    Woke Marketing is dying a painful death because it HAD to. When you look at what it actually does it becomes antithetical to what a company needs to do
    to survive. So if they have any chance of keeping their company afloat, they HAVE to ditch it.

    It's hilarious how every family in a commercial now has to be mixed race. As
    if that's the norm in America.

    Afaics, advertisers strive to *include*, not to normalize.

    All it does is hang a big neon sign that says "woke pandering" over the whole thing and distract from the product being advertised.

    Not all. Every morning for C-SPAN's Washington Journal, they rotate
    through the cable company sponsors. One of them uses a family that is so incredibly white, it didn't look real.

    But, assuming they're *not* actually trying for a faithful depiction of
    the human condition, what's their downside liability in such ads? How
    many viewers will be outraged by this particular "woke pandering"? How
    many will be deceived?
