Companies which sell powerful flashlights should take note. Don’t talk about what makes your product superior. It might offend someone.

Wait a minute, isn’t Chance the Rapper on TV selling chocolate? What am I supposed to read into that?

Heineken has developed diverse marketing that shows there’s more that unites us than divides usThis type of bullshit is what is dividing us even further.

They could always go with “Queerer is better” since they have homo Neil Patrick Harris doing their advertisements.

I get a kick out of those Mexican panther piss commercials that use the music from Eastwood’s spaghetti westerns. IIRC, the Mexicans didn’t do well in those movies. Clint killed them all. LOL.

They probably thought they were being nice by hiring the black actors for the ad. Now if their beer was slid by some bottles of malt liquor beer that may be a different story...

Hmm, I wonder if they slid a bottle of Guinness down the bar to Samuel Jackson, while saying “Darker is better”, would they get the same reaction? I suspect it would be regarded as amusing rather than racist.

The blame is not with the ad content, but with whoever cast the actors for it. Could’a used a mix of folks dressed in dark colors and dressed the beer’s recipient in a lighter color.

As several people online noticed... The whole thing is a fake story ginned up by Heineken. They know the idiot media will run with this "story". Heineken gets to advertise its beer for free.

When is a product just a product? How about “white” bread? “White” rice? “White” beans? “White” wine? Give it a rest, libs.
