Hell yeah, Zeppelin rules!

imagine Mr. Rogers stopping his show every 5 mins to sell you athletic greens and test boosters.

Or imagine the Flintstones advertising cigarettes to kids in the middle of the show.

Or comedy shows named after the sponsoring toothpaste company with sponsor breaks throughout.

Sure it’s gotten really bad lately, but mass media has always been rife with obnoxious advertising, both in-your-face and subliminal. The early days of Netflix streaming were really the anomaly as far as access to non-pirated ad-free media. The broadcast TV generation had their coping mechanisms with the mute button and eventually DVRs, but “media without ads” has basically never been a thing.

And what does it say right above that?

An invented term for a South Asian person.

And from CubitOom’s link:

An invented Indian-sounding given name

And from the sources cited on Wikipedia:

a derogatory made-up Indian name originating on 4chan in 2015

First seen on 4Chan, The term "pajeet" is an ethnic slur, coined as a derisive imitation of Indian names

I always wondered about that gif. Thanks!

Tell ‘em Wikipedia and their five cited sources sent ya!
