Interesting advertising strategy. 4 or 5 ads seemed design to piss off about 80% of the demographic that actually watches the Super Bowl

OMG jeeves and wooster

Sugar Dick's hot take:
1. Broke ass 84 lumber has the scrill for a 3 minute super bowl ad???? Wut!?!?!

2. The ad was boring and kind of stupid, like a Terrence mallick (sp?) flick.

3. I can't believe those people didn't hear a 20' shhet rock wall was being built in the desert, or that you can come to america without crossing an oppressive desert.

4. I can't believe that racist hick ignorant bigot construction worker's super didn't notice the worker bought $20k worth of cherry wood and door hardware to build doors that don't latch or lock.

I think you took the commercial too literally. #Symbolism

The president of 84 Lumber said the ad wasn't pro-immigration.

I think the liberals should boycott now, too. 84 Lumber is too spineless to stand behind their own ad!!!

Good to see corporate free speech on display. Perfectly acceptable . . . as long as it has a ProgLib angle.

Corporations are NOT people . . . oh you donate almost exclusively to and message almost exclusively in support of liberal causes! Okay, SOME corporations are people!

So far the responses to that commercial have been remarkably predictable.

I think I saw that one and didn't identify any political connotation. I'm sort of trained to tune out commercials, so who knows.

Irony . . . most people don't get it.

It sure was noble of Audi, manufacturer of luxury cars starting around 40k, to advocate for a law that's been on the books for over 50 years. I'm glad that Audi is #drivingprogress when it comes to equal pay for women. Thanks Audi Board Members and Executive Management!

But don't forget us! We're "Chief Communication Officer" and "Senior Director of HR"

seems like they just celebrate male exceptionalism

Audi is just a corporation, K-S-U. They don't have real beliefs or feelings, so don't let what they say bother you. They are just saying what will sell the most cars.

Audi: In Full Support of the 9:1 male to female senior executive ratio (but the men all have female executive assistants who fetch them things and make their appointments) #equality . . . just not at our company

Corporations: We'll extol their virtues . . . as long as the message leans left on social issues (that they don't practice).

Hey Audi, I assume those two ladies are paid the same as all the men on the board and executive management?

Real Audi Tweet (I'm not even making this up):

Quote

When we account for all the various factors that go into pay, women at Audi are on par with their male counterparts.

Oh, so basically what conservatives have always been saying about the bullshit gender pay gap!
