Urban Daddy Winks at White Guys
I usually refrain from using this platform to yell about things I don’t like, or from getting too personal, because I’m not so narcisisstic to think you care about my opinions, but I couldn’t pass up this opportunity.
At some point, my email address (which is publicly available) was added to receive daily missives from Urban Daddy, a restaurant and nightclub advertorial list that operates in a few cities, including New York. I often delete them without reading, but today I opened their message to find something truly abhorrent, besides their claims of editorial integrity.
After what New York’s bankers have put this country, and this world through – not to mention the innumerable changes New York City has experienced since their arrival en masse – it is incredibly infuriating to watch this company wink at them like this.
Urban Daddy is supported by advertisers – Lexus, specifically, in this email – who are very much suffering from the poor state of the economy, and especially the downsized buying power of their precious banker set. So let’s just make spending money seem cool again!
But they’re right, if they are to survive, they have to keep thinking the same, selling the same, and hope that nothing, really, will change. And it seems that’s exactly their point: ignore those lemons; the show must go on; and, ignorance is bliss.
