If tweet fails to load, click here. No fatties
No gay shite
No gender goblins
No social commentary
Just a playful commercial about two kids in love.
It’s like watching the ruins of a dead world.

Those photos would have taken like 10 minutes each to load.

If today, it would be all black lead actors, same sex, then some needlessly-goofy white male character.

No. The snowflakes are the ones who kept bitching about “representation” that lead to every commercial now having what this commercial doesn’t.

Then: “Chat with me! You're a cute boy!”
Now: “Subscribe to my Onlyfans”
Now: “Subscribe to my Onlyfans”

Look who just learned a new word

That’s like pre AIM. Or one of the first versions. Doesn’t look anything like what became the standard and I don’t believe it was ever that easy to share a photo on AIM.
Kind of an odd commercial. Who are they marketing to? Parents aren’t going to want their kids doing that and the kids aren’t buying AOL.
