Marmite
Vile zionist global corporation UNILEVER should sort their own house out.
The maker of Marmite has launched legal action against the British National Party for using the brand in an election video. Global omnicorp Unilever was unimpressed by a YouTube clip that prominently featured a jar of its celebrated yeast extract alongside a standard loony tirade by BNP leader Nick Griffin. The firm today …
When it comes to your basic fascists, racists, etc., you couldn't ask for easier 'branding' and publicity, because simple thoughts can be expressed simply (every advertiser's dream) and because, lacking any morality or ethics, they are free to say anything and do anything they want to. The joy of being 100% certain you are right, you are special, and that you are exceptional, is that you believe the rules don't apply to you.
lets also mention the moronic ultra PC - ridden, commie loonie left - they are just as bad, if not worse offering us seemingly good things such as polictical correctness, which is just a form of bully -boy censorship of the way people express themselves. Orwell was right only a little early in his predictions. AC cause I am liberal and love all this Left / Right mud slinging
"Very upset at our using Marmite in our TV broadcast. They should have thought of that before modelling the one for their Hate Party on us."
They didn't prominently display a jar of BNP in their ads though.
Maybe if they'd implied Marmite using some generic yeast based spread it would be a different matter
It is well known that Marmite (icky icky stuff, WTF is it really?) is either loved or hated. This had led to spoof "Love Party" and "Hate Party" adverts.
I don't see Marmite/Unilever so much getting involved with politics as taking the p*** out if it. Which, let's face it, is more interesting than most political manifesto broadcasts.
Marmite sues (or applies for an injunction) against the BNP - who'd of thought that would of ever happened! Such a ridiculous joke like story befitting of the joke that is the BNP. And when I say "joke like" I mean the sort of vile nasty joke that Bernard Manning would make.
Hey BNP, here's a slogan for ya -
BNP - you either hate us or you f***ing hate us.
Tosspots
I don't recall the Marmite ads mentioning the BNP, they were quite clever topical pieces I thought.
Clearly the BNP does stand for hate:
"They should have thought of that before modelling the one for their Hate Party on us"
implies admission of the fact from where I'm standing
Paris, because well... because of the Marmite jar that says "Squeeze me"
According to The Daily Telegraph, Hindustan Unilever, an Indian company that is majority owned by Unilever, was forced to withdraw television advertisements for its women's skin-lightening cream, Fair and Lovely. Advertisements depicted depressed, dark-skinned women, who had been ignored by employers and men, suddenly finding new boyfriends and glamorous careers after the cream had lightened their skin

The thing is, in India darker skin is associated with lower castes and the lightest, almost caucasian skin with high caste Brahmins. As most people know, extreme inequalities exist between castes. Whether or not that state of affairs is acceptable is neither here nor there when deciding if that puts Unilever on a par with the BNP. The advert in question was probably quite an accurate - if exaggerated - representation of the social effects the use of skin lightening products (along with a healthy dose of lying about your background) can have in India. One could even argue that products like that, despite playing along to and perpetuating centuries-old prejudices abhorrent to our western sensibilities, have a net beneficial effect for their target market - i.e. dark-skinned low-caste women who want to improve their lot in life.
I'm not saying it's right, I'm just saying it's not so cut and dried as Unilever saying "light skin good, dark skin bad" which is what we all *know* Nick Griffin believes but will never say in public.
I was just about to go to bed, and now I have a craving for MARMITE, and we're all out of the stuff. And we're miles away from any Tescos. Thousands of miles.
Thank you very much, El Reg.
The locals here claim something called vegmite (or some such) is far superior, but do note this comes from folk who eat timtams and lamingtons.
Help.
I WANT SOME MARMITE!!!!
