I nearly decided not to list this ad due to the page damage... but I love this particular ad campaign. It's clever, funny, and will certainly be offensive to somebody. Not that I'm trying to be offensive, but it does make me laugh to see how society changes over the years. I was almost 7 years old when this printed, and nobody thought twice about whether the text would bother anybody.
We've come a long way since then. For the most part, I like the changes. Being more thoughtful of others, being polite, letting everybody make their choices... those are good things. It's a shame that we couldn't have stopped at "let's all be tolerant of each other." Seems like there are too many vicious, vindictive people who think freedom of choice and expression are wonderful things, as long as it's "them" making the choice for the rest of us.
Seems kind of willfully blind to insist nobody can steal their freedoms, but not realize that's exactly what they're doing to everybody else's freedom to choose. I'm old, and getting older, and don't expect anybody to listen to me. But I'm still gonna say what I think, before someone tells me I can't. Feel free to disagree, we can still be friends.
Climbing down from my soap-box now. Didn't mean to get serious, but since I did, I'll just leave it up there. For more fun, here's another collaboration with Chat-GPT. This time, in an effort to reduce the 'boilerplating' that's becoming apparent, I asked GPT to turn the original text into something "thoroughly new and unique." So, the first word I get... is "Unique". How stereotypical. I get exactly what I ask. :^)
Setting that aside, the text is definitely more of an "up-mix" than the previous posts were. I like what GPT did. It veered away from an accurate rewrite, but the result is interesting, exciting, and funny. My favorite element is when it changed "Sho' nuff" from a quote, to a bold, assertive colloquialism. I'll get out of the way and let you read GPT's version now.
Enjoy!
