It’s really awesome how Dr. Pepper managed to alienate 52% of the population with one commercial. But why stop there? Why not say: Dr. Pepper is not for black people, Asian people, gay people, Jewish, Muslim, atheists, pretty much anyone who is not a white, straight, American, male. Are you fucking kidding me?
I saw this alluded to somewhere and it made me wonder, is Dr. Pepper just making fun of all the subtle male-based advertising like Coke Zero and Pepsi Max? I mean it is obvious what each of them are doing but Dr. Pepper is being so ridiculous that it makes me feel like it might be a big joke. When I compare this to the Miller Lite commercials, this seems more like a comedy skit and Miller Lite seems more like sincere sexism. But then again, this is an example of American marketing we’re talking about, so I probably shouldn’t be getting my hopes up.
