As someone who works in advertising, I can picture the brainstorming session where the creative team came up with this concept.
I can confirm this is the equivalent of a hivemind circle jerk.
Remember: Nike/Kaepernick, Gilette/toxic masculinity, and every single woke-washed, social justice ad campaign was concepted by SJWs and the ad agencies and CMO clients paying their salaries.
Dissenting opinions are non-existent -- not because they don't exist. But because they will lose their jobs and become blackballed in the industry if they so much as attempt to play devil's advocate against something like this.
They probably only did that after getting wrecked in the comments.
Same thing happened to the Microsoft/Marina Abramovic (the Spirit Cooking woman) video. The comments were devastating, and Microsoft ended up pulling the ad altogether.
If Alaska Air gets the same level of backlash, I'm sure they'll end up pulling this ad as well.
Right now, that's the only antidote. Real, regular people - actual consumers - telling brands they're not standing for this shit.
Lame ass attempt at being hip or relevant. No matter how they package it, wearing a muzzle is demeaning, dehumanizing and the antithesis of cool rebellion. Fuck Alaska airlines and fuck the CCP.
I love the irony of them touting their HEPA filters which filter out Covid, while insisting you wear masks that don't.
Pussies...They turned off the likes and comments section.
I noticed that too. I’m sure I’m not the only one who isn’t celebrating covid restrictions, which this ad appears to be doing.
This ad seriously pisses me off lol
Wow, all that over a stupid cold.
Bro , this is clown world level of wrong

Yet they have the wisdom to disable comments

Ugh. I thought I escaped this stupid song in the 80s.
.22 short behind the ear for each of them. They ruined a great song, I'm keeping my Medieval Midget thank you very much.
