And another one from Lidl, here we have a model who seems to be staring intently at a blank page.

Apparently weird stock photos are a thing. Some of these campaigns have probably earned the publisher the only royalty they'll ever receive for them.

I am a huge fan of such stock images.

>>25340
This one is frightening in all sorts of ways.

>>25338

Don't forget "men laughing alone with salad".

This poor cunt.

Not entirely sure where this goes, but it's surely /101/ material.

221 sold.

I mean really. Who the fuck wears this?

People enjoy cheering at laptops.

I actually did that at 4AM this morning, when a Microsoft representative gave me a legit Win7 Pro key despite the fact that I was running a blatantly pirated copy of Win7 Home Premium and he had remoted in so could see my attempts to upgrade to Win10 for free via the sneaky "I'm a disabled person" route.

Top lad. Wish I could remember his name.

I fucking loathe takeaway menus that get posted through my door with shitty cropped pictures of food splashed around the page with varying degrees of actual food size, gigantic pieces of chicken next to tiny drink cans etc.
It's petty but annoys me nevertheless, if it wasn't for Justeat I'd end up deciding on places strictly on the quality of these menus.

>>25731

They can be a fun read, sometimes.

>>25506

They've finally sussed that the real money is going to be made from "telemetry"- read, selling your personal information.

Expect Windows 11 to be freeware from word go.

>>25740
They've cottoned on to the 90/9/1 distribution. Individual software sales net them a small amount next to selling Windows in the enterprise, and that in turn is dwarfed by their other products in the enterprise. That's why we've seen things like free Visual Studio and SQL Server on Linux.

Perhaps the just like making fun of John McCain

I've passed out and they're all laughing at me?

>>26110

It's giving off shit cult vibes. "You investigation ends here, Agent." But only because you slipped, they're too old to have beaten you up.

>>26110

I'm pretty sure that's the dad from Get Out.

Or is it Christopher Lee?

>>26110

If you've passed out, how do you know they're laughing at you?

>>26143

OOBE.

I thought "I fainted" also encompassed the lying down coming round part of the experience, especially if it's one of those very brief faints where you feel obligated to pop up and say "I'm fine", before you've recovered, and faint again. They might be quite justified in laughing in that case.

I haven't saved any pictures of this, because I didn't find it that striking, but I've been noticing lately how advertising people often seem to think that mixed race people only marry and produce kids with people the exact same mix/shade as themselves.

For example, there was a video advert, under a captcha, of a white boy and mixed race boy playing with Thomas the Tank Engine, then they grow up and at a wedding or something one gives the other a nostalgic/throwback gift of a Thomas the Tank Engine model (weird) then their sons, who looked like younger versions of themselves, were playing with Thomas the Tank Engine. I understand why the advertisers do it, to make it visually obvious who is the son of whom, but it gets me wondering about the statistics of how many mixed race people marry someone the exact same mix. I have been unable to find this advert on YouTube.

>>26329

I notice a lot of ads have mixed race families too. Which is mostly notable because in every other part of life people seem to mostly stick to similar skintones.

I've noticed that JD Sports' fondness for light-skinned mixed race guys of a few years ago has turned into a fondness for proper black guys now.

and Asos.

I think that's a bit too relaxed.

>>27703
I quite like the fact they matched the shadows to the angle of the existing ones. That's show at least some effort with PS.

>>27704
No they just turned RTX on.

>>27594
Ireland put a sponsor on their kit? That's fucking disgusting.

>>27593

I saw a photo on The University of Highlands and Islands website with four students/models, one of whom was black, and thought yeah right. I went to Moray College, which was UHI, and there was literally one black guy in the whole college There was one black guy in the whole college when my mum went there too but it was a different black guy. Diverse photos kind of imply they grab four random students and that's the mix.

>>27593
There is a shopping centre near me with some basic art murals of people shopping. You have every mix of people except a white male/female couple.
Maybe I'm over thinking but I reckon it was intentionally done.

>>27710

It always is. This stuff is never just coincidence.

I went to a small specialised music technology college. There were 60 people in the year as follows:

52 white guys
5 white girls
2 asian guys
1 black guy

When they wanted to take promo photos, they were being so blatant about going up to the girls and ethnic guys and being very keen to involve them.

ORGANISATIONS IN 'DESIRE TO APPEAL TO WIDER AUDIENCE' SHOCKER

>>27712

I think I went to the same place as you, though I suppose it's just par for the course for this sort of thing. They used me in one of their photos, and I strongly suspect it was because despite me being a white man, I was also a bit fat, which was at least a bit more diverse than the 200 other skinny producer nerds.

It's odd because in the real world most of the really exceptional people I've worked with weren't represented by the majority. Female producers tend to be miles above most of the white males I went to uni with. Maybe it's just because they've had to work harder to get where they are, or maybe it's coincidence, I dunno.

I just walked past this poster. If there's one thing you see on that building site, it's lots and lots of black lady workmen.

>>27716

I feel like the white guys behind her are the more obvious imposters they look painfully middle class like the hardest days labour they ever did was repotting the vegetable patch.

The doors are open but does staring at the ceiling somehow imply the lift is moving?

If you take one step the the left/right, you won't be separated anymore. You're welcome.

>>27717
Needs more Lithuanian to look like any modern building site. Black women and old dudes are the last thing you'll find there.

>>27760

Look at how clean their PPE is, they're obviously management.

>>27763
They fact that they even have their PPE on and so clean means they're probably Management. Cunts.

This advert has come with baffling clip-art every time I've seen it.

>>27819

Although it taught me you oughtn't pelt apples at ice-skaters because that's what happened in the top image from the looks of it.

For victims of rickets.

I thought you were meant to be quiet in libraries.

>Don't mind me sweetie. I'll just do some pneumatic drilling next to you.

>>28865

>This is my daddy but I'll just get on with my colouring anyway.

This wasn't my typo but really?

>>29274

Don;t judge my nan, she's been lonely since granddad died.

>>29276

I remember reading that someone makes a dildo that has the ashes of the dead husband inside.

Not marketing but isn't this a bit of an unfortunate photo?

>And here's what I'm going to be killed by.

>>29274

That is rather off.

If your Nan is anything like mine, then just get her some nice flowers. She has everything she needs, although she does occasionally like trying new things. Last Christmas I got her some Huel, of all things, and she loved it. Flowers are a safe option, though.

>>29428
What do buses look like where you're from, fella?

Not corporate but this is medical terminology now?

>>29451

>>29452

It's quite a recent development.

>>29451

Dumbing it down for thickos.

>>29454

They've used disturbing toddler words like poo and tummy for years but this does seem extra-vulgar.

Someone thought this was a good name I guess.

>>29455

The worst bit is when doctors use it in actual documentation. I think they get into this toddler-speak mode because some patients will be naturally anxious or have difficulty understanding otherwise, but then they kind of get stuck in it.

I sometimes notice women doing a similar thing when they've been around kids, they go a bit dopey and baby-brained.

>>29456

Do you reckon anyone will really be put off buying a diesel generator because of the name?

>>29457

My ex still calls emergency vehicles "nee naws" as in, oh, pull over, here come the nee naws.

It was sort of funny but mostly very odd.

>>29458

I was just thinking their cultural literacy must be as impressive as whoever thought [word redacted because I just got banned for an hour for posting it] was a good name for Woolworths kids beds. It's not like when you used to see accidentally goatse-looking logos and think oh well, the designer's just oblivious to memes. That was a bit enviable.

>>29460

Maybe someone at Cummings just thought it was finally time to address the company name with a little nod.

>>29456

>>27716
I used to read a trade mag called Computing. They had a long-running gag about "black women with routers". And it was true, almost without fail every advert for a router used to have a very happy-looking black woman holding it.
