Disagreeing with you is not the same as not seeing nuance.

Question: "What is truly Scandanavian?"
Answers: "Absolutely nothing", "There's no such thing"

That's known as the bluf, or bottom line up front. You can spin it, you can pretend people who don't agree with you just can't see the "nuance." It says what it says.

And as for you & Hank navel-gazing over whether or not it's a good commercial, they almost immediately closed comments on YouTube and have now pulled it altogether. What nuance am I missing there?

I wasn't meaning to do that, but I see how it could be interpreted as such. I'm just saying, I saw it and interpreted IT with a different sort of nuance. I acknowledged that the "bluff, or bottom line" was provocative and likely deliberately so.

They were going for high concept to a broad audience. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. Almost by definition, “high concept” goes over a lot of heads.

I think they whiffed.

Pulling the ad says they agree with me.
