Topic	How tasteless was that MLK Dodge Ram ad during the Super Bowl?
ForestLogic 02/05/18 12:28:24 AM #11:	Skye Reynolds posted... My sister and I were talking about this. It's pretty shameless to take a recorded speech from a Civil Rights activist, who was martyred for the cause of fighting racial injustice and oppression, and use his audio to sell a truck. I guess, but pretentious super bowl commercials have been a thing for like a decade now. They stopped being about selling stuff and started being about trying to outdo each other in terms of grandness to the point they're barely commercials anymore. Note, I'm not defending commercials since I think they're awful and predatory in nature, I just think singling this one out in particular is petty. --- AKA Level 36 ForestWanderer / ObjectiveLogic <cite>ForestLogic posted [p:895482627] in How tastel...
