Diversity in TV advertising

Anything goes - within reason.

I read the report about Eammon and his wife Ruth being dropped from the morning programme. It blatantly said that they were being dropped because there wasn't enough diversity on the channel despite the couple being very popular. (No I don't watch morning TV)

Perhaps there should a law specifying the racial proportions of TV programmes, maybe we could get Piers Morgan thrown off.

I get sick to death seeing mixed race couples in adverts on TV as if it is the norm.

It is not the norm, but the woke media continue to push this crap.

The thing is all those blacks that have been killed by the police have all been criminals.

The Amazon ad with the bird of colour doing ballet in the middle of the flats illuminated with a torch shows the stupidity of such adverts.

They got a person of colour, it's just a shame (for them) they got a ballet dancer who's French.

Presumably they couldn't find a black British ballet dancer.

I rather like that one but, you're right, it's as equally stupid.
If you don't have to give up your car because other people commit crimes in their cars, why should I have to give up my firearms because other people commit crimes with their firearms?

I can remember watching that, under duress, as a child (I was a child once, it's true, honest) Boring as hell when you are of an age when watching anything on TV that didn't involve violence and explosions was boring. In slightly later years I had to acknowledge that they were pretty damned good at what they did. The blacking up of the men really didn't seem insulting to anyone then. But now, we have Anne Boleyn being played by a black woman, which seems as dysfunctional as Marcus Garvey or Martin Luther King being played by Tom Cruise. It's a funny old world, sometimes. :beers:
