They are losing market share and had to do something (melo)dramatic. Why not pick a side of the culture wars (the wealthy side) and give merkins another way to virtue signal? They will be hoping to pick up disaffected Tesla drivers whose vehicles are no longer fit for virtue signalling purpose.

I’ll stick to driving my Nissan Cube.

I'd like to put some people here in the blue tent.

 

[Avenger]

Preytel??!!

WTF??

Dear oh dear.... I'm screenshotting this for posterity and am going to use it as an example of someone trying to sound smug and intelligent but ending up failing embarrassingly.... Lol

And Twiz is one of the better ones.

 

[the phantom menace]

You still virtue signalled those rainbow weirdos.

I did nothing of the sort... I described one as being a James Brown lookalike, and indicated I didn't care what Jaguar does or doesn't do with their logo or their ad campaigns.

Though I can see that you clearly think there is something to get quite upset and "woke triggered" about when a company chooses people of colour... ed spandex costumes for their ads. And that you somehow think that is a normal or majority view.

Normal people can see it’s a nonsense.

I would say normal is not giving two shits about it, to be honest.

There is nothing normal about the new commercial you f**king idiot. It's made headlines around the world for all the wrong reasons.

Lol. But - apart from right wing media headlines, and those that get "woke triggered"/excited by them - does anyone really care what Jaguar does or about their ad?

Pou (and others) have already schooled you on the market economics of Jaguar's likely choice behind the rebrand, so no point in me adding to that info you've conveniently forgotten to respond to.

Stalk? Lol, you're the one that @mentioned me in your woke-triggered post, and now can't cope with the discussion you started

Biggest forum own goal since Pou's posts about how Player Options have been a good thing!

 

[Twizzle]

What the f**k does that mean?

“Praytell” is an old-fashioned idiom that means to politely and formally ask someone to explain something:

He knows what it means. He was asking what your bastardised spelling of it was...

Lol. And you managed to f**k it up again! It's 2 separate words - pray tell.... not one word (preytel or praytell if you will).... Probably best you don't try to use that idiom ever again....

They are a good thing, or else clubs wouldn’t use them.

 

[Gary Gutful]

They are a good thing, or else clubs wouldn’t use them.

…and why preytel do you think they are a good thing?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Because they are something the club can offer outside the salary cap. Period!

 

[the phantom menace]

There is a cost to the club - the resulting lack of control and freedom in planning.

That's why less clubs are offering or agreeing to player options now - including our own.

 

[the phantom menace]

I thought Praytel was some religious Foxtel offshoot...

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Obviously there's a cost to the club, just as there's a cost to the player. That's how business transactions work.

That's why less clubs are offering or agreeing to player options now - including our own.

It has always been a small minority of clubs and players agreeing to player/club/mutual options. In most cases they prefer defined costs rather than the undefined risk of an option. That has always been the case, including now. It's not a new thing.

The phrase "stay woke" became a watchword in parts of the Black community for those who were self-aware, questioning the dominant paradigm, and striving for something better.

The Jaguar ad isn't "Woke", its just dumb. I hate it and think Jaguar should get their money back.
Russian troll farms have propagated this whole BS woke and anti woke agenda to weaken western societies and to keep us fighting each other.
Wake up!

Jaguar have gone full Bud Light, never go full Bud Light.

Would they have been better off going bald light

Here’s a thought. Everyone who is complaining about Jaguar’s Apple style re-branding, doesn’t get it. They don’t get marketing. They don’t get rebranding and they don’t get what position the brand where in. They needed to take a risk and get the brand out there.

This teaser launch will be forgotten if they have positive car reviews to back it up in 2025.

Facts are that people would not have looked twice at the brand at a normal invite the journos soft launch, now they will.
