I will do me. I didn’t clutch my pearls, I dispatched my daughter quickly, and don’t care about interracial portrayals in ads. Lol.  You and the banner flyer are going off the rails about book banning and white folks.

Now, the HIV meds commercials are fucking ludicrous and I’ll argue that all day long. 

I’m not going off any rail. I’m illustrating two things 1) what is considered inappropriate versus acceptable is always changing. Hence my many examples, and the concept of which you mocked earlier. 2) It’s a problem for people who can’t accept change because in general people can’t consistently agree on what society should look like, what is acceptable, etc, save very basic things like murder, assaulting children, etc. 

 

and you’re demonstrating that attitude. But the real problem is you don’t seem to have the faculties to grasp what folks are trying to see and critically view your own behavior through that Lense. 
 

so to bring it back to my earlier post in this thread, the world will always change, and many of those changes will make us angry and we will hate, and it’s our responsibility to make our peace with that and move forward. Because otherwise you get people intent on moving us backwards.

If they’re trying to portray gays as oversexualized beings, mission accomplished. Much less suggestive behavior with Viagra or Cialis that are actually addressing sexual afflictions. 

@SydneyCartonyeah, you’re not going off the rails at all. And no, I don’t have the faculties pal.

Holy shit....you really DID go there!  AWESOME!

Gotta tell ya, I don't even know what ad you're talking about - I can recall a few HUV drug ads, and they show things like....a dude coming up behind his boyfriend who is cooking, and snuggling/tucking his head into shoulder.  THE HORROR AND OBSCENITY OF IT ALL!

Goddamn, it's not often that we get such a perfect "when I'm in a hole, I KEEP DIGGING!" commitment.  Bravo.

You really think I’m in a hole.

In a hole.  Are an a-hole.  Potato, potahto.

The fact that you think you're coming off well, at all, by your posts.....well, like I said, lack of self-awareness may be the tastiest snack the internet has to offer.  It's the Ritz-slathered-with-EZ Cheez of internet snacks -- undeniably tasty and irresistible, even if bankrupt of any nutrition.

You’re a poet.  That you think I’m in any sort of hole and that a lot of posters here probably agree with you suggests to me I’ve got it 100% correct. Your view (Brisket, Sydney) doesn’t comport with real, non-Austin world, yet, you REALLY think that it does. I’ll tap out because I’m fatigued. I look forward to the impending racist and homophobic accusations.

Real talk tho, what happened to Superbowl commercials? They suck so bad now. It's not that they're different, they just aren't funny or interesting.

I think part of the reason commercials suck now is because the products being promoted suck. Good commercials are for tangible and/or cool things like beer, sportscars, tires, watches, whiskey, breakfast cereal, maybe fast food wars. But most ads these days are for things NO ONE should give a SHIT about: Phone plans. Smartphones in general. Any kind of app on a smart phone. Anything at all to do with phones. Also: prescription drugs. Prescription drug ads should not be on TV,

Yeah.....I'm pretty damned confident that the majority of folks watching the Super Bowl (ESPECIALLY the majority of folks who aren't old white guys) were not offended by Rhianna's show OR by the HIV drug commercials. Like, at all.  Like, they hardly even noticed what has you in a tizzy.  

The fact that you think that a 1956 worldview is the dominant view in this country (yes, the whole country, not just the conservative Houston burbs) cracks me up.   Man, I'm gonna get full on all these Ritz with Cheez.

You insist on injecting race into the equation and presume I’m white. I don’t live in Houston. The majority of the country is tolerant of, yet uncomfortable with, Rihanna’s performance and HIV commercials.

I’m not in a tizzy. I haven’t mentioned R, even to my wife, to anyone after I addressed my daughter. Not here. I was responding to the OP.

Yeah, F that... I'll say, I try to avoid shows like Moody because it costs your left testicle to be close to the action but like smaller venues like Antone's or Far Out where I can get right up to the front and get into the show.  We opted to go to Duran Duran in Houston so that at least we would pay for cheap seats but hang out on the lawn with friends rather than cheap seats on the roof of Moody.

Duran, Duran, Madonna, Rhianna.... Nice. When are Rick Astley, Foghat and Kansas coming to town?

Wait....Kansas?  I fucking LOVE Kansas.  Carry on Wayward Son is my fucking JAM.  Used to crank that shit up in my 79 Marquis at 4:00 a.m. on the drive out to goose hunt.

When I was Sophomore at UT, I became friends with a law student who missed his calling as a writer for The Rolling Stones (Magazine). The first question he asked me before we were friends is who my favorite groups were. I guarantee that I barely passed the test. If I would have answered Kansas or Styx, I am 100% sure that we would have never been friends.

Duran Duran and Rick Astley comparison... do you think all music is "loud jibber jabber that all sounds the same"?

(neg rep for disaparaging a band that will forever be holy due to its proper placement in Dazed and Confused)

As someone who thinks that they are a connoisseur of music, you should reconsider your opinion. If you find yourself humming the tune from Top Gun, your opinion may be wrong. If you sing Eye of the Tiger in the gym, you may want to change your playlist. If you tap your feet to I Will Always Love You while doing the dishes, you might as well wave goodbye to any notion that you are cool. And if you chose Celine Dion Because You Loved Me as your wedding first dance song, you should be ashamed that you ever brought your opinion on music to this board.
