I've only seen a brief clip of the ad, but the backlash has been ludicrous 😂 The Left aren't giving up Woke without a fight. Apparently, she's promoting eugenics and white supremacy. Fgs have a day off 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 She's selling jeans, damn good jeans ( which you can usually get heavily discounted from ASOS) but that's all....

Sorry if I'm late to the party, I'm on hols in Cornwall.

You say "woke is dead"? I say, "Aztec Batman." Make human sacrifice great again!

By the way, it's obvious even from the trailer that the filmmakers — the writer/director is Mexican and the film is a collaboration with a Mexican production company — intend to (ahem) downplay the realities of the Aztec religion and culture. The Joker in the piece is supposed to be an Aztec priest driven insane by human sacrifice. I won't publish anything until I've actually seen the movie, but . . . they made Hernán Cortés "Two Face" in the movie. This ain't that hard.

Brilliant. I had to look up the Bernays connex with Freud. Analysis:True! Great article. We sell data storage. Now I’m trying to think of an angle to present it as a gorgeous blue eyed girl in tight jeans. Ideas?

The documentary series, 'The Century of the Self,' is well worth your time.

Well, I have a really cute dog. As for people, I suppose in semi-dark lighting with filters we might be able to…oh, who am I kidding. AI here we come!

Very good, esp. the quote about the cardboard box. I may as well laugh, because I'm old enough to know it to be true :)
