Progressives seem to believe that if they say the words “diversity, inclusion, and equity” often enough, all problems will be solved. - Gad Saad

My ability to be playful serves as a pressure relief valve from the otherwise unbearable, ugly realities that I deal with on a daily basis. It is part of the homeostatic mechanism for retaining my sanity.

The “I believe in free speech but” crowd violates the foundational ethos of what it means to have free speech. Usually, what comes after the “but” is an appeal to refrain from hurting people’s sensibilities and feelings. The general idea is that we must weigh our freedom of speech against the right of others to not be offended. No! Freedom of speech is precisely meant to protect the most obnoxious, offensive, and disgusting speech. It does not exist to ensure that you only levy beautiful compliments at me. Occasionally being offended is the price that one pays for living in a truly free society. Your feelings might get hurt. Grow a pair and move on.

All other things equal, advertisements containing cute babies, sexy endorsers, and fear-inducing stimuli are typically attention grabbing and will likely yield greater recall.
