be treated equally. How dare he not promote the Most Special over the Least Special?!

The Macy’s PJ ad has been controversial because it also features a black single mother while featuring a white mother father kids.

Macy’s tried to include all - mother father kids - white, gay male family, black family, interacial family, etc. They’re getting heat from libs because of a black single mother.

"I see homosexuals in LOTS of ads on tv now. This is nothing new."

Either overtly or implied.

[Yaelle]

Oh no you di’int!

(gives new meaning to 3 on 3)

[Twink]

No it’s not odd. It’s like many ads now. Gay, interacial, blah blah blah.

Big issue a month or so ago because part of the ad features a black mother and kids while the white portion features a father.

[central_va]

ads on tv with homosexuals really suck.

[Twink]

Yes.

[Twink]

Same with interacial couples, etc. Our demographics have changed drastically. These ads are common here.

"Macy’s tried to include all - mother father kids - white, gay male family, black family, interacial family, etc. They’re getting heat from libs because of a black single mother."

Corporations are falling all over themselves to make TV ads "diverse," but the harder they try, the more likely it is that someone will damn them for the one base they failed to cover. Blacks are way overrepresented in ads - the blatant pandering is embarrassing - and they are all represented as living in upscale neighborhoods and driving upscale cars. Asians and Hispanics may be getting pissed off about this.

[Twink]

MLK Jr was a racist, SJW. He wasn’t praying for people to be treated equally and he’d fit right in today.

[Intolerant in NJ]

All sorts of ads these days trying to promote all sorts of things - but rarely traditional values like straight two sex one culture families, religion, patriotism.....

[Twink]

Asians don’t care. They just basically succeed and vote dem.

Hispanics will care. Can’t wait to the fall out from that.

ITA with your post. Seeing it now online and in daily life.

It will be fun when they all go after each other. If we’re still here after they’re done going after us.

Exactly!

I have embedded successfully many times without any issues until failing tonight. Thanks.

It was many years ago now, 20 easily, but I recall a study showing blacks responded positively to ads showing them while other groups responded equally to ads whether their ethnic group was represented or not.

Enter identity politics. Truth is, I never see myself in ads.

One reason I ignore ads is how they are endlessly scripted to make men look like buffoons and women are always the clever one in the relationship. That’s done because women do most of the spending traditionally but I do wonder if we’ll ever see a backlash.

I didn’t know that Ben Shapiro had the same taste in men as Milo.

We cut the cable a few years ago and don’t have an antenna for local stuff. It’s “Film Noir”, etc, for us old fogies on youtube.

Just another reason to not shop at Macy’s any more.
