Ads of the World posted the image above, claiming it’s from Russia. The site visitors’ comments run the stereotypical range, from accusations of racism to accusations of oversensitivity. Whatever. Is it even a real ad? Why would a Russian message be printed in English—while the product packaging displays the Cyrillic font—with non-Russian colloquialisms? The average Muscovite is probably as perplexed as anyone else.
It's a translated version of the ad for PR purposes.
ReplyDeleteOK, but still think "Flavor of the Week" is not a term or notion that would make sense in Russia. Could be wrong.
ReplyDeleteThis ad is so wrong. we don't trivialize other people. You don't see vanilla flavored products referred to as "white people". Not so directly anyways or so dang on often.
