T-Mobile makes politically (leftist) charged Super Bowl ad.

Among the great Super Bowl ads, one in particular stands out for being completely dreadful. The commercial consists of camera footage of a collection of babies, while a female narrator talks about how they will stand up to racism and sexism in the U.S. (specifically citing the pay gap). All the while a shit-tier cover of [i]All Apologies[/i] by Nirvana is playing. Not only does this ad imply that there is an unfair pay gap in the United States, it ruined All Apologies for me. [spoiler]It’s not a T-mobile commercial, it’s a tide ad.[/spoiler] What do you guys feels about the commercial?

  • They have this but I heard that they wouldn't let a group of veterans make a commercial about standing for the flag. They were willing to pay for it too but they were denied.

  • I'm not really seeing the issue. Politically underline ads have been a thing at the Superbowl for years on both sides on the spectrum, ranging from progressive (inclusiveness ads by Coca-Cola) to conservative (anti-gun control by gun companies). This ad doesn't seem particularly bad to me.

          • I will say that this ad strikes me as being done by your typical centrist Democrat that gets in a fuss because of pay gaps or when Trump curses all the while being oblivious they're using these issues and a [i]-blam!-ing Nirvana song[/i] to sell phones. These are the well off people that will think all the world's woes are fixed when a garbage candidate like Kirsten Gillibrand beats Donald Trump in 2020 and spend more energy fighting a Bernie Sanders like candidate than any Republican.

            • Conservative: What should we do for our T-Moblie commercial, it has to stand out remember, 'cause it's the Super Bowl. Leftist: Let's talk about the wage gap, you know, that thing that totally exists! Conservative: Look man, it's the Super Bowl, let's keep the politics down. Plus this is a phone commercial. Leftist: Wait...This is a phone commercial?

                  • Gross. That was really gross. Surprisingly, the nirvana thing offended me more than the liberal propaganda throat cramming. I also like how the commercial is talking to the viewer like a baby....whats next? Gummi vitamins for adults?

                      First, it’s a Tide ad. Second, it is a message that America needs given how the repubes are trying to make racism & sexism hip. Third, more companies should follow suit including T-Mobile. Fourth, Dodge Ram...WTF???????

                        • Oh no, a progressive commercial, I'm so scared of it. Jesus, people like you are sensitive. Don't remember it being a T-mobile commercial though...

[/quote] So only the left are opposed to racism and sexism? I thought the right were opposed to them too? Apparently not.
