Scandinavian Air's ad - Globalism's true face unmasked

This is not parody. This is not satire. This is an actual ad that Scandinavian Airlines decided to run. Needless to say, the backlash was overwhelming and they pulled it after a single day.
The ad starts:
"What is Scandinavian for real? Absolutely nothing"
The entire ad is basically saying that everything about Scandinavian culture is a lie and that their concept of heritage and history is completely made up.
Asians with pink hair and black people talk about how they Scandinavian and shite.

The actual ad, the cowards have disabled the comments of course, the likes and dislikes tell the story.

What is happening there is happening here and is happening all over.
Globalists want to destroy the very idea of nations. They want no national pride, no heritage, no culture, no borders.

Can't really blame them, they're an airline after all.
But that was a big OPEN OUR BORDERS WIDER F u to Scandinavia commercial.
And the nice touch was calling them all theives with no original culture or heritage except for those awful Vikings...who also stole everything and never created anything.
The real Scandinavia (according to this commercial) is Turks and Muslims.
The fact that SAS thought this would be a good commercial speaks volumes about how passive Europeans are about globalism.
SAS probably thought this commercial would be cheered.

The last few years we've entered this strange era where a huge % of commercials you see on TV are actually political/social propaganda than they are trying to sell a product. This cartoon I saw sorta nails it

The old mantra was Capitalism and the desire for the buck wins out.
True, not anymore.
Or companies now think that shite like this wins the buck in the end.
Imagine an Airline doing that with Africa, telling Africans to go frick themselves and you aren't shite as a culture...with the same taglines: What is truly African?
"You didn't do anything, you didn't invent anything, you stole from your neighbors, other peoples found your gold mines, other countries found your diamond mines, etc. What really is African? Isn't it the people who brought you civilization? Built your roads, your trains, developed patches of Wilderness into cities and then countries?
So every time we let in outsiders into Africa to build and develop and take from the land, we add progress, relationships, diversity and bringing out the best of everyone."
Now that would go over well..

Considering that Scandinavian Airlines doesn't have the near total monopoly it once enjoyed in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, it's incredibly shortsighted and just stupid, from a business perspective.

This is what happens when HR fills the Advertising/Marketing departments with PR people whose primary objectives are inclusivity, being politically correct and ensuring that no one is offended.

You are one stupid mother fricker
"Snowflake pussy"

That’s an ad for a company? What they hell are they trying to sell?
Posted on 2/13/20 at 4:56 am to xiv
Nobody ITT is offended. We are stunned at how stupid and condescending a company can be to its own country

Yep.
When I see one of those, I go out of my way not to support the company that has chosen to criticize my life and beliefs with their profits.
The other thing is that there is a disproportionately large number of blacks, Hispanics, and women in commercials.

While I normally as disliked xiv posts on principle alone, I'm not really getting the hate here.
They say something we all knew already, that cultures change as they bring in things from different cultures.
And there point of their commercial? Travel and find something awesome and bring it back. Find something you love somewhere else and bring it back and share it.
Wow, that's a horrible thing for an airline to say. Promoting travel. Promoting finding new experiences. Promoting exploring.
Look, if they called some of those things cultural appropriation, then I'm fine giving them crap. But they didn't.
They are an airline that said go visit the world and find and experience new and exciting things and bring it home.
Yeah they showed people of different ethnicities. Ok. That didn't phase me.
If an American company did that type of commercial would have been much more woke and diverse. They didn't have a single lgbtqia+ person. They would be boycotted here.

I liked the ad too. You said it well. The xiv guy was just being his typical douche, though. He didn’t even take a stand on the ad.

If an American commercial said what does it mean be be American - “absolutely nothing” and that we were not better’ then our pilgrim ancestors who came and took shite..... yeah I would be pissed.
You can highlight the outside influences on an areas cultural tapestry without striking down what hey know people are proud of.
I work in Denmark a little bit - heading there in a few days. They are proud people - this was definitely tone deaf
