What Everyone Needs to Know About How Advertisers Manipulate the Masses into Buying Their Poison!

Hypocrisy and manipulation among corporate media and corporations alike just keeps getting deeper and deeper.  You remember back in early April when Pepsi released their controversial and, for lack of a better word, brain-dead “heal police/protester tensions with a can of Pepsi” campaign. You remember the one.  There’s an unrealistically happy, diverse, but united, talented, good looking crowd of protesters, ambling through the streets with signs that say “peace” “love” and “join the conversation”

Well, while more and more people joined the crowd and fill the streets, it get’s how-the-hell-did-she-ever-become-popular, Kendall Jenner’s attention as she’s busy doing what looks like a photo shoot to promote some type of aluminum foil product.  Without asking anybody exactly what conversation she’s joining or what it’s all about, she magically gets rid of her space-age modeling clothes and goes denim.  It’s also a good possibility that this ad could double as a magical make up removal commercial since she had no problem getting rid of the goop and heavy lipstick.  But I digress.

Share this video!  This article is the script I created for my video.

Well, what nobody in the media seems to wanna talk about is the slice of hypocrisy Pepsi actually served up to its audience, when they made that propaganda piece.  But in order to fully appreciate the level of hypocrisy, lets rewind from the launch of that commercial in Early April back to March 24th.

That’s the date PepsiCo along with other Corporate giants, began pulling their ads from Google to set off what’s become know as the Apocalypse.  Many outlets covered the story, this comes from CNET.

“Wal-Mart, PepsiCo, Starbucks, General Motors, FX Networks and Dish Network have joined the advertising blackout against Google after learning their ads are appearing on YouTube next to videos espousing racist and anti-Semitic views.”

PepsiCo, which removed ads from all of Google’s non-search services, including YouTube, said in a statement “We are deeply concerned and terribly disappointed that some of our brand ads have appeared alongside videos that promote hate and are OFFENSIVE.”…”PepsiCo has a long history of embracing diversity and inclusion, and content like this violates our core values.”

Now, keep in mind that as the representatives at Pepsico were making this exact statement, they already had the “join the conversation” Kendall Jenner commercial in the hopper.  Less than two weeks later, that is two weeks after pulling ads specifically for appearing next to racial and offensive content, they created and launched, the same kind of thing social justice warriors considered racial and offensive.

Here’s something a lot of people apparently missed.  Check out what happens right after Jenner pulls her wig off before mindlessly joining the crowd.  What the…  Come on SJWs, where are ya on this one?  You’re always looking for opportunities to pull the race card.  This privileged upper class white girl pompously hands her wig to….a black girl. OMG can you get more racial than that?  Why aren’t Leftist boycotting Jenner and Pepsi?  You know if Ivanka Trump pulled something like that, there would be a front page outcry on every fake news tabloid across the country from the New York slimes to the Washington compost pile.

And yeah the entire thing from the vague “join the conversation” signs, to people not knowing what the hell they’re protesting for, to the theme song with lyrics like “we are the movement, this generation you better know who we are,” to the lie about happy protesters and calming tensions with a can of Pepsi… which after the cop opens it creates this magical euphoria in the crowd as if that’s what they all came to see in the first place. Not to mention that all the now pepsi-tamed cops are white guys! and then topping it all off with a generous helping of the self absorbed slogan Live for Now. But then again, could there be a more truthful slogan taylor made for the appropriate product? Living for Now is about all you got if you’re gonna make a habit out of drinking 12 fluid ounces of liquid death. Forget about tomorrow, let’s eat, drink and be merry NOW for tomorrow we’ll have diabetes.

Now we set our sights on McDonald’s new award winning, heart-tugging, emotionally manipulating BS-filled commercial.

This kid finds and goes through a box of his dead dad’s personal items then he goes downstairs and asks his mom:

His mom says things like. (see video clip)  And for the majority of the commercial there’s this mother and son bonding slash reminiscing time where the mom describes how athletic his dad was, how shiny his shoes were, how smartly dressed he was, what color his eyes were and how impressive he was with all the girls.  

She described his dad as being everything the boy currently isn’t.  After our non-athletic, roughly dressed, dirty shoed kid casts a smile at an approaching romantic prospect which is met with a cold stare of indifference, it’s time to forget all our worries and have a wholesome meal….at McDonalds.  With filet-o-fish in hand and tartar sauce on his chin, McDonald’s helps to magically connect the son with his dead father.  

In that moment we find that the memory box of his father’s personal possessions was useless; true solace is found in boxes of fatty fish segments hastily cooked and deep fried from frozen blocks by a minimum wage labourer.

Emotional manipulation is a key pillar in most advertising campaigns.  But McDonald’s pushed it to the limit by keying in on a negative emotion and then implying that their products will fill that emotional void and make everything better.  

And finally I leave you with what McDonald’s of course won’t show you…what happened to the child’s father in the first place.  Let’s call this the deleted scene that should have run in the first part of the video.  Apparently the dad was lovin’ it way too much and chose to Live…uh…for Now.   (you’ll wanna see the end of the video for this one.)
