Okay, this ad is from 2015, but it irks me big-time. For starters, the guy is a dweeb, start to finish. Then she stops to take pictures of...a windfarm? That's not scenic, it's blight on the landscape.
The guy is a jerk. Have you ever noticed that they never (well, very rarely) portray BIPOC, LGBTQWERTY, minorities, immigrants or other "disadvantaged" "victim" or "oppressed" peoples as the ignorant, uninformed, clumsy, inept person who needs to be "taught," "enlightened," or "guided" into his need for the product or service that's being advertised?
It's always the straight white male (you know, the "oppressor class") who needs to know how the product or service will straighten him out because he's too stupid or uninformed to figure it out for himself. Next time you see the straight white male as the fall guy, pay attention to just who is the one who tells him how the advertised product will fix his situation.
And regarding this ad, he's so stupid and unobservant, he doesn't notice that he's opening the door on the edge of a cliff. She's soooooo clever, and he's soooooooo stupid, and it's soooooo funnnnieeeee ....and he's soooooo dead.
Stupid privileged white guy. Serves him right. (/sarcasm)
Okay, end of rant. But pay attention to just who is "smart" and who is "stupid" in these ads.
