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?

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

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

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?

It's been like that for years


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.
 
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.

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*

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)

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.

"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!

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.
